Normally, this excursion is 6 days and 5 nights; for this special offer only, the trip will be 5 days and 4 nights with overnight stops at Grand Canyon, Lake Powell (at Page), Monument Valley, and Flagstaff. [...]]]> Flying M Air has one seat available on a special, abbreviated version of our Southwest Circle Helicopter Adventure.

Normally, this excursion is 6 days and 5 nights; for this special offer only, the trip will be 5 days and 4 nights with overnight stops at Grand Canyon, Lake Powell (at Page), Monument Valley, and Flagstaff. (There will be no stop at Sedona, although we will fly through the area at least once.) Total helicopter flight time will be between 6 and 8 hours, overflying some of the most magnificent scenery Arizona has to offer.

We are offering this seat a la carte — no hotels, destination tours, or ground transportation is included. Passenger will be required to make his/her own hotel arrangements. Flying M Air will provide helicopter transportation only. Passenger will be required to adhere to departure schedule set in advance by Flying M Air for this excursion.

Our regular price for the Southwest Circle Helicopter Adventure using a la carte pricing for two passengers with four overnight stops would cost $5,000.

For this special offer only, we are offering this scenic five-day flight for one person for only $1,995.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity for a single traveller to enjoy the adventure of helicopter travel without spending a lot of money. Flying M Air is conducting this trip with a second helicopter so passenger will be one of a party of five travellers. Weather permitting, the trip will include extended flight time over Lake Powell and in the Goosenecks area of the San Juan River. The trip may also include lunch stops at Marble Canyon, Bullfrog Basin, and Winslow.

Price includes:

• Scenic helicopter flight originating at Deer Valley Airport in North Phoenix for one person with overnight stops at Grand Canyon, Page, Monument Valley, and Flagstaff.
• 6 to 8 hours total helicopter flight time.

Price does not include:

• Hotels
• Meals
• Ground transportation
• Destination tours or activities
• Gratuities

There is no helicopter operator with more experience [...]]]> Flying M Air will be at Page Airport on beautiful Lake Powell from midday on March 23 through midday on March 24. 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 50 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 we charge $495/hour per hour for photo flights over the lake, as well as travel time to get to the lake from the Phoenix area. For these dates only, we are offering photo flights for $395/hour. Because we’ll already be at the lake on these dates, you’ll also save nearly $2,000 in aircraft ferry costs. 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:
March 23: 2 PM to sunset
March 24: sunrise to 10 AM

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.
