There are lots of ways to visit the Grand Canyon. You can do it by ground or air. I prefer the later, especially if you have limited time to spend at the National Park. And so from my experience here are 3 key tips I use to get the perfect Canyon airplane tour.
Landing Tours
My first tip is to take a landing tour. These are primarily available from Las Vegas and they are a great value. I have two favorites. My first is the one that goes to the West Rim and provides the option to do the Grand Canyon Skywalk.
The Skywalk, which is also known as the Glass Bridge, is an incredible attraction that lets you walk 70 feet past the edge of the rim. By the time you get to the end, you'll be standing some 4,000 feet over the edge. The views are second to none, especially the one of Eagle Point.
But the reason I bring this up is because the Skywalk isn't for everyone. Lots of folks don't like heights and in that case the glass bridge is just not an option. Which is why I like this particular landing tour. See, if you fly over and decide you'd like to try the bridge, you can purchase tickets on site. That way you don't spend money on an attraction you might not end up doing.
My second favorite flight is the one that leaves from Vegas and flies direct to the South Rim. Travel time there is just 60 minutes, which is quite remarkable considering it takes up to 6 hours to drive there by bus or car. Further, this trip also comes with a bus tour inside the South Rim. It usually lasts up to 3 hours and then you're back on the plane and in Vegas for a night on the town.
Window Seats
I recommend requesting window seats. They will typically cost you and extra $10 per person but they are worth it. From Las Vegas, you'll want the window because the plane flies along the Grand Canyon and it's quite interesting to look at en route to the South Rim.
Understand that there's no guarantee you'll get a window seat because seating is determined by overall weight of all passengers on the aircraft. But the chances are pretty high. Further, if you are offered a window and decide you don't want it, you won't be charged. That's a win-win in my book.
I definitely urge you to get a window seat for flights that depart from Tusayan, AZ, which is the South Rim. These tours cover up to 75 percent of the Park and go over some of the best landmarks in the wilderness area. Again, same rules apply to overall weight of passengers and availability. But don't let that deter you. When you are booking online, make sure to tick the box for window seats. Doing that puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to getting a great flight.
Booking Online.
OK, here's my final tip: buy your plane tour online. It's where all the deals are. I regularly do this and save up to 30 percent on air-only flights and up to 20 percent on landing tours. Meanwhile I meet lots of travelers who spend hours on the Web hunting for the best rates. Folks, don't fall into that trap. Simply find a tour operator you like, go to their website, and book it. I know it sounds like I'm oversimplifying the process but in truth it's that easy.
