Frequently Asked Questions |

What time do flights run?
Plaza Flights can be scheduled between 6:00pm and 10:00pm nightly beginning the evening of the Plaza Lighting Ceremony through the evening they turn the lights off near the middle of January.
Can I purchase a gift certificate?
Yes! Gift certificates can be purchased for your friends, family members, or even as a raffle or gift for a company or church party. We will print and send you the gift certificate and all the recipient has to do is call to schedule their Plaza Flight.
How far in advance should we schedule our flight?
With the growing popularity of Plaza Flights and the limited number of days and hours to provide them we highly recommend that you schedule a flight as soon as possible. Consider at least a week ahead of time, especially if you desire a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday evening.
How many people can come on the flight at one time?
The plane seats 4 people in total. One seat is taken by the pilot and a minimum of 2 additional passengers is required, with the option of adding a 3rd passenger as long as the weights and balances check-out properly.
Weight Limitation Example: A common scenario would be 2 adult passengers (180lbs each), and if there were a 3rd passenger they would need to weigh 100 lbs. or less.
How long does the flight last?
You and your friends will enjoy a flying experience that will last approximately 30 minutes.
What will we see?
Most folks rave about the beautiful view from the night's sky over the Country Club Plaza of Kansas City. When you arrive over the Plaza area you'll circle around it a few times providing a fantastic view and experience for all onboard. You'll also be able to see the downtown Kansas City, MO skyline.
What if the weather is bad?
Weather conditions are taken very seriously. If the pilot-in-command determines that current weather conditions will greatly delay or they decide to cancel your originally scheduled flight, we will reschedule your plaza flight at no charge.
Which airports can I depart from?
Our flights depart out of the beautiful Downtown Wheeler Airport that edges on the downtown skyline.
What time do we need to arrive at the airport?
You should arrive at the airport no later than 15 minutes prior to your scheduled flight departure.
How much does it cost?
Downtown Wheeler Airport (KMKC): $75.00 per passenger
When and how do we pay?
You will be contacted within 24 hours after submitting your reservation
online to confirm your reservation date and time, and to make payment.
Can I cancel or reschedule my reservation?
KcPlazaFlights.com has a 48 hour policy.
Cancellation: You must contact us no less than 48 hours prior
to your scheduled departure time in order to cancel your confirmed flight.
Rescheduling: Please contact us 48 hours prior to your scheduled flight
to reschedule.
We understand that many people are scheduling dinner reservations and other events that need to coordinate with your flight. We will give it our very best efforts to accomodate a desired change, but with the popularity of these flights can't guarantee availability.
Can we take photos and videos?
You are welcome to bring cameras and video recorders.
Video recorders produce the best results during night flight. Still photo cameras don't usually do a very good job at night while we are moving at 110 knots, pictures commonly come out blurry.
The camera flash does nothing for pictures at night being so far away from the subject, although they do a great job of blinding the pilot and passengers temporarily. :-)
Please, NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY.
Will I get sick?
If we had to bet on someone getting sick we would say "NO WAY". Night flights most commonly provide a very smooth ride. The winds are usually calm and temperature cool, perfect for a comfortable evening in the sky.
Who is KC Plaza Flights?
KC Plaza Flights is a centralized Plaza Flight reservation request system for the Kansas City area. We have done all the research around the KC Metro of flight providers that have agreed to provide a great flight experience. We do not directly provide the flight experience, we leave that to the
