FAQ
FAQ
Our scenic flights usually run between 8:30 – 16:30 with some exceptions. The only special flight is our sunset tour which has it’s own time-slot each day
Whilst there is no laws restricting us to a certain age; passenger safety and taking care of you, our customers is always our number one priority. This is why we have made the decision to set the minimum age at 3. Infants who are younger are still developing their neck muscles. In the event of turbulence which is minor nuisance to adults can lead to whiplash in infants. Adult sized headsets fit poorly over their heads which can also lead to hearing damage. The flight can also be sometimes frighting for them, which can take away from the experience. Best leave them at home with a baby sitter and enjoy the helicopter flight
There are no height restrictions
In our R44RII helicopter which most flights are based on the maximum seat limit is 136kg and maximum payload is around 270kg
Our Bell LongRanger seats up to 6 and doesn’t have a per seat limit
We are proud to have one of the best cancellation policies in the industry
All of our tours & scenics are private flights, and as such our cancellation and reschedule policies are a lot less restrictive than what you would find elsewhere. If you would like to reschedule your flight we ask that you do so with a 24 hour notice. Within this window our full refund policy applies
In case you can no longer make your flight on the day and would like to cancel your flight, a $100.00 cancellation fee gets deducted from the total refund amount
On the day if deem the conditions to no longer be safe to fly, Bekaa Air customers can either reschedule to any other day or receive a 100% refund. If the weather is marginal (aka safe to fly but degrades the experience, eg when it’s raining) we can offer full refund or to reschedule your flight to an other day
We try to strike a balance between the very competitive nature of flight operations, looking after our staff, as well as making sure that you have the most flexible policy that we can offer
About your flight
About your flight
Our helicopter tours depart from Archerfield Airport in Brisbane – Our exact location
Yes. Unlike a commercial jet, your phones do not need to be turned to airplane mode. Nor do we charge extra for this
This is what makes our approach unique. All of our tours, including the scenic flights – are private. This means that when you book your flight for two people, we will not sell the remaining seat to anyone else. Whilst this inadvertently means we sell fewer flights, the intimate nature of our tours is a signature touch of everything that we do
Please note that the prices are based off per flight basis. The per person pricing is based on full aircraft (3 passenger seats are fully occupied)
Yes. All of our aircraft are equipped with the best Noise cancelling headsets by Bose. They are crystal clear and cancel out a significant portion of the outside noise. Your pilot will also provide commentary and let you talk between each other
COVID 19 Update – We disinfect our headsets before each flight, and the microphone muffs have all been removed
