As we all know, Grand Canyon helicopters are the most thrilling way to experience the National Park. But they are also the most expensive option. However, it doesn’t have to be this way, especially if you use promo codes.

Discounts

By definition, promo codes are unique offers that reduce the price of an air tour by a certain percentage. From my experience, the discounts range from 3 to 10 percent, with the majority falling on the lower end of the scale.

In most cases, codes are valid for a limited time. This makes sense because tour suppliers offer them in order to temporarily boost sales. Further, codes are usually good for select flights, so keep a close eye on the fine print.

The codes I find that pack the most value are the ones good for Internet bookings. Several reasons for this. First, online rates are much cheaper than offline retail rates. Second, when you combine the code discount with the cheaper web price, the savings really add up.

But relying on coupon codes to save you money is just part of the picture…

Saving money on helicopter tours starts by booking your trip ahead of time. I usually recommend at least a week or two prior to your preferred departure date and time. Here\’s why:

1. You\’ll pay less;

2. You\’ll have more kinds of tours from which to choose;

3. You\’ll have more flight times from which to choose (I always take flights before 12 a.m.).

Next, and we kind of touched on this earlier, always buy your seats online and direct from the source. By source, I\’m referring to the tour supplier. These are the folks who have the ultimate power to set prices, run promotions and offer coupon codes.

Using Codes

I get a lot of questions from travelers about how to use promo codes. To some, it may seem obvious, but it isn\’t. If you book online with any of the big air tour companies, you\’ll want to follow this process:

1. Access the online booking form;

2. Select tour, # of passengers, tour date and time;

3. Enter promo code (this is typically on the last page before you check out).

The top websites will show you the total Internet price for the tour alongside a final, lower price that reflects the promo code. The savings are quite significant, especially if you are booking a trip for two or more people.

Las Vegas travelers will go to the West Rim, which is 120 miles to the east. Visitors in Arizona cities like Phoenix, Scottsdale and Flagstaff, will go to the South Rim. Vegas travelers can do the South Rim, but they\’ll have to take an airplane or a bus then transfer to a helicopter. Promo codes are available for trips to either destination.

Conclusion

I hope this article about Grand Canyon helicopter promo codes was helpful. My main point is that you can significantly cut the cost of a helicopter ride by booking your flight online in tandem with coupon codes. Do these simple steps and I assure you that you\’ll nab yourself a premium air tour at a rate that will have you smiling all the way to the bank.
