Airplane vs helicopter tours
Why a private airplane tour can be the better Los Angeles value.
Many visitors compare Los Angeles airplane tours with helicopter tours. Helicopters can be exciting and dramatic, but a Cirrus SR20 airplane tour can offer a refined, private, comfortable, and value-conscious way to see the same broad LA landmark story.
More route value for the price.
Airplane tours can cover a wide landmark sequence efficiently: Van Nuys, Universal Studios, Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, Dodger Stadium, Downtown LA, Getty views, and, on the premium route, Santa Monica Pier and coastline.
Premium private-cabin feel.
The Cirrus SR20 experience feels closer to private aviation than a mass-market tourist ride. It works especially well for couples, families, gifts, and visitors who want a calmer luxury experience.
Safety-forward aircraft story.
The Cirrus SR20 includes CAPS, the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System, which gives the airplane a strong safety story that many guests find reassuring.
