The scenery was beautiful ! My 2 grandsons 13 and 17 took the trip with me. We thought our trip was book for 11:00 to 11:30. On arrival one hour early were told our trip was at 1:00 pm and we didn't take off until almost 2 pm. Having thought our trip was earlier we booked plans to be North of Las Vegas 4 hours by dinner time.
The pilot and co pilot scared both my grandsons by announcing we didn't have enough fuel for our trip, and we had to get fuel. Both boys are adventurous. We all fly several times a year. I was not real comfortable either. I also notices a couple other passengers appeared a little nervous . After about 3 minutes it was announced we were taking off. There was no farther explanation about the low fuel.
Needless to say I spent most of the trip trying to reassure my grandsons everything was alright or we would have not taking off.
The personal should not make announcements and then change with out explanation.
Our trip was book way in advanced. In hindsight I should have ask the pilot about why we did not get fuel. I was 3 rows behind the cockpit.
Absolutely worth it!! Have to see the Grand Canyon from the sky. A must do. In our ride, passengers on the left side of the airplane did get a better view than the ones who looked out from the right windows...I do not know if depending on the wind they switch direction of flight, but if they do not, make sure you get a place on the left hand side :
Our group of 4 adults took the Grand Canyon Airlines Landmarks tour which is a 45
minute Airplane tour. Fixed wing aircraft tours are roughly 1/2 the cost of Helicopter flights,
Anyone coming to the Grand Canyon needs to take a flight over and around
the Canyon so you can truly appreciate the grandeur and scale of this magnificent place.
The tour was narrated in multiple languages so you knew what you were looking at and the pilots were
terrific.
NOTE: Anyone taking any flight with any company who has the SLIGHTEST tendency to get airsickness
should take a non drowsy Dramamine rtablet an hour or so ahead of time as some slight turbulence is unavoidable.
Don't let this discourage you- the views are magnificent, it will just ensure that nothing mars your enjoyment.
We highly recommend this company and tour.
