The 18 mile route is listed as A View of the Ayrshire Coastline, and the 25 mile option extends to the Troon and Ardrossan Coastal Tour. At the top of the range, the 30 minute sightseeing product has two local descriptions: Ayr, Troon and the Ayrshire Coastal Tour, or the Extended Largs Coastal and Island View Tour.
The same Langholm Farm launch site also carries co-pilot, bubbly and Summer Discovery Day options, so the nine choices are not simply nine different flight lengths. There are several ways to package the experience around the occasion as well as the amount of flying time.
