I must say that some of these deals on Grand Canyon helicopter tours have surprised even me and I've been handling such flights for years.I don't even know where travelers find some of these rates. Heck,Information on Grand Canyon Helicopter Flights And Cost Articles I'm not sure they're real. In some instances, it is the tour operator who comes up with some creative pricing to draw in customers. For instance, this is an example of someone I recently spoke to. He found a really low price on a chopper tour out of Vegas and he wanted to see if I would match it. I was really surprised he was able to get such a low price on his tour. Then he told me. It was a "blue-light special." Just like K-Mart. K-Mart had a trick for getting rid of unwanted merchandise by putting it in cars next to a revolving blue light and announcing to customers a 'blue-light special' was in progress. It was a great marketing trick that worked well. Customers flocked to the carts every time. But I can tell you this. Their goal was to liquidate old stock. Meaning K-Mart wanted to unload it at a price people found irresistible. It was an excellent move. The focus wasn't on quality, so people may not have really liked what they bought. The items might have been returned, damaged, or outdated. So think about that. That just trains shoppers to accept low quality in exchange for low prices. So, what does that have to do with Grand Canyon helicopters?One thing-if you see a low price on a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon, you better question its quality. It's most likely that the tour is what we call "bare bones." That means it is the base price with nothing added. Now, a high quality tour in comparison, comes with transportation to and from your hotel, lunch, fees, taxes, and surcharges rolled into a single price. There is nothing wrong with looking for a deal on your tour. Over time, I've learned to restrain myself. Now I operate on getting a "fair" deal. This means you get a discounted price along with all the extras included along with a fair cancellation policy so you can get your money back if needed. When it comes to the air tours, you can opt for air-only or landing. Take the air-only tour if you have limited time. You'll spend less on an air-only tour too, right now they cost around $230 per person. Landing tours are a lot of fun though, so if you have the time and money, you should take one of those. SummaryLanding tours get you up close and personal with the canyon, and that's really what it's all about. You can choose from several tours out of Las Vegas, one of the most popular is one that flies you down to the bottom of the canyon. The helicopter descent into the canyon is a thrilling ride! But that's from my perspective. So when choosing your tour, consider what you want to see and do when you get to the canyon, and remember to be careful when shopping for discount tours.
