Mith was our pilot and he really went above and beyond to create an amazing experience. We did the quick 15 min... Brisbane tour and Mith took his time explaining everything and took photos of us before and after so the actual whole experience was a lot longer. I love the one on one service. Fantastic value for money. We’ll be back and will be booking a much longer flight.read more

Can definitely recommend Bekaa Air 100%.

Amazing!!! The best experience! I love so much Flying and I wanted to have a big and rich day to surprise my husband.... Before making any decisions, because I was confused, I wrote in the chat of the Bekaa Air website to ask for more details and some advice and I spoke with John, who was too kind and honest in his explanations. So, I decided to have the Kooroomba vineyard and the lavender farm tour.On the day of the meeting we met Nico who would be our pilot. The service was of a high standard. Everything was so perfect! We also had the scenic flight which was the perfect touch! Nico's comments during the flight were very nice! Kooromba Vineyard and Lavender Farm is truly the perfect place to celebrate a special moment! very exclusive, divine wines, delicious food! the day was wonderful! Of course we will enjoy another experiences with Bekaa air! Thank you very much Niko and Johnread more

I Recommend John, I’m terrified of heights and he made both Taylor and I feel very comfortable on our flight and made... the experience Special. The flight was good but the service from John was outstanding. The only fault that I believe should be fixed is when booking a flight online you pick a date and then are told later on that day is booked out. I can understand that you may be booked out but from a customer view the owners really need to update their website to link with available flights because I would of cancelled if I was busy it was luck that I wasn’t. It is an inconvenience however the service from John was amazing and I would recommend because of him.Thanks John you made our experience absolutely amazing 5 stars for you. 1 star for the booking system.read more

Excellent day! We did a full-day pub crawl with Bekaa Air in September- hired two helicopters as we had a larger group.... The service and engagement by the pilots was amazing. The experience was tailored and the pilots flexible with timing at locations, enjoyed having a laugh, and displayed the high test quality and professionalism. Detailed knowledge of the areas and commentary. The locations we superb - particularly enjoyed Gutter bar at Moreton (they arrange a 4wd to take you a short trip directly from and landing pad), and Harrigan’s Irish pub. We visited the Beenleigh distillery, and a couple of country pubs. Helicopters were in fantastic condition - Bell R44 and a H125 Squirrel. Very comfortable flights and got us between venues in less than 15minutes. The pilots made the experience just as amazing as the pubs and the helicopters. Great way to spend a day seeing a large part of SEQ and doing it in a novel and fun way. Definitely recommend. Worst part was it being over. Now we’re going to book another do visit some wineries. Thank you both! 10/10 experience!read more

Mith was our Pilot on the Sunset Flight which was a surprise for my Mum's 70th. We arrived early and he was there to... greet us. Before taking off, he allowed plenty of time for Photos and an overview of the Aircraft. He kept the flight path a secret and we were delighted when he was granted permission to enter the CBD Airspace, something that Mum, a former Air Hostess, had never had the opportunity to do previously. The views were breathtaking and Mith was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Thank you Mith and Bekaa Air, this was an experience we won't soon forget. Highly recommended.read more
