Looking for the cheapest Las Vegas Grand Canyon helicopter flight possible? Then go as early as you can in the morning because that\’s the lowest-price fare you\’ll find on the Internet.

Early Risers

This particular promotion is called the \”Early Bird, \” and that\’s because flight time is usually around 7 a. M. In the morning. Understand, however, that pick up time can be 1.5 hours earlier, so you make sure you set the alarm clock for 5:15 a. M. Or earlier.

This flight attracts Vegas budget travelers in droves and for good reason: It can be up to $20 cheaper per person on flyover and landing tours, which can really add up if you have a group of two or more people.

In most cases, the early bird leaves from Boulder City, NV, which is about a 30-minute drive from the Vegas Strip. The flight path for both flyover and landing tours takes you over Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, the Colorado River and the Canyon.

Champagne Picnic

Flyovers will turn back at this point whereas landing tours will go to the top or bottom or both. The #1 landing tour is the one that goes to the base for a Champagne picnic (it can also be extended to include a Colorado River boat ride).

Then there\’s the one that lands on top of the Canyon and comes with VIP passes for the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Also known as the Glass Bridge, the Skywalk is internationally famous for allowing people to walk 70 feet past the edge until they are standing a whopping 4,000 feet over the bottom.

Early bird flights are especially attractive during the summer because that\’s when temperatures are the coolest (mid-day temperatures can exceed 100 degrees!). However, you also run the risk of flying into the sunrise en route so consider this as you weigh booking this flight.

Wake-Up Call

If the early bird isn\’t for you (lots of folks visiting Vegas don\’t like waking up at 5 a. M.), then your next best option is to fly later in the morning, which is actually the best time because that\’s when visibility is best and the air is smoothest.

And if you want to make your experience even better, take a deluxe flight. Of course, these tours cost more, but you get to leave from the Las Vegas Strip, which is way more convenient than shuttling over to Boulder City. Further, you get picked up in a limousine.

Moreover, deluxe flights come with an extended flight over The Vegas Strip and exclusively use the EcoStar 130 helicopter, the best and safest sightseeing chopper flying today. The EcoStar also boasts a 180-degree wraparound windshield, theater-style seats and a cabin that\’s 25 percent larger than conventional helicopters.

Conclusion

I hope this article about Grand Canyon helicopter early bird flights proved useful. Remember to book this flight well in advance. Further, do it online as that\’s where it\’s available. Or, if getting up early in Vegas is an issue for you, fly mid-morning on a deluxe tour, which frankly is the best way because the helicopter is superior and the weather is perfect.
