	Should inclement weather prevent a flight at the booked location, the same prepaid voucher will be accepted at any of The Helicopter Line aviation bases for a flight of similar duration and price. This avoids the situation of refunds.

	<li>
	Customers wanting to make changes to dates or time of departure are required to contact the relevant operating base by 9.00am on the day of departure.
	</li>
	<li>
	No refund will be given for no shows or changes made less than 24 hours prior to departure.

	<li>Warm clothing</li>
	<li>Sturdy covered shoes (snow on your toes is not nice!)</li>
	<li>Sunglasses and sunscreen</li>
	<li>Your phone/camera, and a sense of adventure</li>
</ul>

Your flight is subject to favourable weather conditions; if cancelled due to poor weather, you will be given the option of an alternative date or a full refund. The Operator&nbsp;recommends booking your flights early in your trip with flexibility for weather changes, so there&#39;s less chance you&#39;ll miss out!

From the Queenstown base, venture via scenic helicopter flight to the Southern Alps, the spiny mountain range that divides the South Island.

&nbsp;

Witness Mount Aspiring, one of the tallest mountains outside the Aoraki/Mt Cook region. It soars 3,033 metres above sea level and is often referred to as the &#39;Matterhorn of the South&#39; due to its distinct shape.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

You&#39;ll also soar above&nbsp;vast untouched tracts of native forest and ancient glacial icefalls before landing amongst the snow-capped peaks of the Mount Aspiring National Park.

&nbsp;

With a totally trip duration of 50 minutes, this is an unforgettable experience in Queenstown that lets you admire the awe-inspiring Southern Alps.&nbsp;
