Booking with the operator or the seller

On the cards of Maverick and Papillon flights the first button goes to the operator’s own website, the second to the seller with its current price. The price on the card is the seller’s; Maverick and Papillon set their own, which can differ by date and departure time. The cancellation terms also differ: Maverick allows free cancellation up to 3 days before, whichever way you book. For Papillon it depends on where you book, and the deadline stands on each card.

FAQ

Which operator picks me up from my hotel?

Papillon and 5 Star on most of their Las Vegas tours, from selected hotels. Maverick does not; you go to its terminal on the Strip yourself.

Which operators fly at the South Rim?

Maverick and Papillon, both from Grand Canyon Airport in Tusayan. 5 Star has no South Rim flights on this site.

Is it cheaper to book directly with the operator?

Not necessarily. The card shows the seller’s current price; the operator’s price can differ by date and time, so compare both before you pay.
