[GRAND CANYON UPDATE] Helicopter News & Deals for May 15, 2021

Hey it's Keith Kravitz from Grand Canyon Helicopter...

The travel season is starting to heat up, especially as we cruise into the summer months.

If you plan on visiting the "hot months," be prepared. Here's an article about what to wear and pack.

Bonus tip: Best time of day to fly.

LAS VEGAS

No doubt, travelers are coming back to Vegas. Some in the industry describe the mood as "euphoric." I tend to read between the lines. This means to me that there's going to be a tidal wave of people trying to fly. Bottom line: RSVP your tour now....

Tours that land at the bottom are still available. But don't wait last-minute to book one. Seems the Champagne Picnic tour is the perfect fit for Vegas Travelers looking to take a break from the Craps tables. Can't blame them. The bottom is an incredible experience and a great place to chill and reset before hitting the high-intensity that comes with the Strip.

Before we move on, I should let you know that the Sunrise version of the picnic tour is booking out. No surprise. It's the most magical tour we offer.

We are getting a tremendous amount of action on the air-only tours. These are the ones that don't land. They go over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Colorado River and Grand Canyon before heading back. There's a basic air-only and a deluxe air-only. The basic is cheaper. The deluxe costs more because it includes a tour over the Vegas Strip.

SOUTH RIM

The tour that's shaking up the South Rim is the air-combo package. Features a 30-minute flight followed by a 2.5-hour Jeep ride inside the Park. Jeeps are open-air so you'll be one with the great outdoors.

If you're looking to see as much of the canyon from the air, the 50-minute helicopter ride is for you. Does a loop that includes the South Rim, East Rim and North Rim. Try it and you'll have see up to 75 percent of the Canyon.

There's also a 50-minute airplane option, too. It flies at a higher altitude but it's also cheaper than it's helicopter sibling.

WEIGHT FEES

We've all added a few pounds during the pandemic and it begs the question: "Is there a weight limit?" The easy answer is yes and no. Dig deeper into this issue here...
