About Grand Canyon Helicopter Promo Codes

 In my opinion (and that of many other travelers), helicopter tours are the most exciting way to see the magnificent beauty of the Grand Canyon.

Unfortunately, they're also the priciest of all the different types of Grand Canyon tours. There are, however, some things you can do to lower their cost, including using coupon codes to get a discounted price.

Discounts with Helicopter Promo Codes

Folks are always asking me about promo codes and how they should use them. Generally, they lower the cost of a tour by some fixed percentage. I've seen discounts of 3-10%, but most of them fall closer to the lower end of the range.

Most coupon codes have a fairly short expiry date. That's because the tour companies are trying to get a quick sales boost. What's more, you'll want to read all the details - many promo codes are only good for certain flights.

In my experience, the helicopter promo codes that give you the best value are the codes you can use when you're booking your tour online. Internet rates are much cheaper than buying your tickets elsewhere. When you combine the online savings with the coupon code discount you can really save some bucks!

Most travelers taking helicopter tours out of Vegas will visit the West Rim, only 120 miles away. They could head to the South Rim instead, but they'd need to take a bus or plane to the area and then board a chopper. Folks starting out in Arizona cities like Flagstaff, coupon code, Phoenix or Sedona will go the South Rim. Coupon codes are offered for tours of either Rim.

Using the Codes

The right way to use these promo codes isn't obvious, but it's also not difficult. Follow these steps if you're booking online with one of the major tour operators:

Navigate to the site's booking form;

Choose your tour, the number of passengers, the departure date and the time;

Type in the coupon code (usually on the page just before checkout).

The best sites display the total online price with the final, discounted price (the price after the discount code is applied) next to it. It's a substantial savings, especially if you're buying tickets for more than one person.

Other Ways to Save Money

Here are some tried and true ways that I use to make the use of promo codes even more powerful:

1. Helicopter promo codes aren't the only way to reduce the cost of your tour.

2. The importance of booking in advance is overlooked by a lot of travelers. I suggest booking one to two weeks before the departure date you want. Besides giving you more tours and flight times (I recommend mornings) from which to choose, booking ahead lets you take advantage of lower prices.

3. It's also important to book on the Internet, direct from the tour company itself. The tour operators are the ones that set the prices for their tours, and they're in the best position to offer promo codes and other discounts.

Summing Up

Helicopter tours are the most exciting way to see and experience the Grand Canyon, but they're also the most expensive option. You can lower the cost substantially simply by booking on the Internet and using a promo code. You'll snag a seat on a terrific helicopter tour for a terrific price just by following these few simple steps!
