Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a private tour cost?

Pricing starts at $1,499 for a 30-minute charter (up to three passengers). Longer routes and larger groups are quoted individually.

Can I choose the flight path?

Absolutely! Work with our team to map a route that hits your must-see landmarks while respecting FAA air-space rules.

Is there a cancellation policy?

You can cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before take-off.

What is the maximum group size?

Our Airbus and Bell helicopters seat five passengers plus the pilot. For bigger parties, we can dispatch multiple aircraft at the same time.

Are door-off flights available?

Yes—photographers love the unobstructed views. Door-off flights are weather-permitting and require secure camera straps.

Can children fly on a private charter?

Children of any age can join. Under-2s may sit on a lap with an FAA-approved belt; ages two and up need their own seat.

What should we wear?

Dark, close-fitting clothing minimises window reflections. Avoid hats or loose scarves—rotor wash is strong on the tarmac.

Can we bring bags or luggage?

Only phones and cameras are permitted on board. Complimentary lockers are provided for all other items at the heliport.

How early should we arrive?

Arrive 30 minutes before departure for security screening and a safety briefing in the VIP lounge.
