Glacier Express Local’s Special — A private, locals-only 30‑minute flight over Squamish.
From the low ridge-lines of the Sea To Sky Corridor to the open sky above Squamish, the Glacier Express Local’s Special is a short, private flight designed for residents who want a bird’s‑eye rendezvous with the landscape they know on foot and by road. The operator, Sea to Sky Air, runs this locals-only experience as an intimate, guided circuit that keeps the party small and the views nearly uninterrupted.

Flight Highlights
Intimate, private flights—everyone gets a window
Sea to Sky Air keeps the Glacier Express deliberately small: aircraft accommodate up to three passengers so the flight stays intimate and each person has a window for the nearly 360° views.
A cabin that behaves like a car
The aircraft are set up for comfort: ventilation and heating are controllable, making the short, guided circuit easy to enjoy in most conditions; dress for the season and bring sunglasses.
Welcoming to all ages
All ages can participate; children up to two years old are treated as infants and must sit on a guardian’s lap, while children older than two require their own seat in the aircraft.
