Summer's Hottest Flying Experiences for Youngsters
16 July 2025
The sun doesn't need to be the only thing high in the sky this summer - FlyDays is ready to whisk youngsters (and adventurous adults) skywards with an exciting selection of flying experiences.
Air flyer
Imagine this: you're jetting off on your summer holidays, enjoying the flight, and wondering what goes on in the cockpit - dreaming of being a pilot, no matter your age. If so, you're in luck – we offer a wide range of Flying Lessons, many available for children aged 14 and up.
You don't need any previous flying experience as these aerial adventures are for complete novices. After all, pilots had to start somewhere, and a flying lesson, which can last from 20 minutes to 90 minutes, is as good a place as any.
High flying history makers
Let the younger generation step back in time this summer and take to the skies with an awesome Vintage Flying experience.
These vintage planes provide an airborne adventure unlike any other by transporting thrill seekers, young and old, back to a golden era of flying. You'll live for the moment by returning to the past!
The names of the planes – Spitfire and Tiger Moth – conjure up images of times gone by and the sound of the engines alone will give you goosebumps.
Fly in the footsteps of aviation pioneers, safe in the knowledge that your pilot will have extensive RAF or commercial flying experience.
From Kent to Yorkshire, whizz through the skies in a magnificent flying machine.
Beautiful balloons
There can be few people, especially children, who don't get a sense of excitement and awe when they see a Hot Air Balloon floating majestically in the sky.
But why settle for watching when you can step inside the wicker basket and gently drift skywards, with the sound of the burner and nature keeping you company.
Youngsters from just seven years old can also enjoy many of our hot air balloon flights, when accompanied by an adult.
Surely, there are few other forms of transport that offer passengers such amazing breathtaking views, high above the beautiful British countryside.
Glowing gliders
Children from just 12 years old can experience a natural lift with one of our Gliding Lessons.
Gliding is the most serene way to take to the skies, combining excitement with tranquility.
There's also a real skill to flying a glider, searching for air currents to stay in the air, and there's a chance you might even be able to take the controls.
We have gilder flying locations across the country, so head skywards without an engine and enjoy the views close to where you live.
Choppers for children
Helicopter Rides offer a glamour and glitz that's hard matched by any other form of aviation.
Youngsters, from a mere six years old, can enjoy the ride of their life with a helicopter ride and hover high above some of the most well-known landmarks and landscapes in the UK.
It's an incredible adventure that will live long in their young memory.
Young fun
Age is no limit for many of our experiences, so youngsters of school age can taste the thrill of flying for the first time with Flydays as their pilot. Make this summer holiday a truly magical one, thousands of feet above the ground!
