Scenic Airlines Pilots
Each plane is piloted by two highly-qualified pilots with the ATP rating.
After being picked up at your Las Vegas hotel, Scenic Airlines will take you on a 45-minute journey into the skies over the Southwest desert that will include views of Hoover Dam, Lake Mead, Grand Canyon and Colorado River. You'll see the beautiful waters of Lake Mead from your comfortable airline seat, and through the oversized window, you'll also be able to see a monstrous, man-made wonder: the Hoover Dam. Then, you will fly over the Western Grand Canyon and be awed by its massiveness and beauty from the air. Be sure to notice the mighty Colorado River, flowing through the canyon, cutting the gorge ever deeper!
After your narrated, aerial tour, you will be taken back to Las Vegas and dropped off at your hotel.
