Such a great experience!

2022/02/05 Solo Travelers Lydia

FAQ

Q. What's the difference between open seating and first class seating?
A. Although Open Seating offers raised seats and unobstructed views, First Class seating is more popular! The First Class Experience allows you to sit along side the pilot with extra arm and leg room with no one in front of you to obstruct your aerial views.
Q. Is giving a tip (gratuity) required?
A. Gratuity is never required, but if you enjoyed your experience a tip is always greatly appreciated!
Q. How far in advance should I book this activity?
A. We recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. If you have very specific schedule requirements and are not flexible, please book sooner. Last minute availability is often possible, but limited.
Q. Do I need to provide our exacts weights even if we don't exceed the weight limits?
A. Yes, the aircraft must be balanced in order to take flight. Providing incorrect weights can cause complications during check-in.
Q. What kind of helicopters will be used?
A. The EC 130 B4 WhisperSTAR was manufactured by American Eurocopters and developed to be the ultimate in sightseeing helicopters. More interior room with individual seats gives guests more shoulder and leg room, more visibility, and elevated rear seats makes for fantastic views. First class seating next to the pilot further enhances passenger comfort and visibility. The state-of-the-art WhisperSTAR is superbly quiet and comfortable and one of the most technologically advanced sightseeing helicopters around.
Q. What is the difference between Open and First Class Seating?
A. Open Seating: Up to six-passengers, the seat assignment is determined by weight and balance. The maximum weight limit per person is 290lbs.

First Class Seating: The three front seat configuration is replaced with two seats next to the pilot and includes extra arm and leg room. Maximum combined weight of 490lbs for two passengers.
