Helicopter Tour FAQ

We are located at the Montgomery Field Airport. Our location is very central to the major freeways of San Diego including the 5, 15, 805 and 163. We are only 15 minutes away from many popular destinations including downtown, La Jolla, and many of the beach communities.

How early should I arrive for my tour?

We recommend arriving fifteen minutes before your schedule tour. This allows enough time for us to check in and pre-flight all passengers regarding safety issues and procedures when in the helicopter.

Do you have a set schedule? What's the best time to fly?

No, we do not have a set schedule. Tours are established solely by request. We will fly any of our tours at anytime, weather permitting. We suggest you book (reserve) your flight in advance to ensure availability.

All of our tours offer an excellent view, and any flight time in the late morning or early afternoon should be fantastic, weather permitting. We are open 7 days a week and will do our best to accommodate the needs of our clients. Customers always come first.

Is the price advertised per person or does it include everyone?

Our listed prices represent the total cost for all passengers in that particular helicopter. Each helicopter has a set rate, and the number of passengers in your party determines which helicopter you will take.

Do we share the helicopter with other passengers?

All of our tours are private - meaning you will have your own helicopter, and vacant seats will not be filled in order to accommodate more passengers. We feel strongly that private tours offer a more personal and memorable experience for each passenger.

How experienced are your pilots?

Corporate Helicopters is proud to provide our passengers with some of the most experienced pilots in San Diego. Each of our pilots has received extensive company and factory training to ensure the highest level of safety on each and every flight.

How many passengers can fly in the helicopter?

In our fleet, we have helicopters capable of accommodating from 3 to 6 passengers. As previously mentioned, we are also capable of flying multiple helicopters for groups larger than 6. However, each helicopter does have a maximum weight limit and an individual seat limit. If either of these limits are exceeded, you will need to upgrade to a larger helicopter or decrease the size of your party to ensure all safety requirements are met.

What about group or customized tours?

We can create a custom tour to accommodate large groups by flying multiple helicopters. We have flown 50 plus passengers, and are capable of accommodating even more. Additionally, tour routes and durations can be customized to include specific locations of interest.

Are we able to modify our route to see our house or other special location?

Our tours are routed to offer the most breathtaking sites within the allotted time period. However, if there is a specific location you would like to see, we are capable of adjusting the hour long Surf and Turf tour to include your desired location assuming no extra flight time is incurred. Our main goal is to provide each customer with the most memorable experience possible.

Can I take pictures on my tour?

Absolutely! One of the most important things to remember to bring on your helicopter tour is your camera. During our tours, you will be able to shoot through the glass of your helicopter and capture some amazing shots of San Diego.

Do you provide flights for professional photographers?

We provide aerial photo flights for professionals looking to capture the beauty of San Diego from above. For these flights, we remove the doors and create a customized route to include all of the specific locations you wish to shoot.

Do you offer charter flights?

We are an FAA Certified Air Carrier and offer charter flights. LAX and Santa Monica are less than an hour flight away. Popular charter destinations include Temecula Wine Country and international flights to Baja, Mexico. We are experts at creating custom group charters to the destination of your choice.
