| Flight type | Best for | What to expect | Check before booking |
|---|---|---|---|

| 12-mile pleasure flight | A fuller first experience with a little more time to settle into the view. | A more rounded flight experience for gift buyers who want more than the shortest buzz. | Route wording, voucher validity, weather policy and available dates. |
| 25-mile adventure flight | A bigger South Coast gift for passengers who want more scenery and a more memorable flight. | More flying time and stronger sightseeing value where the product is available from this venue. | That the chosen product is running from Brighton City Airport on the date you need. |
| Premium coastal or themed tour | Occasions where the route matters as much as the helicopter experience. | Selected routes may lean into coast, city, countryside or landmark views depending on availability. | Exact route, duration, venue, passenger limits and provider terms. |
