Helicopter Floor Plans: Compare Cabin Layouts Before You Book

Helicopter floor plans help you see how a cabin is arranged before booking a private flight. Seating position, cabin width, headroom and space for luggage can all influence which helicopter suits your journey. OdinJets has brought its helicopter floor plans together on one dedicated page, making it easier to explore cabin layouts and compare models.

Explore the OdinJets helicopter floor plans, then open individual helicopter pages for more information about each model.

What does a helicopter floor plan show?

A helicopter floor plan is a diagram showing the cabin from above. It helps you understand the position and orientation of seats, the relationship between the cockpit and passenger cabin, and any baggage areas identified in the drawing.

Read the layout alongside the cabin dimensions. Length, width and height help put the drawing into perspective: a seating diagram shows where people sit, while the dimensions explain how much space surrounds them.

For a private helicopter transfer, those details can be more useful than a passenger count alone. Two cabins advertised for a similar number of people may have different seating arrangements, access and baggage capacity.

Our dedicated page brings together layouts for 18 helicopter models. These include the AgustaWestland AW109 and AW139; Bell 206 JetRanger, Bell 206 LongRanger, Bell 407, Bell 429 and Bell 222; Eurocopter EC135, EC155 and EC120 Colibri; Airbus AS350 and AS355 Écureuil and AS365 Dauphin; Sikorsky S-76 and S-92; MD 900 Explorer, MD 500 and SA341 Gazelle.

Use the collection to compare models you already know or explore alternatives suggested for your journey. Each listing links to its helicopter page, where you can review the available cabin and aircraft information.

The floor plans are a starting point for comparison. Interior fit, seating and facilities can vary between individual helicopters of the same model.

How to compare helicopter cabin layouts

1. Look beyond the number of seats

Start with the number of passengers, then look at where those passengers would sit. Check the direction of the seats, which passengers face each other and how the group is distributed through the cabin.

For colleagues travelling together, facing seats may be preferable. For a family, the priority may be keeping everyone close. Share those preferences when requesting your flight.

2. Check cabin width, length and height

Cabin dimensions help you judge the space available around the seats. Width matters for shoulder room, while the layout and length help explain the relationship between seating rows.

Height deserves a separate check. Many helicopter cabins require passengers to bend when entering or moving into position. If standing headroom matters, compare the stated cabin height with your own height and confirm the usable space on the helicopter offered. A cabin height measurement does not describe the clearance at every doorway or seating position.

3. Match the luggage to the helicopter

A cabin with enough seats does not automatically have room for every passenger’s luggage.

Share the number, dimensions and type of bags before booking. Mention hard suitcases, golf clubs, skis, prams and any other large items. Ask whether soft bags would make the proposed arrangement more practical.

If your helicopter transfer follows a private jet flight, check the luggage allowance for both sectors. Bags that fit comfortably in the jet may require a different arrangement for the helicopter.

4. Confirm the passenger capacity for your flight

Use the published seating information as a guide, then request confirmation for the actual helicopter and journey.

The cabin configuration, required crew, passenger and baggage load, fuel requirements and operating conditions can affect what is possible. Avoid planning a group around the highest advertised seat count before the operator has assessed the flight.

5. Consider access as well as seating

If a passenger has limited mobility or needs assistance boarding, raise this when enquiring. A floor plan helps explain the cabin arrangement, but it does not fully show door clearance, step height or the movement needed to reach a seat.

Current cabin photographs and advice about the specific helicopter can help answer these questions.

Choosing a cabin for an airport transfer or private journey

For an airport connection, consider how the helicopter fits into the whole itinerary. Passenger numbers, luggage and the onward car transfer should be planned together.

For a business flight, focus on seating arrangement and personal space. For a leisure transfer, consider the group’s preferences and any equipment travelling with them. On a longer helicopter sector, cabin comfort may carry more weight in the comparison.

The cabin is one part of the decision. The operator must also confirm that the helicopter and proposed landing sites suit the journey. A floor plan cannot establish landing permission, flight time or availability.

How much does a private helicopter charter cost?

A helicopter floor plan does not determine the price of a flight. A quote depends on the helicopter, route, positioning, landing arrangements, waiting time and availability.

Pricing varies according to aircraft, airport charges, positioning and seasonal demand.

To compare options, provide your departure and arrival points, travel date, preferred time, passenger count and luggage details. The proposed cabin and price can then be assessed against the same brief.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find helicopter floor plans?

OdinJets has a dedicated helicopter floor plans page, with layouts for models from Bell, Airbus, AgustaWestland, Sikorsky and MD, among others. Open a model’s page to review its cabin information.

Are helicopter seating plans the same for every helicopter of a model?

No. Seating and interior configuration can vary between individual helicopters. Confirm the layout of the helicopter proposed for your flight.

Can you stand up inside a private helicopter?

It depends on the helicopter, its cabin configuration and your height. Check the stated cabin height and ask about usable headroom on the specific helicopter offered.

Does a helicopter floor plan show luggage capacity?

Some drawings identify baggage areas, but the diagram alone does not confirm what can be carried. Share your luggage dimensions and ask for confirmation before booking.

Can I choose a helicopter based on its cabin layout?

You can use the layout to express a preference and narrow your options. The final choice must also suit the route, passenger load, luggage, landing sites and operating requirements.
