Special Offer for September 2010: Seattle to Lake Powell Helicopter Excursion for Two

Flying M Air is repositioning its helicopter from the Seattle, WA area to Page, AZ on Lake Powell in early September, 2010. To help cover the cost of the move, we’re inviting one or two passengers with limited luggage to join us for the flight at a special low rate below our costs.

The Offer

Along the WayStart any date between September 8 and September 10 at one of the following airports:

  • Seattle’s Boeing Field
  • Portland’s Troutdale Airport

Choose a route to travel with us to one of the following airports:

  • Las Vegas, NV
  • Page, AZ (on Lake Powell)

You pick the route and make your dream helicopter excursion a reality. In the past, our passengers have enjoyed flights along the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, past Mount St. Helens, down the Columbia River, along the Oregon and California coasts, over California’s wine country, over Death Valley, etc. We fly at 500 to 1000 feet off the ground at a speed of only 120 miles per hour so you SEE what you’re flying over. This is an experience you will never forget.

You can take up to 4 days to complete the flight. (Normally, the 8 to 10 hour flight can be completed comfortably in 2 days.)

Be Spontaneous and Save!

Normally a custom charter flight like this would cost $450 per hour of flight time plus $350 per night for pilot lodging and be completed in just two days. That’s close to $5,000. For this trip only, we are offering this flight for a flat fee of $3,000 for up to two passengers. This rate — which is below our operating cost — covers up to 10 hours of flight time and pilot expenses. It does not cover the cost of ground transportation, hotels, meals, or any other extras for passengers. This is a one-way flight; Flying M Air is not prepared to provide return transportation to the origination point.

This is a limited-time offer subject to availability. It may be withdrawn at any time for any reason. Total maximum weight of passengers and luggage is limited to 500 lbs.

A $1,000 deposit for this Be Spontaneous! flight must be made at the time the flight is booked. This deposit is forfeited if the flight is canceled less than 14 days before the departure date. Full payment for the flight by cash or credit card is required at the start of the flight. Flying M Air reserves the right to cancel the flight at any time for any reason; a full refund will be made if Flying M Air cancels the flight.

For more information or to book this flight, call Flying M Air at 928-231-0196. (We cannot field questions or accept reservations by e-mail for Be Spontaneous! flights.) If a recording answers, be sure to leave your name and best contact phone number and mention the Be Spontaneous! offer for this date.

Special Offer for Lake Powell Photo Flights: September 2010

Flying M Air will be at Page Airport on beautiful Lake Powell from September 11 through September 25. While there, we will be offering doors-off photo flights over Lake Powell for photographers or videographers. We can accommodate up to two people, depending on weight.

There is no helicopter operator with more experience flying over Lake Powell than Flying M Air. We know the lake and the areas favored by photographers. We’ve conducted more than 70 photo flights over the lake in the past four years, from Marble Canyon and Lees Ferry, all the way up to the confluence of the Green River and Colorado Rivers in Canyonlands National Park. We’ve also explored the San Juan River Arm to Goosenecks and beyond and the Escalante Arm to its entry into the lake’s main body.

Be Spontaneous and Save!

Normally, to book a photo flight at Lake Powell, you’d also have to pay the cost to get our helicopter up there: $1,980 for the four-hour round-trip flight. But because we’ll already be at Lake Powell, you’ll save all that and pay only for the time you fly at our usual rate of $495/hour for up to two people (not each). If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity to photograph the lake without paying the cost of getting a helicopter there, now is the time.

Flights can be scheduled during the following time slots:
September 11-20: any time
September 21: 12 PM to 4 PM
September 22: 10 AM to 4 PM
September 23: 10 AM to 4 PM
September 24: any time
September 25: dawn through 4 PM

There is a one-hour minimum per flight. All flights are billed based on the on-board Hobbs meter, which records time in 1/10th hour.

This is a limited-time offer subject to availability. It may be withdrawn at any time for any reason. Total maximum weight of passengers and equipment is limited to 400 lbs.

To book this flight, call Flying M Air at 928-231-0196. (We cannot accept reservations by e-mail.) If a machine answers, be sure to leave your name and best contact phone number and mention the Be Spontaneous! offer for this date.
