The Main Event

This helicopter flight over Oxford offers a completely different way to see one of England’s most beautiful cities.

Taking off from London Oxford Airport, this sightseeing flight lifts you above the rooftops and into the skies for around 30 unforgettable minutes. As the helicopter climbs, Oxford opens up beneath you, revealing its famous spires, historic colleges and winding waterways in a way you simply can’t appreciate from the ground.

You’ll enjoy sweeping aerial views of the city’s world-famous university architecture, with landmarks like Christ Church, the Bodleian Library and New College clearly visible below. Fans of Harry Potter will love spotting locations featured in the films, while history lovers can take in sights such as the Radcliffe Camera, Oxford Castle and the elegant layout of centuries-old streets.

The flight also showcases Oxford’s wider surroundings, including the gentle curve of the River Thames as it weaves through the landscape. Depending on the weather and wind conditions on the day, you may also pass over recognisable modern landmarks like the BMW Mini Factory and Kassam Stadium, offering a brilliant contrast between old and new.

This experience is ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, milestone celebrations or as a surprise for someone who’s hard to buy for. It suits couples looking to share something special or solo adventurers wanting to tick off a bucket-list experience.

What really makes this helicopter flight such a great gift is the perspective it offers. Seeing Oxford from above brings the city’s history, beauty and character together in one breathtaking moment. It’s guaranteed to be talked about long after the helicopter touches back down.
