The beauty of winter is how low prices are for Grand Canyon airplane tours. Even better is the fact that seats bought now secure these affordable rates for 2014 trips. Here's the ins and outs. Right this moment it's "slow" season at the Grand Canyon. That means there are fewer people coming to the National Park when compared to summer, which is "high" season. Tour firms recognize this trend and react to it in several ways. The first is to scale back the volume of flights. The downside to this is a lot fewer seats, which is often problematic during holiday weekends. But this issue is easily offset by the steep decline in prices. In some cases, the price drop is about 20 %, sometimes more depending upon the tour (usually flights that land at the National Park). And here's where it gets even more exciting. For anyone organising a 2014 flight, I urge you to think about scheduling now to get the winter discount simply because rates will increase as we go over to the new year and will go on to rise from March 2014 onwards. I get a lot of questions from vacationers concerning this opportunity, the most popular of which goes something like this: "What happens if my plans change and I must call off or reschedule my National Park flight?" Nothing. As long as you book with great companies that offer a great cancellation policy. What defines "terrific?" A policy that refunds all of your money if you cancel your vacation within 24 hours of departure. Further, exceptional companies will also change your dates (and honor your original rate) for free as well. A follow up question I get is: "What happens if the company cancels due to weather?" In such cases, there are several options. The very first is to reschedule your flight later on that day or later during your stay. Or, if you're able to only fly on that day and can't do it some other time, you receive a 100 % refund. Why am I focusing so much of this particular article on cancellation policies. Because they're very important to travelers who purchase flights now for 2014. Such policies enable you to plan. Additionally they protect your travel investment. But most importantly, they let you exploit acquiring the best rate possible. Grand Canyon airplane flights are available from Las Vegas and South Rim/Tusayan, AZ. Vegas flights visit the West Rim and the South Rim. The West Rim is a 30-minute flight and the South Rim is 1 hour. Tusayan flights only fly over the South Rim and can only be taken from Grand Canyon Airport. Las Vegas flights to the West Rim feature a number of side trips, which I strongly encourage you to check out. The most popular is the optional Skywalk tour. This particular flight arrives at the top of the rim and lets you decide if you'd like to do the Skywalk or not. If you do, you can purchase your ticket then and there. If you don't, you've got up to three hours to check out the area. Conclusion Now's the time to buy a 2014 Grand Canyon plane ride. Right now, prices are low because it is winter and fewer people check out the National Park. However, these cheap prices will start to creep upward as we move into the New Year. For all those savvy travelers taking advantage of the opportunity, only fly with businesses that include a solid cancellation policy. This way if your plans change your travel purchase is protected.
