Full description

Your Hollywood adventure starts at Burbank Airport, just minutes from Universal Studios and Warner Bros. Studios. After a short check-in, you put on a noise-cancelling headset, board the helicopter and lift off over the Hollywood Hills. The whole Los Angeles basin opens up below you.

Your pilot narrates the flight, pointing out major landmarks and lesser-known spots along the way. You’ll fly over Universal Studios Hollywood, then line up for one of the best views of the Hollywood Sign. Next come Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Hollywood Bowl and the winding roads of Mulholland Drive and Laurel Canyon.

The flight then heads over the exclusive estates of Beverly Hills and Bel Air, where many of the industry’s biggest stars live. Every seat has a clear view, so bring your camera or phone. The tour suits first-time flyers, couples, families and anyone who wants to see LA from a different angle. Reviewers especially recommend the sunset flights.
