Flying Experience Days

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does a typical helicopter flying experience day include?

  You will receive a safety briefing before your flight begins. After the initial introduction and safety overview from your expert pilot, you will take to the skies for an unforgettable sightseeing journey. Many of our packages, such as the Helicopter Flying Choice, offer options for either one or two people and even include a glass of fizz to celebrate the occasion. You might also find combination packages that feature a 20-minute simulator session alongside the actual flight, often paired with a sparkling lunch to make the day out truly special.
• Is indoor skydiving a safe gift for complete beginners?

  Yes, indoor skydiving is incredibly safe and perfect for beginners. You do not need any previous experience to enjoy the thrill of freefall. With options like the iFLY 360 VR Indoor Skydiving for One, you are guided by expert instructors who are always on hand to ensure you feel secure and confident throughout the activity. The experience includes a full safety briefing, specialist flight gear, and personal coaching inside the wind tunnel. It is a fantastic way to experience the adrenaline of jumping out of a plane without having to step foot in one, making it a highly popular gift choice.
• Are UK flying experience days available all year round?

  Availability depends heavily on the specific type of flying experience. While indoor activities like wind tunnel skydiving and flight simulators operate regardless of the weather, outdoor airborne adventures are often seasonal. For example, some comprehensive helicopter flight and simulator packages are only available between April and October to ensure optimal flying conditions and clear sightseeing visibility. However, private simulator sessions, such as those located in the scenic Kent countryside, run throughout the whole year. Always check the specific details of your chosen voucher, as poor weather conditions may occasionally require outdoor flights to be rescheduled for safety reasons.
• What happens if the recipient is too scared to fly?

  You can opt for a flexible multi-choice experience voucher instead. If you are uncertain about their head for heights, purchasing a flexible gift is the safest route. A multi-choice voucher allows the recipient to browse a wide range of activities and select the one they feel most comfortable with. They might decide to swap a high-altitude helicopter tour for a grounded flight simulator session, or even exchange it entirely for something relaxing like a spa day. This flexibility guarantees that your loved one will still enjoy a memorable day out, completely removing the pressure and ensuring the gift is a resounding success.
• Can I book a romantic flying experience for two people?

  Yes, there are many flying experiences designed specifically for couples. Sharing the breathtaking views from the sky makes for a highly memorable and romantic date. You can easily find packages tailored for two passengers, allowing you to sit back, relax, and take in the stunning sightseeing vistas together. To make the occasion even more luxurious, many of these shared flights include delightful extras such as a sparkling lunch or a celebratory glass of fizz upon landing. Whether you are soaring over the countryside in a helicopter or enjoying a private simulator session, it is a brilliant way to celebrate an anniversary or special milestone.
