Lots of travelers are asking if Grand Canyon helicopters will be flying this Thanksgiving and the answer is \”yes.\” In fact, they\’ll be flying on a regular schedule, which, if you read between the lines, means it will be a busy holiday weekend.

Taking the busy weekend theme a step farther means me advising you guys to book your helicopter ride in advance. Typically I recommend a week ahead of time. But if you can\’t, try to do it 72 hours prior. You\’ll save money and you\’ll get the flight and time you want.

The other key thing is to make sure you book a tour with a decent cancellation policy. Holiday plans change, as well know, including helicopter tour companies. That\’s why you want one that includes a cancel policy that refunds all your money if you can\’t do the flight within 24 hours of take off.

Further, its wintertime, folks, and the elements can be unpredictable. Indeed, out here in the southwest, winters are mild compared to, say, those in New England. But inclement weather can still raise its ugly head. Again, reputable companies know this and will reschedule you free of charge or give you back your money.

I can\’t see into the future but sometimes Las Vegas in particular can get unseasonably warm. Don\’t let that lull you into dressing too light. What I mean by this is to don shorts and hoodie. The West Rim and the South Rim get cold and you want to make sure you dress accordingly in order to enjoy your tour.

Las Vegas helicopters will get you to the West Rim and back while South Rim rides go over just that area. Please note that Vegas helicopters don\’t do the South Rim. If you\’re interested in that, I strongly suggest you take a airplane flight and combine it with a helicopter tour.

From Vegas, you get your pick of air and landing tours. Air will be your cheapest choice and landing your most expensive. I recommend you go air if you are on a budget and want a tour that gets the job done. But if you have the extra money and you truly want to experience the canyon, do a landing tour.

In particular, do a landing tour that goes to the bottom. This is an extra special flight because it can only be done from Las Vegas and it can only be done at the West Rim. There are flights like this at the South Rim because the National Park Service bans helicopters there from doing it.

For those of you doing the South Rim, which is where you\’ll head if you are based in Sedona, Phoenix or Scottsdale, go with the longer flight. It\’s usually 50 minutes in length and it covers an incredible amount of the National Park. I\’ve done this particular flight many times and I\’m always amazed how much of the Park\’s most important highlights are covered.

Conclusion

Thanksgiving holiday and weekend are here and if there\’s a great time to take a helicopter tour it\’s now. Go from Las Vegas or from key cities in Arizona. In Vegas, I\’m recommending landing tours, and from the South Rim, I\’m vouching for the 50-minute flight. But in reality, any canyon flight is a winner. Enjoy and happy holidays!
