Best Flying Adventures to Enjoy with Your Bestie This Friends Day
05 June 2025
A best friend is someone who sticks by you through thick and thin, an emotional support in good times and bad.
Best Friends Day on June 8th each year celebrates these close-to-home heroes. It's also the perfect opportunity to show your gratitude by giving them an experience they'll truly treasure, possibly one that can be shared with them.
Taking to the skies will give a lift to the person giving the gift, and also to the recipient, so we've picked four perfect flying experiences for your best bud.
A flying lesson is both educational and enjoyable, ticking two boxes at the same time.
It's also a very convenient gift to give as lessons are available at airfields across the UK, ranging from Surrey to Scotland.
Most airfields also allow spectators, so it's a wonderful occasion for a group of friends to enjoy together.
Book a flying lesson for your best friend and they'll thank you for years to come, perhaps even take you up as a passenger if they've pursued a career as a professional pilot.
These 'pocket-sized aircraft' pack a punch well above their weight!
Microlighting is also available across the country, with airfields as far afield as Wiltshire and Northumberland.
There's a good chance it will be in an open cockpit flex-wing microlight. Being exposed to the elements will take the experience, literally, to another level for your friend.
There's also a good chance they'll be able to take the controls of the microlight for some of the flight, actually tasting the sensation of flying an aircraft. It will leave a magical memory that they can recount with you in the years ahead.
Let your friend relax in the skies as the professional pilot does all the hard work!
Pleasure flights are the ideal way to see the world from a whole new perspective and toast your friendship.
They fly over a wide variety of settings including breathtaking natural landscapes, majestic coastlines, iconic football grounds and bustling cities.
There's also a good selection of aircraft to fly in, such as helicopters, small planes, gliders and gyrocopters.
Flying in a helicopter is one of the most glamorous ways to take to the skies, so treat your best friend to a taste of the high-life with experiences across the UK.
Once again, you'll be spoilt for choice as to where to fly and how long to fly for. There's also the chance to make it extra special by adding some optional extras such as cream tea, chocolate or some fizz.
The breadth of locations to hover over will also amaze, ranging from awesome coastlines, busy cities, rolling countryside and stunning sports stadiums.
Fly with Flydays, fly with friends
Make it a friendly affair with Flydays. Whatever the experience, a warm welcome awaits your friend as they embark on an experience of a lifetime!
