Surrey Helicopter Rides
Take off from three Surrey flight locations and choose everything from an exciting first helicopter ride to London sightseeing, Thames Valley views, Highclere Castle tours and private flights lasting up to a full hour.
Three launch areas. Three different ways to make the day memorable.
Surrey gives you a remarkably varied choice of helicopter experiences. From Fairoaks, the range stretches from short scenic flights through a full progression of London sightseeing to private helicopter experiences. Redhill puts London firmly in the spotlight, while Camberley opens up the Thames Valley, Henley-on-Thames, Highclere Castle and longer private flying from Blackbushe Airport.
That means your starting point can be chosen around the kind of day you want. Go for the thrill of lift-off, make London the destination, head towards a famous landmark, add a celebratory extra or reserve the helicopter for your own group.
Woking & Fairoaks
The broadest Surrey range, with short scenic flights, London sightseeing, special experiences and private helicopter options.
Redhill
London sightseeing with approximately 18, 30 or 50 minutes in the air, plus the front-seat Ultimate Co-Pilot experience.
Camberley
Thames Valley views, Henley-on-Thames, Highclere Castle, special experiences and private flying from Blackbushe Airport.
Choose Your Launch Area

Woking & Fairoaks Helicopter Rides
Take off from Fairoaks Airport and choose from Surrey’s widest range of helicopter experiences. Start with a short scenic flight, make London the focus of the day with sightseeing choices from 12 to 50 minutes, add a celebratory or front-seat experience, or reserve the helicopter privately for something much bigger.

Redhill Helicopter Rides
Choose Redhill when London is the reason for flying. Start with an 18 minute skyline experience with bubbly, spend approximately 30 minutes making the capital the main event, or go all-in with the 50 minute Grand Tour. Ultimate Co-Pilot adds a completely different way to experience the front seat beside the pilot.

Camberley Helicopter Rides
Take off from Blackbushe Airport for a choice that stretches from an exciting first flight to substantial landmark sightseeing.

London skylines, Thames Valley views and landmark tours
A helicopter changes the scale of everything beneath you. Roads become lines, woodland becomes texture and familiar towns suddenly sit within a much wider landscape. Across Surrey, that first change of perspective can lead into very different kinds of flight, from a few thrilling minutes in the air to a substantial sightseeing journey.
Fairoaks offers the greatest variety, with short scenic rides, a strong London sightseeing range, special experiences and private flights. Redhill is an excellent choice when London is the main attraction, with shared sightseeing lasting approximately 18, 30 or 50 minutes. From Blackbushe near Camberley, the view shifts towards Reading and the Thames, Henley-on-Thames and Highclere Castle, alongside longer private options.
If you are buying a gift, think about what will make the experience feel special to that person. For some, simply taking off in a helicopter will be the moment they have always wanted. For others, the draw will be London from above, a recognisable landmark, the front seat beside the pilot or the chance to share a private flight with family or friends.
