Helicopter Rides in the East Midlands

Why not see the East Midlands from a unique perspective in a helicopter? Because a helicopter can hover, it can give its occupants unrivalled views, without moving as much as an aeroplane needs to.

However, helicopters are also capable of fast speeds and soon you could be zooming at over 120mph across Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire or the surrounding areas. A helicopter flight experience provides a full-on adrenaline rush but in all the excitement allows the passenger time to also enjoy the stunning views.

And with your on-board pilot acting as your tour guide on many of our Helicopter Ride Experiences, you can be sure you won't miss a single sight or landmark on offer. With memories to last a lifetime, and a great way to explore an area, these rides are a must for your itinerary.

Take a Flying Lesson in the East Midlands

We love aeroplanes here and made sure that the East Midlands is well catered for with our range of Aeroplane Flying Lessons and independent flying schools across the region.

Our 30 and 60 Minute Flight Lessons are your opportunity to see what it's like being a pilot, taking the controls and flying a plane for the first time, and best of all, your experience here will also count towards that needed to obtain a Private Pilot's Licence from the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority).

Better still are our Aeroplane Pilot Land Away packages, a unique aeroplane day which allows you to be pilot, navigator and observer all on the same flight. We also offer this for groups of up to three to enjoy, so it's a day up in the air you and your friends or family can enjoy together.

With the chance to enjoy scenic views and add some flying skills to your repertoire, a flying lesson in an array of light aircrafts and microlights is the perfect activity for those who have always been curious about the skies or want to try something new!

Explore history in a Vintage Flying Experience in the East Midlands

Get close to some of Britain’s rich aviation history with flights in Vintage planes such as the 1930s Tiger Moth! There’s no better way to get a flavour for the past than a Vintage Flying Experience that puts you in the front seat of history.

With the chance to soar over the East Midlands and enjoy the sights and smells of the 1930s this would be the perfect experience for a history lover or anyone who wants a unique way to explore this part of the country.

The Tiger Moth is an iconic former RAF World War 2 plane used for training pilots in the lead up to the Battle of Britain, and are known for their bright yellow exterior and being a joy to ride in through the skies.

Get ready for a Gliding Experience in the East Midlands

For those who are adventure lovers at heart, and are always seeking out the next thrilling experience, you’ll want to get yourself booked in for a Gliding Experience across the East Midlands.

Paired with an expert instructor who will probably bust some impressive moves in the skies, these sessions in Leicestershire or Peterborough will provide you with a unique way to explore the towns and cities surrounding the region as it gets your heart pumping and stomach lurching as you soar through the skies. Excitement, adrenaline, adventure and incredible views are all guaranteed with a Gliding Experience.

Terms and Conditions for Flying Experiences in the East Midlands

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.
