Find Flights to Grand Canyon National Park, West Rim, and Antelope Canyon/Horseshoe Bend

Visiting the Grand Canyon doesn’t have to be a long-winded road trip through the desert like the movies would have you believe. Actually, the fastest way to visit the Grand Canyon is by airplane! You can’t book a major airline to reach the Grand Canyon, but flights to the Grand Canyon take off regularly via small plane tours from Las Vegas. In fact, you can fly from Vegas to the Grand Canyon and back in just a day’s time.

The Grand Canyon is symbolically divided into two major regions: the West Rim and the South Rim (officially titled the Grand Canyon National Park). Flights to both areas are available in Las Vegas, with plenty of sights along the way like Hoover Dam - and even more to do once you’ve landed.

You can fly from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon West in just a half an hour! There are several reasons that tourists from around the world travel to the Grand Canyon West Rim: it’s the home of the Skywalk Bridge and also the only region of the canyon where one can reach the bottom via helicopter. If you fly from Vegas to the Grand Canyon, you can include any or all of these one-in-a-lifetime activities with your flight.

The Skywalk Bridge is a world-famous piece of architecture that allows visitors to literally stand over the canyon floor atop five layers of glass. Across from the Skywalk is Eagle Point - a natural rock formation that resembles a colossal eagle taking flight.

For real adventurers, try a helicopter landing on the canyon floor, where a Colorado River boat tour awaits! You can even add a Skywalk entry to this tour for the ultimate West Rim experience.

The Grand Canyon National Park, the area most recognizable in photos and movies, is divided by the Colorado River into the North Rim and the South Rim. Flights to the Grand Canyon National Park offer passengers sights of both rims and the stunning greenery of the Kaibab National Forest surrounding them. After deplaning at the South Rim, there are plenty of sights to explore along the canyon’s edge, as well as dining, art galleries, and shopping before your return flight. The flight from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon National Park takes just over an hour each way.

Antelope Canyon is a world-recognized slot canyon featuring rippling sandstone walls where sun beams radiate down to the canyon floor. You can fly from Las Vegas to Antelope Canyon on a short airplane tour. During your flight, you’ll soar over the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and Glen Canyon Dam en route to Page, Arizona. You’ll even see the equally famous Horseshoe Bend from the sky! Horseshoe Bend is a section of the Colorado River that winds in a near-perfect circle, creating a monumental peninsula of land.

Upon landing in Page, you can actually tour the depths of Antelope Canyon and, if you’re lucky, see the otherworldly beams of sunlight that stretch all the way to its sandy floor. This tour also includes transportation to the edge of Horseshoe Bend, where you can see the unique river twist up close!
