Every Helicopter Route from Miami

Landing sites include airports and private terminals, hotel and resort pads, approved private property and, where the vessel and the operator permit it, a yacht deck. Every site needs permission and noise rules, obstacles and local restrictions decide what is possible on the day. Our flight planners confirm the exact pad before departure, brief an alternative and tell you clearly when a request cannot be approved. Where a pad is not available, we use the nearest suitable site and arrange ground transport for the last few minutes.

Yes. The Bahamas is an international crossing, so every passenger needs a valid passport and any visa their nationality requires and children need their own documents. We file the inbound and outbound paperwork, confirm the port of entry and send a document checklist once the booking is confirmed. Guidance by nationality is set out on our travel documents page and the charter desk reviews your party before the day so nothing is discovered at the pad.

Helicopters are weight and volume sensitive, so luggage is planned rather than assumed. Soft bags load far better than hard cases and the usable allowance depends on the aircraft, the passenger count, the fuel required and the conditions on the day. We agree your allowance before the flight and will tell you early if the plan needs adjusting. Golf clubs, dive gear and pushchairs can usually be carried when they are declared at booking.

Helicopter operations depend on visibility, cloud base and wind as well as the state of the landing site, so a departure can move even on a bright day. We watch the forecast from the day before, contact you as soon as a change looks likely and offer a revised time, an alternative site or a different aircraft. Where a trip cannot be flown safely it is rescheduled or refunded according to the terms of your charter agreement. Safety decisions rest with the operator and the pilot in command.

Often yes for Florida legs and sometimes for the Bahamas, but an international crossing needs customs notification and a confirmed port of entry and a private pad needs permission, which both set a practical limit on how late a booking can be made. Aircraft availability in season is the other constraint. The fastest route is to send the date, the two ends of the trip and your passenger count to the charter desk and a flight planner will tell you within the hour what is possible.

Yes, pets travel in the cabin with you. The one thing we ask is that you tell us at the enquiry, with the type of animal and its weight, so the seating and the load plan are right from the start.
