点评:We booked and paid for a overnight trip with Horizontal Falls Seaplane. Like thousands of people, this was a bucket list experience. We planned our whole WA trip 6 months prior and paid in full. The big day arrives and our plane is stuck on the tarmac unable to start. There were originally 4 planes but 2 took off without waiting. The 3 plane did delay and try to assist before taking off. There was nobody at the Derby airstrip to assist so we were unloaded and waiting for a replacement plane from Broome which never turned up. Next we know we are on a bus back to our accommodation with pressure to get a refund rather than reschedule. We tried every option to try for another flight including returning to Derby after the Gibb River Road but they were not helpful at all.
Computer says no.
To top that off, the company only does refunds once a week so we have to wait for our money.
This company has shown no customer service or empathy for our situation. If it doesn't fit in with their schedule then too bad.
The people on our plane could have been accommodated if all planes had waited as there was room on the other planes, or a plane came from Broome. It was just easier to off load us. My wife and I were gutted.
As a footnote, the day after our event, one of the seaplanes made and unscheduled landing on the water with a fault

翻译:我们预订了Horizontal Falls水上飞机公司的过夜航班,并支付了费用。和成千上万的人一样,这是一次毕生难忘的经历。我们提前6个月计划了整个西澳之旅,并全额付款。重要的日子到了,我们的飞机却困在停机坪上,无法启动。原本有4架飞机,但其中2架未经等待就起飞了。第三架飞机确实延误了,并在起飞前试图提供帮助。德比机场的机场跑道上没有人提供帮助,所以我们被卸下飞机,等待从布鲁姆起飞的替代飞机,但飞机始终没有出现。接下来,我们不得不坐上回住处的巴士,面临着退款的压力,而不是重新安排行程。我们尝试了各种方法,试图换乘其他航班,包括经过吉布河路后返回德比,但他们一点帮助都没有。
电脑说不行。
更糟糕的是,该公司每周只退款一次,所以我们只能等待退款。
这家公司没有提供任何客户服务,也没有对我们的处境表示同情。如果行程安排不符合他们的计划,那就太糟糕了。
如果所有飞机都等着,因为其他飞机还有空位,或者有飞机从布鲁姆过来,我们飞机上的乘客就能被安排好。这样更容易让我们下飞机。我和妻子都心烦意乱。
顺便提一句,活动结束后的第二天,一架水上飞机因故障意外降落在水面上。
