More time in the air
With around 12-16 minutes of flight time, passengers have longer to settle in, enjoy the view and experience the aircraft properly.
25-Mile Helicopter Flight
Step up from a short buzz flight and enjoy a more substantial helicopter tour. The 25-mile flight gives passengers around 12-16 minutes in the air, with sweeping views over countryside, towns and selected city routes.
It is a strong choice for gift buyers who want something more memorable than a quick first-time flight, but still affordable, simple and easy to understand.
