Maverick Helicopters allows oxygen condensers and tanks as long as there is a clearly visible “D.O.T. Approved” stamp or placard on it.

Unfortunately, there are no service animals permitted on any of the helicopter flights. Title 14 of The Code of Federal Regulations, Part 382.117, states that animals cannot fly if “the animal obstructs an aisle or other area that must remain unobstructed to facilitate an emergency evacuation.” Every exit and aisle on a helicopter is an emergency exit and aisle. Additionally, as no one can be certain of how an animal will react in a high-stress situation, their access to the flight controls is a major safety concern to all aboard the helicopter.

Yes, women who are pregnant fly with Maverick Helicopters often. We always recommend checking with your doctor prior to booking.

No two people are alike and weather conditions can play a role in helicopter movement. Motion discomfort products are available for purchase in the gift shop. In addition, motion sickness bags are located onboard the aircraft in the seat back pockets.

As governed by the FAA, we are not permitted to make any exceptions to this policy.

An adult must accompany passengers under the age of 18 on the flight.

The sunset flight is the most popular departure time of the day, while midday flights offer detailed views of canyon walls. Early morning flights are popular in the summer as the temperature in the canyon is cooler.

On average, Las Vegas experiences more than 300 days of sunshine per year, therefore a hat and sunscreen are recommended.

Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon are two of the best places in the world for helicopter experiences. With an average of more than 300 days of sun, this proves ideal for flying. On occasion, poor visibility or very high winds may cause a flight delay or cancellation.
