## Who they are

Como Seaplanes is a certified air operator that runs scenic seaplane flights over Lake Como. It takes off and lands on the lake itself, in front of the city of Como, and has its office at Viale Massenzio Masia 44. It works hand in hand with the Aero Club Como, which the website presents as the oldest seaplane flying school still active, based in the same harbour. The website does not give the names of those in charge or the year it began flying, and the "years of history" counter on its home page appears empty. Of its pilots it says that they total thousands of flying hours in very different conditions, without giving figures.

## The aircraft and the flights

It flies a floatplane Cessna 206, with room for up to five passengers and a maximum total weight of 320 kg between them all. Rates are published for two people, and the website itself warns that you may share the plane with other passengers if you do not fill it yourselves. No previous experience is needed; the crew makes sure the flight is safe and comfortable.

It has three itineraries, of 30, 60 and 90 minutes, which leave and return to Como. The short one tours the centre of the lake, with Bellagio, Varenna and Menaggio; the one-hour flight goes up to the far north, via Piona, Colico and Dongo; and the long one adds the Lecco arm and the small lakes of the Brianza, among them Annone, Pusiano, Alserio and Montorfano. The prices and duration of each appear in the offers on this page.

## What to know before booking

The website does not publish a minimum age, season or flight timetable, nor does it explain what the price includes beyond the flight itself. If you travel with small children, or if the passengers comfortably exceed 320 kg, it is worth asking before paying. They recommend bringing a camera or phone; from the air you can clearly see the shoreline villas and the inverted-Y shape of the lake.

## Booking, payment and cancellation

You book online, through FareHarbor: you choose the date, time and number of passengers, with a maximum of five. Payment is made when booking, but the booking is not considered accepted until the confirmation email arrives; without it, the request is not valid. They also sell flights as gifts, without detailing the validity of the voucher on the website.

Flights may change time or be cancelled because of bad weather or maintenance that could not be foreseen in advance. If it is Como Seaplanes that cancels, it refunds the full amount. The website does not explain what happens if you are the one who cancels, so ask before paying if your plans are not firm.

## Languages and contact

The website is in Italian and English. For questions, they answer on +39 351 594 2877 and at info@comoseaplanes.com, and there is a contact form on the page itself.
