General Questions
WHAT IS THE MOST POPULAR TOUR? . . .
Our OC Triangle Tour is definitely the most popular! It captures favorite destinations like Huntington Beach down to Newport Harbor for a great taste of SoCal beach life.
IS THERE A WEIGHT LIMIT? . . .
To fly safely, each helicopter has a specific weight limit. Passenger weight verification may be required. Customers found to be over this seat limit will not be able to fly and will be charged the full cost of the flight. By booking a tour, you acknowledge that no passenger in your group is 300 lbs or more. In the event that any passenger is overweight by 15 lbs or more, there will be additional fees charged.
See our Terms and Conditions for complete details.
WHO CAN FLY? . . .
All ages will love tours! Anyone age 2+ must pay for a seat and ticket. (Carseats are allowed for little ones!) Anyone under 2 may sit on a lap and must wear headsets. (We encourage bringing your own noise-cancelling headphones.)
One to three passengers can enjoy the same tour depending on the helicopter you choose.
We ask that if you are feeling sick, please stay home!

Preparing For Your Flight
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? . . .
The helicopter is temperature controlled with AC. Dress comfortably!
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING? . . .
You will need a valid, government-issued photo ID or passport to enter the airfield.
CAN WE BRING CAMERAS? . . .
Definitely! You are more than welcome to take photos and videos during your tour. We can also take a shot of you in front of the helicopter before take-off.
Go Pros, miniature gimbals, and DSLR cameras are allowed as long as they aren’t too big and won’t interfere with the pilot! (Of course, your phones are absolutely allowed too.) If you’re looking to make more of a production (aka fly doors off and get professional aerial footage) look into one of our photo flights instead! For more information about photo flights, please contact us at info@flyrogue.com
About the helicopter
Will the doors stay on or off? . . .
Doors stay on during tours, however, for photo flights, doors are automatically removed for ideal photo quality.
Will there be seatbelts? . . .
Absolutely! Before your flight, your pilot will give you a safety run down, which includes seatbelts.
Who is our pilot? . . .
Each tour is piloted by one of our certified flight instructors. You’ll be in good hands. Our CFIs have years of experience. They will meet you outside the airfield to bring you to your helicopter.
Will there be a place to store purses and backpacks? . . .
While there is a small compartment under your seat, space is very limited! This is also included in the total allowable seat weight of 300 lbs. So travel light and only bring the absolute necessities.
