What You'll Get
From catapulting flaming soldiers over castle walls to sitting on active geysers, humans have long been fixated on flying through the air. Absorb the wonderment of flight with today’s Groupon: for $299, you get a plaza-lights helicopter tour for three and a champagne reception from KC Copters (a $750 value).
Founded by local TV news chopper reporter Johnny Rowlands, KC Copters shepherds air-traveling trios high above the nocturnal Kansas City skyline. FAA-authorized plaza-lights tours commence at Downtown Airport's Signature Flight Support, where guests partake in a private champagne reception as decadent as a mink outfitted in chocolate-covered $100 bills. Next, gravity-defying groups whisk into the night sky for 20-minute sojourns, which delight passengers with sweeping views of the glistening plaza-lights display and the holiday animations at the Marriott Hotel. Voyagers can also fix sights on the mayoral yuletide conifer as the aerial steed makes a pass over the Crown Center complex or rebel against the holiday spirit by hurling grinch-like threats at passing birds.
