ALG Aviation

This was a great treat!!! Everything worked out better than planned. Cameron was our pilot. The service was professional and efficient and the weather was beautiful. I will totally do this again!

My family got me the 45minute hands on flying experience for a holiday present. I had been telling them how much I wanted to try flying. Well it was an amazing experience that I truly enjoyed. Our pilot Michael was pleasant and calm. Answered all are question prior and during flight. I actually had quite a bit of hands on experience. I did almost everything except land the plane. Truly awesome. Now I must admit I did have some aviation knowledge since some 40 years ago I did pass the FAA written exam but never got around to taking flying lesson. If my family thinks this cured me of wanting to fly the answer is no. I want more. I highly recommended this to anyone who ever thought of trying fly. Even you just want to go flying for sight seeing it is truly a wonderful experience.

This was SUCH a fun experience. Bought a groupon as a birthday gift, and upgraded to the 30 min flight. Z answers and returns calls/​emails himself– pretty unusual for a business owner, and he does it all very professionally and kindly. He answered all my questions, and was very flexible. I was so surprised that he even allowed me to schedule something last-​minute for a weekend day! It was fantastic.
A totally great experience, from takeoff to landing. The little airport is adorable and has coffee and popcorn, too.
The only thing that could have made this better would be if we had the option to plug in headphones and listen to what they were saying to each other– not sure if there’s maybe a legal reason passengers can’t do that, but it would have been really neat to have that option!
Will definitely recommend this for other friends, and hopefully go back again soon. I really appreciated the swift responses from Z, and how patiently he answered all my questions!

I had a great experience. Took my girlfriend here for our anniversary. She was left speechless. Great customer service provided by both Z, and his co-​pilot. Thanks again, fellas.

The ALG plane tour over LA and the Santa Monica pier is an amazing experience, with beautiful sights and a flight that gives off an exhilarating feeling only found in riding a small plane. Not only was the plane ride great, the owner and pilot Zohrab was very helpful even during the process before the flight. He personally answered any phone calls we made when we had questions and even helped us with directions to the place. We would highly recommend ALG to anyone interested in a fun experience serviced by kind and accommodating people.

The best customer service I have ever experienced, a fantastic flight, and a great experience overall. Highly recommend ALG for anyone looking for a scenic tour of Hollywood or DTLA, they also do flights over Malibu, but we went in the morning so it was still a bit misty, so the trip over Hollywood and DTLA was better. They let you choose which route you’d prefer to take the day of, which I thought was great since it was still misty over Malibu. I planned this trip a few days in advance for my boyfriend’s birthday. They were extremely responsive, answering emails late into the evening. The lobby you wait in while they prep the plane is very classy and you meet the owner and pilot before you take off. My boyfriend was very impressed. Great present for a new perspective on life!

What a great trip!!! This is as good as it gets! The service was excellent. You can pick the amenities that you want. Plus the plane is my favorite color, red! For someone who just moved her a few years ago, this is a neat way to see downtown LA. You definitely get your moneys worth.

I wanted to take my niece on a tour of LA — booking a flight with Zohrab was the best decision ever! He was so kind and very hospitable. My niece and I had a fabulous time — a family moment to remember forever.

To see the beauty of Downtown Los Angeles from up above was breathtaking. It was definitely an awesome experience and I’ve already recommended it to a few of my friends and family right after our tour. Thank you Mr. Z!

Outstanding experience!!! My husband felt very special when I told him that I had booked a private airplane flight for us, everything went smooth. Mr. pilot Z was very professional, informative, kind and helpful. we flew over Malibu the sky was clear and the view perfect. we highly recommended. THANK YOU MR. Z.

We got the 30 minute air tour with champagne and I must say it was quite an amazing experience. We flew over Santa Monica and went around the Santa Monica Pier before flying over and through Beverly Hills. The views were amazing and made us feel really special to be able to experience Santa Monica like that.
From start to finish it was a luxury experience, everyone was very nice, we felt very safe but most of all we had a great time. A great way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or other special event. In our case it was our anniversary and my wife could not be happier.
Highly recommended!

Never gave this guy a review it’s been a while. Me and my fiancé went for valentines day if I’m not mistaken a year ago. From the start the pilot was awesome. Friendly and helpful with info on locations and preferences. Awesome flight!

My boyfriend and I did a 8:30pm flight over LA yesterday and it was amazing! Both Rose and Zohrab were so sweet! We got there a little early so they took us early. We had such a great time! I just wish I would have brought a real camera rather then my cell phone to capture the amazing views we saw. We will have to do it again sometime! Highly recommend!

