Where are your terminals located?
We operate out of four air terminals, located in Boulder City, Nevada, at the South Rim (near the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park), the West Rim of the Grand Canyon, and in Page, Arizona. Visit our Why Scenic page for more information about our terminal locations.
Which days are tours available?
Most tours we offer operate year round. However, there are some tours that are seasonal, such as tours involving a lengthy raft duration or include an overnight stay at Bar 10 Ranch.
How do I book a tour with Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines?
We encourage our customers to book online to take advantage of our best pricing. You may also book by telephone at (702) 638-3300.
Do you require identification or a passport to fly?
All passengers aged 18 years and older traveling within the United States are required to present either a valid REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or passport. Any customer arriving without original, government-issued identification will be denied check-in, and no refunds will be issued for any guest in the reservation. Photocopies or digital images of identification cannot be accepted.
Does the airline provide roundtrip shuttle service?
From the Las Vegas area, we provide complimentary shuttle service to and from most major hotels on the main part of the Strip, which encompasses the area between the Stratosphere and Mandalay Bay. We also pick up at most major hotels in the Downtown area. If you're staying on or near the Strip and we do not pick up at your particular hotel, we would attempt to pick you up at the hotel closest to where you're staying.
At the South Rim, we do not provide airport shuttle service as many area hotels are within 10 minutes' driving time. Some hotels in Tusayan offer airport shuttle service. Inside the park, taxi service is available 24 hours a day with prior arrangement. The fare from the park to Grand Canyon National Park Airport is approximately $5/person each way.
Are there any hidden fees or extra charges that I need to pay at check-in?
Absolutely not! The rate we quote you is the rate you pay. No guesswork, no unexpected taxes or fees.
