I booked with Hart's Aviation and the process was seamless. They are very friendly and helped me find a date that worked for my schedule.

I'm somewhat disappointed in our experience with Hart's Aviation. My friends and I bought the 1-hour flight lesson four our plane-obsessed friend's birthday last November; we were finally able to use the Groupon last week.
Firstly, we checked in at the office and were charged a 5% fee for using a card to pay for the gas/headset (so $77 total), which felt sneaky. We were then told to wait by the hangar and call the instructor around our time of flight, but the instructor did not pick up; we then called the office, only to find out that they were running behind and that it would be at least another hour. I understand being behind schedule, but the lack of communication was frustrating, especially as there is no waiting area at the hangar. Our friend was finally able to start his lesson after an hour, only to be back outside the hangar within 45 minutes; I'd be surprised if he spent a total of 40 minutes in the plane. On the plus side, the instructor was fantastic and our friend loved the experience itself, hence three stars.
Overall, I'm left feeling a bit cheated. $180 is a big deal for university students, and the whole experience didn't even last an hour. I understand that Groupon customers are not going to be as valued as other customers, but it's unethical to offer a promotion if you're not able or willing to completely follow through with the offer.
