Helicopter tours in Chicago, Illinois
Chicago's skyline rises right along the edge of Lake Michigan, and a helicopter flight is the clearest way to see how the Loop's towers, Navy Pier, and the lakefront parks actually connect as one continuous stretch of shoreline.
When's the best time to fly?
May to October brings Chicago's mildest weather and the clearest skies over the lake, making it the most reliable stretch for flying. November to April is colder, and wind off Lake Michigan, Chicago is a genuinely breezy city, can add delays on top of winter's shorter daylight hours.
What should I bring?
Warm layers for a flight outside of summer, since the wind coming off Lake Michigan makes it feel colder than the temperature alone suggests.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Chicago 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.
