Want to live the life of the rich and famous? Bring a friend, family, or a special someone to an exhilarating 15-minute ride of a helicopter as you soar over the countryside and watch the world beneath. It’s surely an unforgettable experience that will turn your friends green with envy. The thrill of the ride is best to share; so grab a friend to giggle with as you soar up and away or bring a special someone to a helicopter date you will never forget.

For £198, you will be brought to the aircraft as you will be strapped and donned with the headphones. The R44 is such that both you and your companion will enjoy the window seats, so don’t forget the camera! Remember though that neither of you will pilot the aircraft; so sit back, relax, and enjoy.

This voucher is good for 10 months and you can bring with you a kid of at least 8 years of age. The whole thrill of the ride takes 15 minutes from take off to landing, so the only downside is that it might just be too short. With exception to the Leicester location, it’s just you, your friend, and the pilot.

It’s a perfect gift to someone who always wondered how it feels like to ride a helicopter, or that 8-year old kid who loves waving goodbye to a helicopter flying past, or to a special someone who would always want to share all the excitement with you. It’s also a great Mother’s Day gift to a loving mom who would always want a break from the usual massages, hotel breaks, and the everyday stress.
