Manston International Airport Flying Experiences

Initially serving as an emergency landing strip from 1915 to 1916 for early aircraft grappling with the perilous cliffs of the Isle of Thanet, Manston's significance swiftly escalated. In response to mounting accidents, the Admiralty Aerodrome was established, swiftly followed by a training school to educate pilots in operating the innovative Handley Page Type O Bombers. By the close of 1916, Manston boasted not only the Operational War Flight Command but also the Handley Page Training school.

Helicopter Tours

Embarking on one of the diverse helicopter tours departing from Manston offers a plethora of captivating sights, regardless of the duration or distance. From the picturesque patchwork fields of Kent to the enchanting allure of the 'Garden of England,' it presents an ideal gift for a nature-loving parent or grandparent.

Soaring above the coastline, traversing charming market towns like Ramsgate and Margate, adds a touch of magic to any occasion or gift. Typically, these flights are conducted aboard the Bell Jet Ranger executive helicopter, renowned for its ample window space, ensuring optimal views of all the landmarks along the journey.

Led by expert Pilots who are well-versed in the area surrounding Manstone will be taken to the skies. Often pointing out local landmarks to you and at times even offering to take you to landmarks you specifically are looking forward to - you could even go to your house if you're local! We also offer a wonderful Helicopter Flying Lesson, led by an expert instructor, who will teach you the basics of helicopter flying. Sessions can even count towards a Private Pilots Licence (PPL)

Flying in the South East

Flying Experiences over the South East are a true joy. With miles of countryside, coastlines and landmarks, there is a plethora of things to see for every type of occasion or preference. And there are plenty of flight types to choose from, helicopter tours can introduce you to your favourite landmarks from a whole new perspective, for instance, fly from Brighton City Airport with a Helicopter Tour that will take you over the Beautiful Beach and city, the i360 and the South Downs. If you fancy a bit of flying first-hand, however, why not have a go at a Piper Flying Lesson from Blackbushe Airfield. Even have a go at open-cockpit Microlighting, we have expert instructors for all experiences so you'll be in safe hands throughout whatever your choice!

Terms and Conditions for Manston International Airport

Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.

Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).

In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.

If you have any more questions about Manston International Airport gift vouchers and experiences please contact us.
