New Orleans Helicopter Birthday Flights
Birthday Flights
There are countless ways to celebrate a birthday in the friendly and vibrant city of New Orleans. Whether it’s your birthday, a friend’s birthday, or a family member’s birthday, it’s never too early to start planning a memorable celebration. Perhaps you’ll consider booking an overnight stay in a hotel, indulging in a unique culinary experience at a revered local restaurant, shopping at eclectic shops along some of the city’s most iconic streets, or attending a live musical performance. All of these New Orleans birthday ideas sound fantastic, but if you want to add some excitement and adventure to your itinerary, don’t just keep your feet on the ground—venture skyward with Heli-Co for a New Orleans birthday celebration you won’t soon forget!
A Celebration to Remember
Maybe you’ve been to New Orleans before or you’re just visiting. Either way, you’re likely well aware that New Orleans—also known as NOLA—has so much to offer both locals and tourists. The food is superb, the music scene is alive and well, the festivals are aplenty, the people are welcoming, and the sights around every corner make this a city that never fails to captivate all five of your senses. Enjoying New Orleans at ground level is one thing, but a New Orleans birthday celebration in the sky is an entirely different experience. The aerial views of the city are extraordinary from morning to night.
A helicopter flight is a New Orleans birthday gift that you can’t find in any store. It’s an experience through and through—a stellar way to celebrate not only the special day, but also the year ahead with the hope that, much like a helicopter flight, it will be full of joy, adventure, and the thrill that comes with reaching new heights.
Our New Orleans birthday flights are perfect for anyone who wants to “elevate” their birthday celebration by exploring the city from 1,000 feet above the ground. Whether you or your loved one is turning 5, 28, 40, or 65, we love sharing in milestone birthdays and all birthdays in between!

Of course, our team members will extend their heartfelt birthday wishes and do everything they can to make the flight as special as the person celebrating their birthday with us.
Here are the two birthday packages from which to choose:
Birthday Package Option #1:
15-Mile City Tour ($149 per person)
This 15-mile daytime flight lasts approximately seven to nine minutes. During your time in the sky, our pilot will fly you over the French Quarter and Jackson Square. The French Quarter is the oldest and most famous neighborhood in New Orleans. Also known as the Vieux Carré, it’s known for its Bohemian charm, old-world architecture, and lively streets (including Bourbon Street). Located in the French Quarter is Jackson Square, which has been designated a National Historic Landmark.
The 2.5-acre space is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, and it features a bronze statue of former president Andrew Jackson in the center. Viewing the French Quarter and Jackson Square during the daytime from your seat in our helicopter will be an unparalleled experience. Your daytime flight will provide optimal lighting conditions, allowing you to appreciate the stunning views below as the natural light brightens the landscapes, cityscapes, and iconic landmarks that define NOLA.
Birthday Package Option #2:
18-Mile City Night Lights Tour ($179 per person)
This 18-mile nighttime flight lasts approximately ten minutes. Our pilot will follow the same route as mentioned above, taking you over the French Quarter, Jackson Square, the Central Business District, City Park, and Canal Street after the sun has set. The ambiance created by the twinkling lights below will leave you in awe; seeing the city illuminated from above is spectacular. The entire city glistens and shines, creating an enchanting display that speaks to the city’s nighttime allure.
Add-On Romance Package ($89)
Are you celebrating your partner’s birthday? If so, and you want to add some romance to your flight, we’re happy to share that both of our birthday packages allow you to add on a Romance Package. The Romance Package includes a box of locally crafted chocolates, Heli-Co champagne flutes, and a complimentary bottle of champagne. This is the perfect way for you to not only say “Happy birthday!” but also “I love you!”
