How Much Does a Romantic Flight and Dinner Package Cost in Scottsdale?

By Volanti Scottsdale · Updated

A romantic flight and dinner package at Volanti Scottsdale includes a customized private helicopter tour for two around the Valley paired with dining at Scottsdale Airport, featuring a $150 credit towards food and beverage from the full scratch-kitchen menu. Package pricing varies based on helicopter sizing, flight time, and group add-ons, with larger aircraft accommodating parties of up to five.

Understanding Romantic Flight and Dining Packages in Scottsdale

Combining aerial sightseeing with runway-side dining offers a unique date night or celebration in the Phoenix and Scottsdale metro area. Located on the second floor of the Aviation Business Center at Scottsdale Airport (15000 N Airport Drive, Scottsdale, AZ 85260), Volanti positions guests directly above the runway with views of the McDowell Mountains.

Rather than taking a simple sightseeing flight, an integrated flight-and-dinner package pairs an airborne tour of the Valley with an elevated scratch dining experience. Guests check in directly at the restaurant, head down to the private runway for takeoff, and return to their reserved table for dinner, lunch, or weekend brunch.

Factors That Influence Your Flight and Dining Package Cost

When booking a private helicopter tour and dining package in Scottsdale, several operational factors shape the total package pricing and value:

1. Aircraft Capacity and Group Size

Standard romantic packages utilize private helicopters optimized for two passengers. For parties seeking to travel together—such as double dates or family celebrations—larger aircraft accommodating up to five guests can be arranged. For corporate gatherings or larger celebrations, multi-helicopter packages with customized flight plans are structured to handle high guest counts.

2. Dining and Beverage Selection

Every standard package incorporates a $150 credit towards food and beverage at Volanti. Guests can apply this credit across the complete chef-driven menu. Choose from fresh seafood like Bubbling Shrimp Scampi and Ahi Tuna Bowls, prime steaks, scratch pastas, or signature cocktails like the Hugo Spritz and Summer Solstice. If your party's order exceeds the included credit, the remaining balance is billed directly to your table.

3. Flight Scheduling and Timing

Flight availability spans lunch, weekend brunch, and dinner service. Sunset and evening flights allow guests to take in the Valley lights and dusk over the McDowell Mountains before settling into dinner. Guests are required to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled flight time to check in at the restaurant before proceeding down to the private runway.

4. Custom Flight Plans and Upgrades

Customized flight itineraries around the Phoenix and Scottsdale area can be tailored to specific routes. Additionally, guests can pair their flight experience with exclusive add-ons, such as joining the Volanti wine locker program for sommelier-curated cellar access during their meal.
