What are the requirements for my child to qualify as a lap child, meaning that he/she may fly along with me on my lap without being required to purchase a seat for the child?
Your child must be under 2 years of age, weighing 25lbs. or less. Parents are required to purchase a seat for the
child if both of these requirements are not met.
How does Maverick verify the age of a child to determine if he/she qualifies as a lap child?
Maverick follows the same policy as all of the commercial air carriers. This policy is regulated by the FAA and states
that parents must have proof of child’s age (i.e. government documentation) if they wish to take the child on a flight
as a lap child.
Does Maverick make any exceptions regarding their lap child policy?
As governed by the FAA, we are not permitted to make any exceptions to this policy.
What should I expect on my helicopter excursion?
Maverick prides itself in being the only "true" VIP-level helicopter excursion company in Las Vegas. Guests will be
treated to the plush interior of our ECO-Star helicopters, as well as personal narration by our highly qualified pilots. The helicopters are equipped with seven leather passenger seats plus one for the pilot. The seating arrangement is determined by the pilot based on the passengers' weights. Maverick’s VIP check-in lounges are located on the Strip, only minutes away from the hotels, and at the Henderson Executive Airport, just 15 minutes from the city.
How can I best capture all of the highlights of my helicopter adventure?
Maverick Helicopters offers a personalized, DVD recording of the flight. Our helicopters are equipped with an interior
and exterior camera, as well as an audio system, which captures the pilot’s narration and the interaction between guests
during the flight. This video keepsake is a great way to share your experience with friends and relive your excursion
for years to come. Photographs are also taken prior to departure and are available in a custom plaque. Photo and DVD
packages are available only on the same day of your trip and can be purchased before or after your flight.

Nights tour, $100 per person for airline, Grand Canyon South Rim and Grand Canyon tours departing from either Henderson

I did not receive my email confirmation?
Hotmail, America Online, Yahoo! and Google email addresses are very popular and as a result receive a large amount of
spam, or junk email. For this reason they have junk mail filters that in some cases only allow those email addresses
that are in your address book to arrive in your inbox. For this reason it is important that reservations@flymaverick.com
is added to your address book so that you receive any booking information or other important emails from us that relate
to any tour you have booked online with us. If you should not receive an email within 24 hours we suggest contacting
our reservation department at 1-888-261-4414.
When we land at the canyon will there be a restroom available?
If you’re going to be doing a tour that lands on our private bluff 3500 feet below the canyon rim we strongly suggest
that you use the restroom at our terminal before your tour since the only thing you will have available to you at the
canyon will be his and hers Cacti. If you’re doing a tour that lands at the top of Grand Canyon West or goes to the
Grand Canyon National Park (South Rim) you will have facilities available to you at each stop.
