Please note: Efforts are made to seat families and parties together in the same helicopter; however, seating cannot be guaranteed. Final arrangements are based on weight and balance requirements as well as the overall makeup of the flight, which is determined at check-in once all guests have been weighed. If a party is split between multiple helicopters, the glacier landing will still take place together.
