WeatherIt is always best to call first before you come for your flight if the weather is not looking ideal. We will be able to make an accurate decision on the day if flights will proceed as per normal or if we will change routes or reschedule your flight. In the case where we cannot reschedule your flight and cannot fly you at all we will refund your money 100%.

What to WearIf you are serious about taking pictures, wear dark clothes as these will reflect less of the windows. The temperature inside the helicopter is very similar to that on the outside. The temperature will only drop by 1-2°C the higher we go and a jacket is not always needed.

Things to BringRemember to bring your camera and have a fresh set of batteries on hand with an extra memory card if you love taking pictures. Refreshments are available for purchase at the Front Desk.

Notes

You will need to arrive 30-45mins minutes prior to flight departure, at our offices in the V&A Waterfront. We are situated at the Heliport in the V&A Waterfront | With all our flights, we fly the route and not time. Our cruising speed is approx. 180 km/h and we do not “speed” or cut corners. All our pilots are trained to fly the same route and fly pass specific points of interest.

All helicopters have weight limitations, for either seat or combined weight and it is very important for us to know the weights of all passengers in the case where you might believe that you will be on the heavy side. Below is a quick breakdown of the weight limitation for the different type of helicopters that you can use to see if you are within the limitations.

*Helicopters are also space limited and we might restrict luggage/parcels on board. Pilot’s discretion is final.
*Maximum weight per seat in Robinson R44 is 120kg and/or an average of 90kg across the 3 seats or pilot’s discretion.
*Maximum weight per seat in Bell 206 Long Ranger is 140kg and/or an average of 75kg Across the 6 seats or pilot’s discretion.
*CTH reserves the right that guests could be charged an additional fee if CTH needs to upgrade guests to a bigger helicopter, due to weight limitations.
*Maximum Weight per seat in the Airbus H 130, H 120, H 125, AS 365 is 140kg and/or an average of 75kgs across the seats.
*We do offer a complimentary collection service within the CBD.
