North West Flying Experiences

Give the gift of adventure with flying experience days in the North West. From thrilling helicopter rides and indoor skydiving to romantic hot air balloon flights, these gifts are perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and more.

Soar Above the Rest With Flying Experience Days in the North West

When it comes to finding the perfect gift, it’s not always about what fits in a box, it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime. Flying experiences in the North West of England tick every box for a truly unforgettable gift idea. Whether it’s gliding over stunning landscapes, floating peacefully in the sky, or defying gravity indoors, there's a flying adventure to thrill everyone.

Why Flying Experiences Make Amazing Gifts

Imagine the look on their face when they open a card and discover they’re going to take to the skies. Flying experience days offer something far more exciting than traditional gifts, they give the gift of adventure, wonder, and breathtaking views.

They’re ideal for a wide range of special occasions. Searching for anniversary gifts that truly show how much you care? A hot air balloon ride at sunrise is as romantic as it gets. Planning Christmas gifts that are a little out of the ordinary? Give the joy of flight wrapped in festive cheer.

Flying gifts aren’t just for one type of person, either. They suit thrill-seekers, daydreamers, and everyone in between. The North West offers a fantastic selection of scenic routes, from the dramatic Lake District to the rolling hills of Lancashire and Cheshire. No matter who you're buying for, they’re guaranteed to remember this gift forever.

Helicopter Rides: Celebrate in Style

Marking a milestone birthday? Planning a surprise to commemorate a major achievement? A helicopter ride is an unforgettable way to honour life’s big moments. There’s something uniquely exhilarating about the moment the rotors kick in and you lift off vertically into the air.

To fly in a helicopter is to see the world from a whole new perspective. With panoramic views and the thrill of slicing through the sky, these experiences are perfect for birthdays ending in a zero, or any time you want to do something extraordinary.

Helicopter packages in the North West take passengers over iconic landmarks, sparkling coastlines, and lush countryside. It’s the kind of luxury that doesn’t come with a designer label, but leaves a bigger impression.

Indoor Skydiving: The Thrill Without the Drop

Not ready to leap out of a plane? No problem! You can still feel the rush with an indoor skydiving experience. It's one of the most exciting gifts out there and it’s perfect for all ages. Many indoor skydiving venues welcome adventurers aged 10 and up, making them great for kids, teens, and adults alike.

Indoor skydiving gives you the sensation of freefalling, just like a real skydive, without the height, parachute, or nerves. It’s powered by powerful vertical wind tunnels that lift you into the air, and professional instructors are on hand to guide you through every twist and turn. Talk about thrilling!

It’s an ideal gift for families looking to try something new together, or for individuals who crave that adrenaline buzz. Plus, no weather worries, it’s a guaranteed fly zone, rain or shine.

Hot Air Balloon Rides: Romance in the Clouds

For the dreamers and romantics, few things compare to the serenity of a hot air balloon ride. Floating gently above the countryside at sunrise or sunset, this magical experience is one that words can't do justice.

Hot air ballooning makes the ultimate choice for anniversary gifts, wedding presents, or even unique proposals. With flights departing from beautiful spots across the North West, your loved ones will enjoy awe-inspiring views and sip on a celebratory glass of fizz when back on the ground.

It’s not just about the flight either, the whole experience, from watching the balloon inflate to the landing, is full of wonder. For couples, it’s time shared without distractions. For individuals, it’s peaceful reflection in the clouds.

When Is the Right Time to Give a Flying Gift?

Flying experiences are wonderfully versatile and can be given for just about any occasion. Here are just a few times when a gift like this is especially perfect:

  • Anniversaries – Celebrate your journey together with a literal journey through the sky.
  • Weddings – The happy couple will treasure their first flight as newlyweds.
