Pembrey Helicopter Rides
Take the front seat beside the pilot on the Ultimate Co-Pilot experience from Pembrey West Wales Airport. With approximately eight minutes in the air, this focused 12 Mile Helicopter Pleasure Flight puts the cockpit view at the heart of the experience.
Put the cockpit at the centre of the flight
Few things compare with seeing West Wales from the front seat of a helicopter. At Pembrey, the Ultimate Co-Pilot experience puts the voucher holder beside the pilot, with the runway ahead and the landscape opening directly in front as the helicopter lifts away.
The flight covers 12 miles with approximately eight minutes in the air, but the front seat makes those minutes feel wonderfully immediate. You are right there for the lift-off, the changing perspective and the unmistakable sense of the ground dropping away beneath you.
It is a compact experience with a big sense of occasion, and an aviation key ring and £5 beer token are included too. If you want to compare a wider range of flight lengths, Swansea Airport is the nearest sensible alternative and is highlighted further down the page.

Why choose the front seat?
The appeal of Ultimate Co-Pilot is not simply the distance flown. It is where you experience those minutes. Sitting beside the pilot brings the cockpit into the experience and puts the forward view directly in front of you as the helicopter leaves Pembrey West Wales Airport.
With approximately eight minutes in the air, the flight is compact enough to work well as a first helicopter experience while still delivering the moment most people have imagined: the rotors at speed, the ground dropping away and the landscape opening ahead through the front of the cabin.
Pembrey is therefore a particularly neat choice when the front-seat experience matters more than having a long list of flight options. If you would rather compare several different distances and sightseeing choices, Swansea gives you that broader range nearby.
