It’s hard to beat a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. They are exhilarating, the views are amazing and you are seeing a huge part of a huge and spectacular area. Ah, but then there is the price! It is not to worry. I know of two cost-cutting tricks that, combined with promo codes, make these trips ridiculously affordable.

Before we dive in, let’s do a quick overview of these air tours. There are two starting points: Las Vegas, NV and Tusayan, AZ. From Las Vegas, the helicopters go to the West Rim of the National Park. From Tusayan, you will explore the South Rim. Both destinations offer air and landing tours. The West Rim, however, is the only place where you can fly below the rim and land on the bottom.

the two little tricks

First, book online. Rates are much lower on the Internet. But be careful when choosing which site to book your tour on. Avoid booking on big-box travel sites like Viator, Expedia, or Travelocity. Instead, skip the middleman and save money by booking directly on the tour operator’s site.

Tour operators own and operate the tours. They also determine the rates. Most importantly for travelers trying to save money, they are also in the best position to offer coupons and other discounts.

But here again, you need to be careful: make sure you complete your entire purchase on the tour company’s website. That’s the only way you’ll qualify for the online-only discount. If you don’t, you’ll end up paying full retail price.

Book your flight in advance. You’ll get many benefits by booking early, including:

1. More tour types to choose from (more on that later)
2. A better choice of flight times (I always suggest morning departures)
3. Closing at a discounted price.

How does booking early help to get a discount? Well, it’s actually quite simple. Just like a regular flight on a commercial airliner, the sooner you book a Grand Canyon helicopter tour, the more money you’ll save. You’ll pay a premium if you book last minute (for example, 24 hours before the tour starts), if the seats on the tour you want are available that late!

Using Helicopter Coupon Codes

You’ll save a lot of money just by using these two little tricks, but why not maximize your savings? Helicopter coupon codes are available and waiting to be used!

Grand Canyon helicopter money saving coupons are actually a series of letters and numbers. You need to use them quickly because most have short expiration dates.

Here’s how to use helicopter coupon codes:

1. Go to the website of the travel company
2. Choose your tour
3. Go to the online booking form
4. Enter the number of passengers
5. Enter your billing information
6. Enter your coupon code
7. Press the send button. The price of your tour will plummet.

It’s that easy, so I always wonder why more people don’t use these coupons. Don’t pay more than you owe – use a helicopter coupon code! You’ll get phenomenal savings, especially if you’re booking a tour for multiple people.

summarizing

I hope this information helps you save a ton of money on your Grand Canyon helicopter tour. Even if you can’t find a valid coupon code, be sure to book online and in advance. Taking those two steps will reduce your cost. But if you find a good discount coupon, use it as soon as you can: you don’t want it to expire before you book your tour!

Have a great time in the Park, you will love to see it from the air!
