Fly in style over an area near you in a luxury Bell Jet Helicopter. Wherever you are based in the UK, or wherever you find yourself exploring on a staycation, there’s bound to be a venue near you offering this unique sightseeing experience. So jump on board, get yourself strapped in and enjoy the views as your pilot offers commentary on local landmarks, areas of interest and even any unique, geological features you may be flying over from 1000ft. Not only is this a great way to sightsee over an unfamiliar area, but can also be a great addition to getting to know the area you live in that little bit more. You may have lived somewhere for years, but the truth is, you don’t know it that well if you haven’t seen it from the air. After this flight, you’ll be walking away with a new appreciation for the power of bird's eye views and how they can change your perception of an area once your feet are back on the ground. With stunning views from the air providing plentiful photo opportunities, and a pilot on hand to guide you through key locations you can sit back, relax and enjoy this 15 minute flight as you escape from the crowds below. If you’re liking the sound of this, don’t miss out and get booked onto a chopper today.
