Helicopter tours in Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles is spread wide rather than stacked up, the Hollywood Sign, Downtown skyline, and miles of coastline are all far enough apart that a helicopter is one of the few ways to genuinely connect them in a single trip.
When's the best time to fly?
LA's mild, dry climate means flights run year round, but the marine layer, a bank of coastal fog most common from May through July, can delay or cancel early morning flights near the coast. Afternoon and sunset flights tend to have the clearest views, and fall can occasionally bring haze from regional wildfire smoke.
What should I bring?
Sunglasses for daytime flights and a light jacket for an early morning or evening flight, since it cools off quickly once the sun isn't out.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Los Angeles have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
