Grand Canyon Helicopter Tours - How to Get Front Seats


 
Travel & Tourism,Recreation & Leisure,Entertainment
If you want to make the most of your time at the Grand Canyon, you should take a guided tour. Tours on Grand Canyon helicopters are probably the best way to go, especially if you can get a front seat. You may have competition for the seat next to the pilot, but here are a few tips that might give you an edge over others in your tour group.

Play The Odds

Some of the helicopters used on these air tours, such as the EC130s, can carry seven passengers, but most of the choppers will only carry six at a time.

The seats are arranged with three in front and three in back. In the end, the seating placement is decided at the time of the tour based on the weight of all the passengers. So, there is no way you can guarantee you'll get a front seat in advance, but there are some ways to increase your chances.

You may want to start by figuring out your odds. That means you will have a 1:6 shot at the front seat, but your fellow tour passengers will also have the same odds. While those are some decent odds, you also have to figure in something else when it comes to an air tour...

Your tour company may let you go ahead and reserve a front seat when you book your tour, as long as you understand the reservation is not guaranteed. As long as you have a reservation, the pilot and staff will put you in the front seat if at all possible keeping in mind, proper weight distribution is the final deciding factor.

It's easy to overlook the front seat option when you book your tour online. Therefore, you'll want to read all the checkboxes and fine print, so you won't pass up the chance to reserve the best seat on the chopper.

Flying On Deluxe Grand Canyon Helicopters

The tours that fly on EC130 helicopters offer the most comfortable flights. The views are superior from these helicopters because they are designed for sightseeing, and they have 180-degree windscreens that offer panoramic views. The comfortable bucket seats are arranged in such a way that there are no obstructed views, no matter where you sit.

The deluxe tours utilize these state-of-the-art choppers, so you'll need to pay a little more if you want to fly on one. If you book one of the tours that depart from Las Vegas, then you can opt for an air-only tour, or you can book one that lands at the top or bottom of the canyon. However, if you book a helicopter tour of the South Rim, you will have to take an air-only tour because helicopters cannot fly below the canyon rim in that area of the national park.

One of the fun tours you may want to consider is the champagne picnic landing tour that lifts off from Vegas and sets down on the canyon floor at the West Rim beside the Colorado River. It's a beautiful experience. However, if you want to cover as much ground as possible on your aerial tour, then touring the South Rim might be a better choice. There is a fifty-minute tour you can take there that flies covers about 3/4 of the whole national park area.

Wrapping Up

Remember to book your helicopter tour early and do it online so you can reserve the front seats at the same time!

Sitting in the front seat of a chopper while you fly over the Grand Canyon is an exhilarating experience, but even if it doesn't work out and you sit in the back, you'll still have fantastic views. Keep in mind too, there are no bad seats on the deluxe tours, so don't worry too much about where you'll sit because you'll still see amazing and breathtaking views you'll always remember.
