Las Vegas to Sedona Flights
Trade a four-and-a-half-hour drive for a ~1 hour 30 minute flight that crosses Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, and the Mojave Desert before settling onto Sedona's famous mesa-top airstrip — landing in the heart of the red rocks, minutes from Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and the Chapel of the Holy Cross. Depart Boulder City in the morning, spend the day among the red rocks, and fly home the same evening.

How The Day Lays Out
A charter day trip — morning out, the day in the red rocks, home that evening.
Outbound · BLD → SEZ
Return · SEZ → BLD
Getting Back To Las Vegas
The return is the second half of the same day trip — the red rocks and the Mojave, in reverse.
The return is the second half of the same day trip: you fly Sedona (SEZ) → Boulder City in the afternoon, lifting off the mesa for the roughly 1 hour 30 minute flight back over the Mojave, Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead, seen from the opposite angle.
There is no scheduled major-airline service from Sedona Airport to Las Vegas, so the way back to the Strip is the Sedona → Boulder City flight, then your complimentary hotel transfer (about 35 minutes from Boulder City).

The Two Airports
Your departure & arrival, side by side.
The operational hub for fixed-wing scenic flights from the Las Vegas region. No major airline flies here — passengers connect from Harry Reid (LAS) by hotel transfer, taxi, or rideshare. We provide complimentary roundtrip transfers from select Strip and Downtown hotels.
One of the most dramatic airstrips in the Southwest — a single runway perched on a mesa about 500 feet above the town, ringed by red rock, so famous for its drop-off ends that pilots nickname it the “USS Sedona.” It's 1.7 nm southwest of downtown, and Airport Mesa is itself one of Sedona's noted vortex sites. Non-towered general-aviation field — no scheduled airline service.
What's In Sedona When You Land
A guide takes you to Sedona's red-rock icons — about six and a half hours on the ground.
Sedona's red rocks sit within Coconino National Forest, managed by the U.S. Forest Service; many trailheads and viewpoints require a Red Rock Pass to park (your guided ground tour handles access). Stay on marked trails, pack out what you bring in, and treat the vortex sites and viewpoints with care — this is heavily visited high-desert land at about 4,300–4,500 feet, so bring water and sun protection.
