Frequently Asked Questions

Will my party be the only passengers on the flight? -- The seating configuration for these flights is up to seven guests. Separate parties may be booked onto flights unless you book the full 7 seats on the helicopter.

Can I pick my seat? -- The supplier uses a computer generated weight and balance system that gives the pilot the ideal configuration to fly. The pilot may be able to switch the guests to different seats for the return trip but only if individual weights allow that and the passengers agree to allow it.

Can a child/minor fly unaccompanied? -- No. Passengers under the age of 18 must be accompanied on the flight by an adult.

Is there an option for language translation for non-English-speaking guests? -- The supplier features a proprietary language translation system. This GPS-based system is activated at certain points during the aerial tour. The system is currently available in the following languages: Cantonese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. However, the system is not available on every helicopter and should be requested at the time of booking with the language preference.

If I occasionally suffer from motion sickness, will I have a problem during the flight? -- No two people are alike and weather conditions can play a role in helicopter movement. Motion discomfort products are available for purchase in the flight terminal gift shop. Motion sickness bags are located onboard the aircraft in the seat back pockets.

Can I use my cellphone during the flight? -- Mobile devices must be turned off or set to airplane mode prior to boarding. Voice, messaging and data use is prohibited on the aircraft. Once in airplane mode, pilots strongly recommend taking photos and videos.

How can I best capture all of the highlights of my helicopter adventure? -- You may purchase a DVD recording of the flight made from footage captured by the exterior camera mounted to each helicopter. This video is the perfect way to share your experience with friends and relive your excursion for years to come. Photographs are also taken prior to departure and are available for purchase in a custom plaque. Photo and DVD packages are available only on the same day of your trip and can be purchased before or after your flight.

Can pregnant women fly? -- Yes, but the supplier recommends checking with your doctor prior to booking.

Can I smoke during the tour? -- No. Smoking is prohibited onboard the aircraft and on the ramp.

I use an oxygen tank for medical necessity. Can I bring it on my flight? -- Oxygen condensers and tanks are allowed as long as there is a clearly visible "D.O.T. Approved" stamp or placard on it.

Are service animals permitted on helicopter flights? -- Unfortunately, there are no service animals permitted on helicopter flights. Title 14 of The Code of Federal Regulations, Part 382.117, states that animals cannot fly if “the animal obstructs an aisle or other area that must remain unobstructed to facilitate an emergency evacuation.” Every exit and aisle on a helicopter is an emergency exit and aisle. Additionally, as no one can be certain of how an animal will react in a high-stress situation, their access to the flight controls is a major safety concern to all aboard the helicopter.

Can I exit the aircraft as soon as it lands? -- Passengers are prohibited from touching the doors of the aircraft unless given instruction to do so by the pilot. The pilot will open and close all helicopter doors.

Can I take pictures of the aircraft? -- Personal photography is prohibited on the ramp. Passengers will have the opportunity to take pictures while inside the aircraft and at the landing site only.
