There is something about summer that makes you want to get out and see more of the world. Beaches are busier, countryside walks are longer, and every scenic viewpoint suddenly has a queue. Luckily, there is a much better way to enjoy Britain's best landscapes. Pleasure Flights give you the chance to swap traffic jams for blue skies, with unforgettable views that simply are not possible from the ground.

Whether you fancy soaring above dramatic cliffs, gliding peacefully over rolling countryside or taking in an island from a completely different perspective, there are plenty of incredible experiences to choose from. Here are some of our favourite scenic flights for making the most of the summer months.

Exclusive Isle Of Wight Helicopter Flight For Up To 3 People

If there is one place that deserves to be seen from above, it is the Isle of Wight. Famous for its beautiful coastline, golden beaches and picture perfect countryside, it becomes even more impressive when viewed from the cockpit of a helicopter.

This exclusive experience gives your group of up to three people the helicopter all to yourselves, making it feel far more personal than a standard sightseeing flight. Taking off from Bournemouth Airport, you can enjoy incredible aerial views across the Solent before reaching the island itself, where famous landmarks including The Needles come into view.

It is the sort of experience that suits almost any occasion. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, surprising someone with an unforgettable gift or simply looking for an excuse to do something different this summer, it is hard to beat seeing one of Britain's best loved islands from several hundred feet in the air.

Jurassic Coast Gilding Experience - Devon

Walking the Jurassic Coast is fantastic, but gliding above it is something else entirely.

This experience offers a wonderfully peaceful way to admire one of Britain's most spectacular stretches of coastline. Without the noise of an engine, you can sit back and appreciate the dramatic cliffs, rolling Devon countryside and sparkling sea below in near silence.

Every flight is slightly different thanks to changing weather conditions, which is all part of the adventure. One day you could be gently cruising above patchwork fields, while the next offers incredible views stretching for miles across the coastline.

It is a brilliant choice for anyone who enjoys flying but prefers a slower, more relaxed pace. Instead of racing through the sky, you have time to properly take in every view and enjoy the sensation of effortless flight.

Cornwall Land, Sea And Air Adventure Package For One

Why settle for seeing Cornwall one way when you can experience it from three completely different angles?

This adventure combines a guided coastal walk, a boat trip and a helicopter flight into one memorable day out. You begin on foot, exploring the stunning coastline around St Ives Bay before heading onto the water to appreciate the scenery from sea level.

Just when you think it cannot get any better, you climb aboard a helicopter and retrace much of your journey from above. Seeing the coastline you have already explored suddenly laid out beneath you gives you a whole new appreciation for just how spectacular Cornwall really is.

It is ideal for anyone who likes getting outdoors but also wants something a little different from a traditional sightseeing experience. After all, there are not many days out where you can say you explored the same coastline by land, sea and air.

Private 20 Minute Helicopter Tour for Three from Bournemouth

Sometimes the best flights are the ones you share.

This private helicopter tour lets up to three people enjoy an exclusive sightseeing experience together, with no strangers on board. Departing from Bournemouth Airport, you will lift off above the Dorset coastline before taking in some of the area's most recognisable sights, including Bournemouth Beach, Sandbanks, Hengistbury Head and the vast natural harbour at Poole.

Because the helicopter is privately chartered for your group, the whole experience feels much more special. Whether you are treating family, surprising friends or planning a memorable date, it is the sort of adventure people will still be talking about long after the rotor blades stop turning.

Twenty minutes may not sound like long, but once you are flying above one of the UK's most beautiful coastlines, every second feels packed with incredible views.

Which Scenic Flight Should You Choose?

That depends on what sort of adventure you are looking for.

If dramatic coastlines are your thing, the Isle of Wight and Bournemouth helicopter tours both deliver unforgettable seaside views. If you prefer a slower, quieter experience, the Devon gliding flight offers a completely different way to appreciate the landscape. Meanwhile, if you want to turn your day into a proper adventure, the Cornwall package packs three experiences into one unforgettable outing.

The best part is that every one of these flights shows off parts of Britain that are already beautiful from the ground. Seeing them from the air simply reminds you just how incredible they really are.

Summer only comes around once a year, so if you have been looking for an excuse to book an unforgettable flying experience, this might just be it.
