•Complimentary Uber service will take you to-and-from the helipad in the city.

    • cwongtech on 10/12/2015 - 18:43

      Pretend you're Mr Grey and pick up the nearest chick closest to you if you're lucky enough to win.

    Suspect this is a competition not a bargain.

    Hrm a 2 hour window, whats is the time for a flight 15min? that is 8 flights.
    Minimum on OZbargain is 10 units right?

      Limited edition giveaway, not a competition

        Limited Quantity
        If your deal has limited quantity, please mention it in the description. If the quantity is too small then your deal may be removed. As a guideline, less than 10 quantity of items is not enough for a deal unless the item has a high price.

        Red Balloon has 10min private helicopter flight over Perth for $780.

        $780 for $0 (plus, you know, free uber ride) is a great deal even with limited quantity.

        • jelko on 10/12/2015 - 18:40

          LOL $780 for a 10 minute chopper ride. Nobody pays that. It's just like RRP. I paid $50 for 10 minute chopper ride at a local festival run by the coucil a few years back. 4 passengers on board. This was in Perth too.

        • Lukian on 10/12/2015 - 18:49

          @jelko: the best case I could find from a quick google for Perth was $89pp shared (5-8min).

          As best I can tell this is private, so you can totally make out vigoursly with your +1 in the helicopter.

      Competition / Promotion / Advertising / Spam.

      Take your pick.

      Not worthy of OzBargain.

    •If available, you and 1 friend will be picked up by Uber.

    Where's the LZ?

    I assume they're not going to touchdown on your front lawn and rotor-wash all of your garden furniture into your windows, while screaming "Get to the choppaaaah!"

    • spackbace on 10/12/2015 - 14:34

      Kill-joy :P

    • [Deactivated] on 10/12/2015 - 15:01

      I've had this happen, was an interesting day…. Not quite on the front lawn though, was in the empty block across from my home.

      On topic: OPs post says an Uber will take you to the cities helipad, then the 10minute joyride starts there before you're returned to where you were by another Uber.

    This isn't a deal, its a competition.

      All deals are competitions on ozbargain!

    • bargain_knight on 10/12/2015 - 15:15

      Agreed!

    "Get to the chopper!"

  • looks on 10/12/2015 - 15:29

    How many choppers do you think they have….?

  • muzzakus on 10/12/2015 - 16:37

    Helicopters must be going real cheap since the advent of drones doing all the aerial photography and filming.

    at least JV has been quiet!

  • speed8504 on 11/12/2015 - 16:10

    Any luck guys?
    I am getting a "All Choppers are currently in use, please check back soon"

    • jelko on 11/12/2015 - 16:40

      Did you actually expect to fly in a chopper?

      • speed8504 on 11/12/2015 - 17:05

        Yes I did..
        I know it's more like a competition and hence checking whether anyone got lucky to win that free ride in a chopper.

  • ozzyoi on 11/12/2015 - 19:02

    tried at random times between 1 and 3,

    got the same notice - All Choppers are currently in use, please check back soon"

    lol !! guess it was a marketing thingy, did anyone at all fly in the chopper?
