Flying Experiences

From taking control of an aircraft to jumping out of one, there are pursuits to suit all daredevils in our flying gift range.

Our flight experiences span across aerodromes and airports all over the country, too. The UK's landscape is all part of the fun-filled session, with some options offering tours of famous areas like the New Forest or London. A day out in the sky makes for an unforgettable present and is perfect for occasions like celebrating her birthday, or even commemorating someone's big 21st above the clouds.

Improve Your Skills with a Flying Lesson

Sometimes, being a passenger just doesn't cut it. That's where flying lessons come in. Wannabe pilots hone their skills with help from a fully qualified professional. Learn how to control a glider, helicopter or gyrocopter and see the country from a brand new perspective.

Helicopter Flights for All the Family

Bask in the glory of stunning sights with a helicopter flight. After taking off vertically, passengers are treated to a gentle glide over jaw-dropping sights. Hover over Central London and view the Houses of Parliament from a height or enjoy the idyllic scenery of Snowdonia with a 50-mile tour whilst learning about the local mythology.

Indoor and Outdoor Skydiving Experiences

No small amount of courage is required for skydiving, a pursuit so against our human nature but still so mind-blowing. Board a plane, climb to heights of up to 7,000 feet and override all instincts. Thrill-seekers jump out of a plane, freefalling through the sky at speeds of up to 120mph. It's an experience like no other.

Find other flying experiences such as breath-taking hot air balloon rides to aerobatic lessons. Or choose to keep your feet firmly on the ground with our flying simulator experiences, designed to give you a real-life taster of what it’s like to fly a plane without taking to the skies.

Fantastic Experience at Brighton City Airport

Very easy to book through Perryair at Brighton City Airport (Shoreham). The pilot and team were really friendly. The plane was such an amazing mechanical experience, I was allowed to take the controls while in the air, which was fantastic! Great instruction! Would recommend long trousers, trainers and tie your hair back if it’s long. ??

What an experience!

A great experience, the instructor was fantastic! Although it is a group activity (I was with two others) you still got the chance to rotate so each person sat in the front of the helicopter. I would seriously recommend this experience.

My son and my Mum both went on this 50 trip and enjoyed it immensely. The flight went over north London then over the city and followed the river ensuring views of all the famous sights. Highly recommended.

Wing Walking Experience for One

What a great experience!

I recently had a one to one helicopter challenge flight as a gift. What a great way to tick off a bucket list item. Although it was over in a flash, I feel like I achieved an awful lot. The pilot first took me through the controls, simple enough the way he explained it, and then we were off to put it into practice. Once in the air, I mirrored the pilots actions on the dual controls, and almost straight away, I was flying the helicopter. We did a loop around the airfield, then some hovering and manoeuvres, another loop and some more manoeuvres before coming back in to land. The staff were really friendly and made me feel welcome and relaxed especially the pilot. I would highly recommend!
