Flying Angels did an outstanding job from start to finish. Maria was always available to answer any questions or roll with the changes. Dawn made the hurdles of a wheelchair and airport security look easy all while giving my mom absolute top-notch care. You couldn't ask for any better care or attention to detail. Five stars.

Very attentive. Great communication. We felt secure. Chris was wonderful with my daughter. We felt safe and confident in his ability to care for her and get her back on US soil safely. Maria’s communication meant everything to us, especially in a place we were very unfamiliar with.

I wish to express our most heartfelt tanks to Flying Angels for their help and support on flying my wife who had a heart attack followed by a stroke from Bangkok, Thailand to North Carolina.  They took care of everything; airline tickets, wheelchair availability at both the terminals and the aisle wheelchairs on the aircraft to move her to and from her seat.  Tiffany, the nurse that accompanying us was a God send.  She flew from the US to Bangkok, Thailand and ensured my wife was cleared and able to fly.  Tiffany was hands on and a blessing to work with during our trip back to the US.  If anyone is in the unfortunate situation to have to fly someone with a medical situation, you can not find a company better than Flying Angels for cost, expertise, hands on support and treating the patient with professionalism, safety and courtesy. Coupled with Tiffany’s hands on support throughout the return airline trip, Elise was my point of contact at Flying Angels Headquarters.  Elise was available for all my phone calls regardless of the time of day or night.  With a twelve hour difference between the US and Thailand, when I called her at least twice I woke her up.  She was on top of our needs and made sure that our needs were met.  Elise controlled every aspect of our return trip. She found the airline, booked the flights, ensured all safety measures were in place and identified Tiffany as our flight nurse. Both Elise and Tiffany are deserving of singled out recognization, to include the appropriate monetary reward for going beyond the norm in ensuring their clients were taken care of in the best possible way.

The Flying Angels service assisted us in one of the most stressful times in our life -- my in-laws were traveling in Thailand when my MIL had a heart attack and immediately afterward a stroke. We were in desperate straits to get her home, and the Angels were incredibly supportive and moved fast. Elise communicated with me nearly every day until we could get the arrangements together, she handled the logistics on getting tickets and paperwork coordinated with an expertise that I can only marvel at -- and I'm pretty strong in logistics myself. She is truly an expert. Tiffany, who flew from the US to Bangkok and back with in-laws in the space of three days, was kind and on the ball, very caring, and she made both of them feel calm and well cared for during the entire 27-hour travel insanity. I cannot begin to express my gratitude and my awe at their capability, their professionalism, and their compassionate, supportive, and positive can-do attitude during all of it. They made the level of stress so much less, and I will be forever grateful for their care. I would highly recommend this company and these experts to anyone who finds themselves in need of both emotional and physical support for any medically fragile person in their life.

When my 94-year-old mom had a medical crisis and we had to move her from Florida to her home in Buffalo, I was scared and didn’t know what to do. For years, she had flown back and forth to Florida with wheelchair assistance in the airport. But now she couldn’t walk or stand. She was weak, frightened and in terrible pain. Flying Angels saved the day. From the moment I picked up the phone and chatted with Elise, our flight coordinator, I felt confident that this was the solution to what seemed to be an impossible situation. Elise, a former emergency room nurse, was calm, kind and professional. She patiently answered all my questions by text, email and cell phone. She scheduled a flight and arranged wheel chair vans to transport mom 50 miles from a rehab center to a Florida airport and then from the Buffalo airport to another rehab center. When Mom had a medical setback and couldn’t fly on the scheduled flight, I was nearly in tears. After talking with the nursing director at the rehab, Elise reassured me that the delay was for the best and rescheduled everything for the following week. Chris, who had 25 years of experience in an ICU, was her flight nurse. He was at Mom’s side every step of the way, from her bed at the Florida rehab and into her new rehab in Buffalo. From door to door, it was an eight-hour trip, and before the flight, Mom was nervous and worried about being in pain on the long trip. But when she arrived in Buffalo, she was bubbling over with praise for Chris. “He didn’t feel like a stranger, he had a friendly manner,” she said. “And Chris knew what to do.” I was relaxed too, as Chris texted and sent photos along the way. He also made sure she got her pain meds. The next day, thanks to our Flying Angels, we breathed a sigh of relief. Elise and Chris took care of everything. I don’t know how we would have gotten Mom home without them.

Flying angels were simply spectacular.  The level of coordination from start to finish — literally delivering my mother and father from Southeast, Alaska all the way to Washington, DC, everything was arranged and managed with maximum compassion, concern and empathy.  Truly a blessing to have worked so closely with Sue, Gene and Joy — God Bless You all.    Matthew Paxton

We could not be happier with the service that Maria, from Flying Angels provided from the very first contact. She was amazing coordinating a friend's medical transport from California to Finland. She planned everything to the last detail, including ground transportation and hospital arrangements at the destination. She was communicating very clearly with us during the entire process, she was clearly very caring. We felt confident and reassured that our friend would be well taken care of during the long journey. Maria took wonderful care of our friend and has even followed up with us since. Overall, she made the stressful event and the entire process smooth and positive experience.

My Crown off to this group Elise, you put this movement together as if God was right there to guide you which I believe He was and Christi-Nurse you were amazing during the entire transition from one state to the other taking care of the patient your caring and attention to details the entire trip was exactly what I was expecting.  You never missed a beat with your untiring spirit and just exercising the gift God gave you.  I would never ever forget this experience.

Flying Angels helped us move my elderly mother from Florida to Minnesota recently.  My experience with Marcia and Elise was very positive. They knew where the difficulties would be, and ensure we planned for every eventuality. When Marcia arrived she had everything needed to move my mother safely and comfortably. She was very kind and attentive to my mother and I know that made the trip easier for my mother. At the end of the trip Marcia had every detail covered with my mother's new community staff and helped make the intake very smooth. I can't recommend Flying Angels strongly enough.

Amazing service!  Elise did a great job organizing, and Audrey was fantastic helping me dad get from door to door from his assisted living in MN to NC. Very happy with the service and my Dad enjoyed the trip!
