If you're going to spend the winter holiday in Las Vegas, then you should take an air tour of the Grand Canyon while you're there. Winter is very beautiful in the national park, so it is an ideal time for an aerial tour, plus, you can find some great deals on tour packages. Grand Canyon flights operate almost year round, so you'll be able to hop on a flight every day of the holidays, barring Christmas day. Save Money on Your Grand Canyon Christmas Tour You'll probably get a price break on your air tour if you take it over the holiday season as compared to what you pay during peak travel time in the summer. For starters, you want to book your tour in advance. Then you can snag an early bird deal. Although you'll probably be able to get your tour tickets up to about 72 hours in advance, it is better to play it safe and get your seats two weeks ahead of time. Booking online will net you even bigger discounts. Flight Options When you're thinking about these canyon flights you'll need to choose between air only, and landing flights. Air only flights are more economical, however landing flights offer the best Grand Canyon experience. You'll see a lot on the aerial tours because you'll have about three hours of air time. Landing Tours Landing flights can either take you to the bottom, or the top of the West Rim. Landing on the bottom is a fun experience. You'll get an amazing view of the canyon, and you'll even be treated to a champagne picnic once you land. There's fun for those who land at the top too, because they can head out on to the famed Skywalk, looking down on the canyon from clear reinforced glass, giving the feeling of actually walking right over the Grand Canyon. South Rim If you want to experience the South Rim of the Grand Canyon you'll need to take an airplane from Las Vegas. These air flights go straight to the national park, arriving within 60 minutes of departure. The tours allow you more than two hours to tour the Grand Canyon National Park, which is plenty of time to see the main landmarks. You can even upgrade your tour package to include a half hour helicopter flight over the South and North Rims while you're there. Las Vegas Plane Tours Air flights by plane head out to the West Rim. The planes follow the same flight path as the tour helicopters, but they fly at a higher altitude. Plane tours are popular with budget conscious travelers. Because you can supplement these flights with a helicopter tour at the Canyon itself, you won't sacrifice sightseeing for the lower price. Conclusion The Christmas season is the ideal time to visit the Grand Canyon, and the best way to see it all is from the air. Choosing between helicopter and airplane flights will depend on your budget and how much you're hoping to see. Both types of tours are amazing and you'll see many beautiful sights. Just remember to book your tour online and do it in advance. You'll save money and ensure your spot on a tour of one of the most beautiful places on earth.