Amazing! Booked a 30 minute tour over downtown LA, and it was breathtaking. What made the experience even better was the staff. Rose and Z are super sweet! Would definitely recommend ALG aviation to anyone!

The only way to see SoCal!!! Simon our pilot was amazing and experienced. From the time we arrived we were treated like family. The facility was clean and the staff were very friendly. The tour itself was nothing short of amazing. It was our first time in a helicopter and I was surprised at how comfortable I was. From the homes to the shoreline to the Hollywood sign this was the best way to see LA hands down. We will definetly be a return customer. Awesome!!!

My boyfriend and I had an incredible time flying over the Malibu coast with Z! He is a wonderful pilot and pointed out different neighborhoods as we flew over them. The flight itself was stunning and I felt very comfortable and safe in the plane with Z. I only wish that the flight over the coast itself was longer but other than that I wouldn’t change a thing. The champagne was definitely a nice touch! I knew that this was a great company when I called last minute on Saturday morning hoping that there was an opening. I bought a groupon last year and it was close to expiring! As luck would have it, someone cancelled and an 11:15 am spot was open. I’m so glad it worked out because it was truly an incredible experience.

I purchased a Groupon for my boyfriends birthday. sadly his birthday was the same weekend as valentines day so of course with my luck, they weren’t taking any vouchers. I believe they mainly fly Friday, Saturdays and Sunday but I could be wrong because those were the only days I was able to choose from. After several emails about what days my groupon was allowed to be booked on, I finally landed an evening. Our booking was scheduled at 6:15 and we were the last group for the night so we didn’t feel rushed.
Z was helpful, the place was easy peasy to find, the experience was soooo amazing. I’ve been living in the valley my whole life so to see it at a whole new degree was a beaut! You really get to see how clogged the 405 and 101 gets. Otherwise, there were beverages available in the waiting lobby. You sign off paperwork regarding safety and responsibility etc. if you have a group on there’s an additional $ 60 charge for taxes. You can also tip through there which is what I did :)

This was the most amazing experience ever!!! We took the 30 minute LA tour and were given so much information while taking the tour. The pilot Zohrab was amazing I have no word to say the only thing I can say is your gna love it thank u to ALG AVIATION for the great service. Definitely recommending this place to everyone!

All I can say is «WOW»!
My girlfriend and I got this from Groupon for a killer price and we were blown away with how cool it was.
The whole experience was awesome, from the time we got there, throughout the flight, and then back. The pilot, Z, was a really nice guy and made us feel welcome.
The plane is super small but that added to the experience and made it event more awesome. Z’s a great pilot and the take off and landing were incredibly smooth, as was the rest of the ride despite some turbulence.
We picked the Downtown LA tour with champagne and it was better then we could have imagined. Z was great and pointed out some land marks along the way but since we’re locals to the area he kind of just let us do our thing.
We got closer to the Downtown skyline then we expected. Obviously not as close as a helicopter, but the plane flies pretty low and he circled around a couple of times and we got tons of breathtaking views of downtown, Hollywood, and the Hollywood Sign.
All in all, this was a totally awesome experience that my girlfriend and I both enjoyed! We thought this was going to be just a one time thing but we liked it so much, we’re considering doing it on one of the other trips!
Highly recommended! If you’re even considering it — do it. It’s well worth it!

My boyfriend had mentioned interest in taking flying lessons, so for his birthday I thought the Discovery Flight with ALG Aviation would be a great gift. Rose and Z at ALG aviation were very friendly and very professional. Before our flight, Z asked my bf how much actual flying he was interested in doing so we could decide on the best flying route. Z was very thorough and explained what to expect on our flight before we even stepped outside to see the plane. Once outside, he explained in detail the plane’s parts, the wings, flaps, rudder, etc so we could have a complete understanding of how it all works. The plane was a red and white piper plane in clean and great condition. My bf and Z sat up front and I sat in the back. We had such a great time! My bf got to fly the plane and Z coached him through various maneuvers. What an adrenaline rush! We flew over Pepperdine, the Palisades, Malibu, Santa Monica Mountains and they views were incredible!
My bf and I were so giddy and filled with excitement after the flight we couldn’t stop talking about it for the rest of the day. Thank you Z and Rose for an unforgettable experience and for a great birthday present for my bf!
PS: don’t forget to tip! :)
