Too fat to fly - Helicopter tours in Alaska
Are there weight limits for individuals that go on helicopter tours? Is there a point at which people are turned away if they weight too much or are forced into buying two tickets if they exceed the weight limit?

Just back from a fabulous Alaskan cruise...Yes, there is a 250 lb weight limit. There was a scale everyone had to get on (a source of great mirth for all). If you are over 250 (5 lbs leeway), you must (by law) pay 50% higher. I say, what the heck, go for it! It's worth every penny.
If you book on your own, you'll save $50. We used Coastal Helicopters in Juneau. They came highly recommended, and rightfully so! The highlight of our cruise. If I had it to do over, I would have taken the longer (2 hour) excursion.
Hope this helps!

Lyn, maybe you could use this trip as an incentive to eat healthier, if it is a bit of time away. I'm already trying to lose weight for a flight to Hawaii in a few months because I know on the shorter legs of my trip, my butt, at it's current size, will be a squeeze so I'm trying to do something positive about it rather than just worry!
