Frequently asked questions
What's the best time to fly in Los Angeles?
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 happens 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.
How much do helicopter tours in Los Angeles cost?
Prices vary by route, duration, and whether the tour includes a landing, but tours in Los Angeles currently start from around $214. Longer routes, private charters, and landing tours cost more.
Can I cancel or reschedule if my plans change?
Many tours listed here offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure, shown as a badge on each listing. Weather-related delays and cancellations are handled directly by the operator through Viator's booking system, and a tour booked with free cancellation won't cost you anything if it needs to be rescheduled.
