Fly like an early bird: our Christmas 2020 preview - News

Now, usually October is a bit early to be thinking about Christmas. But at FlyDays, we know that some of our customers like to be forward thinking and plan ahead! If this is you, itching at the gate to get started on your Christmas shopping, you’re in luck.

We’ll be launching our full Christmas campaign and deals for this year in the coming weeks, but for those of you who just can’t wait until then, we thought we’d give you a little ‘early bird’ preview today of some of the amazing new flying days and experiences that are sure to be gift wrapped hits this festive season...

  • Xmas iFLY Indoor Skydiving Experience for Two (£66.59, nationwide venues)

Do you and a loved one - partner, husband, wife, fiance - or even a friend fancy an adrenaline rush all without leaving the ground this Christmas? Our special Indoor Skydiving Experience for Two, available at iFLY centres in Milton Keynes, Manchester and Basingstoke, will let you do just that!

You’ll both get kitted up, and step inside a custom built flight chamber, where you’ll both get the feeling and G-force rush of a skydive recreated by the wind strengths inside the tunnel. You and your special someone will get two sessions each of simulated freefall, and will also get to take home a flight certificate to remember the day by.

This special voucher for two is currently available with a 33% discount too, so you can create magical indoor flying time at a great value price! This package is also available as a voucher for one, with a 20% discount, at £39.99.

  • Insight to Becoming an Aeroplane Pilot For Onei>(£115, Blackpool Airport)

Now this is a perfect flying day to surprise any junior aviation enthusiasts in your life this Yuletide. Whether it’s your son, daughter, niece or nephew, if they’re aged 12 and up, this unique experience day at our Blackpool Airport venue will offer a chance to see what it takes to become a fully qualified aeroplane pilot.

They’ll be welcomed on the day by a flight instructor, who are among some of the most experienced and trained pilots in the world, so you can be assured that you’re only with the very best.

This is one of the most comprehensive days around, as not only do you get a flying lesson in a 2-seater training aircraft, but refreshments are also included, as well as a tour of the hangarage, a presentation on Airline Pilot Career options, and discussion about the different sorts of aircraft you can pilot.

Best of all, the experience you gain here will also count towards that needed to obtain a Pilot’s Licence, so in many ways this is the Christmas gift that could pay into a promising future career in aviation. And with a 42% discount, it’s an offer that’ll make all their flying dreams come true!

  • Dambusters Helicopter Tour with Cream Tea For Two (£228, Buxton Airfield)

Taking off from our venue near Derbyshire is this Helicopter Ride for Two that’s sure to be a hit with World War II enthusiasts of any age, or even for grandparents or older relatives to enjoy.

You’ll both take flight by helicopter along the same route towards the Derwent Valley in the Peak District used by the 617 Squadron of the RAF, as training for their heroic Dambusters mission on Germany in May 1943.

It’s a ride that’s steeped in history, as you’ll also get to take in such sights as Chatsworth House, the Lady Bower reservoir and the Mam Tor rock formations along the way. Once back at base, the two of you will get to round off the day in style with a delicious cream tea.

And if you book now, there’s a very tidy offer of 17% off this package too. There is also a Dambusters Helicopter Tour with Cream Tea available for One to enjoy at a discounted price of £115.

Don’t forget to keep an eye on our Special Offers here on FlyDays to make sure you’re the early bird for all of our latest deals on great flying days and experiences for Christmas 2020!
