Celebrating Brighton's reputation for kiss-me-quick hats, saucy postcards and dirty weekends, the Brighton Quickie offers a personalized 20 minute flight experience round Brighton and Hove for up to 3 passengers in a modern Robinson R44 helicopter. This helicopter tour can be booked for any day of the week and your party will have sole use of the helicopter. This ensures that the lead member of the party gets the best seat next to the pilot, as well as being able to offer tweaks to the itinerary should there be specific things you want to see within the 20 minute flight time.Brighton City (Shoreham) Airport is an excellent airfield to start a scenic helicopter flight. The recently refurbished Main Terminal Building is an art deco treasure and takes visitors back to an era where flying was the height of sophistication. The views over the airfield are a photographers dream with the light aircraft in the foreground and the stunning backdrop of Lancing College's ornate chapel and rolling South Downs in the background.
After a short safety briefing your pilot will assist you in boarding the helicopter. On leaving the airfield the tour initially routes eastbound along the coastline taking in Shoreham-by-Sea's port area before reaching the residential areas of Hove and then Brighton.

Take to the skies for a Champagne Balloon Flight from Royal Victoria Park in Bath. Enjoy fabulous scenery as you float effortlessly over the Georgian City taking in the sites of the Royal Crescent and the famous Bath Spas. Balloon rides take place at dawn or dusk and the whole experience lasts around 3-4 hours. Meet the crew at Royal Victoria Par where your Pilot will give you a full safety briefing before inflating the balloon and asking you enter the basket. The flight lasts for around an hour gently floating floating over beautiful cities, towns and countryside before landing and enjoying a glass of chilled Champagne to toast your flight. The crew will collect you in the Land Rovers and take you back to the park where you will be presented with a personalised flight certificate signed by your Pilot.Come ballooning over Bath and see the city from above!
The flight will last about an hour but you will be with us for 3-4 hours and includes Champagne and a flight certificate.
On arrival at Royal Victoria Park, you will be greeted by the pilot and crew and you can be involved on setting up the balloon or just watch. After a briefing from your pilot, you will take to the air and you will drift over villages and countryside.
On landing the crew will have followed us with vehicles and trailers and they will meet us and pack the balloon away - most people like to be involved in this as well! You will then be served chilled Champagne, beers & soft drinks before returning you to the launch site. Don’t forget to bring your camera!
You will fly at dusk or dawn when the winds are usually at their calmest. For a morning flight you meet at 6-6.30am am and in the evening, usually 2-3 hours before sunset.
It's recommended that you dress for a walk for the time of year. You may also choose to bring a hat to protect your head from the heat of the burners! Please note ballooning is weather dependent.
If you’ve ever fancied seeing Bath from a different angle, then a hot air balloon ride offers a fantastic opportunity to view the city from above. Bailey Balloons offers magical flight experiences taking off from Royal Victoria Park, next to the impressive Royal Crescent – a must see from the air. Enjoy drifting over the beautiful Somerset countryside, and views of many of Bath’s famous attractions such as Pulteney Bridge, Bath Abbey and The Circus.
