Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon South Rim in 45 Minutes by Airplane

If you can be at Grand Canyon South Rim from Las Vegas in 45 minutes

, why would you be satisfied a 5.5 hour tour bus ride?

Papillon offers the flight daily for under $200 per person on its website (nearly 40 percent off the retail price.). The package includes hotel pick up and drop off, a light meal, and a luxury bus transfer to the Grand Canyon Village.

How is it possible to make this superb air package even better? The answer is YES. How? Add a thrilling helicopter ride and you just locked down an adventure that travelers are calling the Canyon's "super-trip." The helicopter is a 30-minute ride that soars across the pine-covered South Rim and into the Canyon's famous Dragoon Corridor, which is the widest, deepest part of the Canyon.

Too many times I've read posts on popular travel forums like Trip Advisor and Virtual Tourist wherein visitors drop the South Rim because they don't want to endure the bus trip. Don't. Take the airplane tour and do the 270-mile trek in under and hour. It's the trip of a lifetime that lets you experience all the Canyon has to offer while returning you to Vegas in the late afternoon.

Papillon uses a fleet of Vistaliner fixed-wing aircraft for this trip. Built specifically for sightseeing, these planes feature huge windows, climate-controlled cabins, and oversized seats. Trip narratives are pre-recorded in multiple languages and can be heard via headset. Turbine engines power these flights instead of rotor ones so you get a smooth, quiet flight.

Papillon's airplane and helicopter pilots are some of the best in the business. Each pilot must pass the company's rigorous entrance exam and be re-certified annually. Two pilots - a Captain and a First Officer - are on board for each airplane tour (helicopters are flown by one.) and know the Grand Canyon airspace better than any other tour company flying it.

From Las Vegas, the airplane lands at Grand Canyon Airport in Tusayan, AZ, a small town minutes away from the South Rim's main entrance. There, you'll transfer to a luxury motor coach charter and be chauffeured to the most famous lookout points in the Park before heading to Bright Angel Lodge in Grand Canyon Village for souvenirs and snacks.

Back at the airport, you will board your plane back to Las Vegas or transfer to a helicopter for your flight over the South Rim. This heli tour is spectacular giving you incredible views of the Rim's unique landscape and the Canyon itself with its sheer cliffs, red spires, and the North Rim. Most people say the helicopter tour gives their ground tour extra significance.

Taking an airplane trip like Papillon's Grand Canyon Deluxe to the South Rim is the quickest way to enjoy the most famous part of the Canyon. No longer do you have to ride a bus for five hours - the plane can get you there in 45 minutes, making it the perfect alternative for people with limited time and who want to comfortably visit the South Rim in less than a day. Upgrading to include a helicopter tour makes an already great trip even better, as the helicopter gives you a bird's eye view of what you've explored by foot. If you want to really "see" the South Rim, book a Grand Canyon airplane tour by Papillon
