We recommend arriving 15 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.

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.

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.

In our fleet, we have helicopters capable of accommodating from 3 to 6 passengers.

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.

We can create a custom tour to accommodate large groups by flying multiple helicopters.

In the past we have flown group tours 50+ passengers, and we are capable of accommodating even more.

Additionally, tour routes and durations can be customized to include specific locations of interest.

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 & 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.

Absolutely!

One of the most important things to remember to bring on your helicopter tour is your camera.

All helicopters are certificated for a specified maximum gross weight.

It is unsafe to fly a helicopter over this weight limit, as it can adversely affect takeoff, climb, hovering, and landing performance.

All flights and tours from Corporate Helicopters have strict passenger weight limits in order to fly safely.

Passengers that exceed a certain helicopter’s weight limit can usually upgrade their tour or flight to a helicopter with a larger maximum gross weight capacity.  This is at additional cost, as upgraded helicopters are always larger, heavier helicopters that require additional fuel and expense to operate.

Guests weighing over 250 pounds are required to purchase an additional seat. This will ensure comfort for you and all of our guests on your flight.

The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) allows children younger than 2 (24 months) to fly as a lap child.

We encourage parents to consider bringing an aircraft approved car seat for their baby during their helicopter tour.

This is not a requirement, but a recommendation.

You will know if your car seat is FAA approved if it has a sticker on it that says: This Restraint is Certified for Use in Motor Vehicles and Aircraft.

Yes.

However, we offer a discount (1/2 of a ticket price of the seat) for the baby if he/she is occupying a car seat.

Yes.

For children 24 months and younger, we offer a discount (1/2 of a ticket price of the seat) for the child if he/she is occupying a car seat.

Children older than 24 months will need to pay a regular seat tour price for the helicopter tour.
