FAQs About Our Aircraft:
You may request a window seat for your child on an airplane tour; however, children are not permitted to sit by the door or emergency exit. On helicopter tours, children can sit in the middle front seat.
For helicopter tours, your party can request 1-3 front seats depending on the aircraft type. For airplane tours aboard a Twin Otter, there are 14 window seats that you can request. The Cessna Caravan airplane only has one seat per row, so all seats are window seats.
You are welcome to request as many window seats as your party desires, but be advised that we cannot guarantee seat placement until all passengers have been weighed and the balance of the aircraft has been determined.
We cannot guarantee any passenger a specific seat due to safety regulations. All passengers are welcome to request a front or window seat, but weight distribution is vital to the balance of the aircraft, and all passengers will be weighed before their flight to determine the best seating arrangement.
