Hollywood helicopter
In honor of Getaway Month, I'd like to present a getaway option that doesn't actually include leaving LA. It's called a helicopter. Perhaps you've seen one chasing a fugitive in the neighborhood? Well it just so happens that going up in a helicopter is thrilling and can give you views of LA that you had never imagined (kind of like you're flying through the Laguna Beach opening title, only LA). If you have the stomach for it, the good people over at Group 3 Aviation will gladly take you up in the air for some fresh perspectives.
Talk to Claudia about their helicopter tours to Hollywood, Downtown, the beaches, or do it all on the Grand Tour. They have deals if there are 3 or more and mention AT to get $10 off . Or charter a helicopter to go someplace specific--Palm Springs? Santa Barbara?
