Free changes or cancellation outside 24 hours before start. Within 24 hours, $50 fee applies. No-shows forfeit half of the amount paid. Full refund if the operator cancels due to weather, maintenance, or pilot availability changes.
No. This experience is on request until it is confirmed by a second email from Prestige Helicopters.
Wait in the lobby of the Signature Aviation building for your pilot to greet you. Do not go to the operator’s office, and you do not need to call when you arrive.
Plan to arrive 30 minutes early to help flights leave on time.

Mike Russell, the owner, and pilots like Carlos, Andy, Adrian, and Rich consistently show up as the heart of this operation. Reviewers repeatedly highlight how patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested these guys are, whether someone is taking their very first discovery flight or celebrating a milestone birthday. The flights themselves cover stunning Atlanta landmarks like Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Centennial Olympic Park, and the helicopters are described as clean, comfortable, and great for photos. Special occasions seem to be a real sweet spot here. Proposals, milestone birthdays, Valentine's Day celebrations, and anniversary experiences pop up throughout the reviews, with guests noting that the team puts real thought into making those moments feel personal and well-organized. One reviewer did mention the need to stay flexible with scheduling due to potential weather-related rescheduling, which is worth keeping in mind when planning around a specific date. That said, reviewers who did reschedule felt it was absolutely worth the wait.
Awesome and amazing experiance with Carlos and Andy thanks Prestige Helicopters ;-)
