    Flying Additional Information

    UK Flying Experiences

    Our flying experiences make for perfect, unusual gifts for your more adventurous loved ones. We offer a superb and varied range of airborne adventures, whether your loved ones are confirmed daredevils, or prefer something a little more serene.

    For fans of extreme thrills and sky-high sports, we have some really great options. Choose a tandem skydive or even a full skydiving course from one of our multiple UK Skydiving locations. We also offer paragliding lessons and hang gliding experiences and for something less hands on, try a helicopter tour

    For those whose dream is to fly a plane or fly a helicopter, we offer flying lessons from many different flying schools throughout the UK. There a number of different aircraft in which they can enjoy a flying lesson – we have Cessna flying lessons, microlight flying lessons, gliding lessons, and truly vintage tiger moth flying lessons! If it is the thrill of the chopper and the feeling of vertical take-off that they want, choose a helicopter flying lesson, or a totally unique gyrocopter experience in Silverstone! 

    Of course, some people prefer to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. For these people, we can recommend a helicopter tour or flying tour of their local area, so that they can view their home town from a totally new perspective! For the ultimate romantic gift, a champagne hot air balloon ride is as dreamy as it comes.

    No matter what kind of adventure they prefer, you can send them to Cloud 9 with one of our wonderful flying experiences.

    FAQ

    How many flying experience days gift voucher options do you have?

    We have over 200 flying experience days. 

    Where is the best microlight flying lesson?

    All our microlight providers are qualified and highly experienced flight schools! The most popular locations for microlight flying lessons are Kent, East Yorkshire, and Swindon, but there are centres all over the country.

    Where can I go indoor wind tunnel skydiving?

    There are currently four locations for indoor skydiving, in Manchester, Birmingham, Milton Keynes and Basingstoke.

    Where can I learn to fly a helicopter?

    Some of the most popular locations for helicopter lessons are in Kent, Manchester and Glamorgan, but there are options all over the country to choose from. By using the search filters or the category map, you can find the perfect helicopter experience for you!

    Is indoor skydiving safe?

    Very! Instructors are in the wind tunnel with you at all times, and teach you hand signals prior to the experience to ensure you know how to indicate how you're feeling.

    Can I propose to my girlfriend on a hot air balloon?

    Of course! We'd advise booking a private experience for such a special moment, and to inform the flight company upon booking what your intentions are.

    Do helicopter tours have a minimum age restriction?

    Generally not, however there will be minimum height restrictions as booster seats are not allowed. Please remember children must have their own seat and cannot sit on the lap of an adult.

    Are there helicopter sightseeing tours over London?

    To find experiences in a specific location, click the Map icon at the top of the page to view all packages across the UK. Remember, the location will show where the helicopter takes off from, so the flight path may take you somewhere else.

    Should I book a helicopter or light aircraft flying lesson?

    Completely up to you! They're very different experiences, but both will teach you flying techniques, controls, and safety procedures. The views are breath-taking whatever you choose.

    Do I need a drivers' licence to fly a plane?

    No, participants do not require a drivers' licence to book flying lessons.

    Can I buy a gift voucher for light aircraft flying lessons?

    Yes of course, all our experiences are sold as gift vouchers valid for 12 months, so the recipient can choose a date at their convenience.
