For many people, it sounds exciting, but in practice it is not so bad. You are safely trapped in a modern, approved helicopter, piloted by an experienced pilot. Most passengers are actually surprised by how smooth the flight is. No jerky movements, but a steady, calm experience. Are you afraid of heights? Then it helps to look at the horizon and take a deep breath - often the tension quickly disappears.
The duration varies, but on average a date flight takes around 15 to 30 minutes. There are also shorter options of 10 minutes (for a quick experience) and longer flights of an hour or more, for example if you really want to fly a special route such as over a city or nature reserve. Note: the longer the flight, the higher the price. But also: the more special the experience!
Yes, absolutely. Indeed, a private flight is the most romantic. Then you are alone with your partner and the pilot in the helicopter, with no other passengers. This gives more peace and space to really enjoy yourself together. A private flight is often a bit more expensive, but if it is for an anniversary, marriage proposal or other special occasion, it is definitely worth it.
Comfort is key. You don't have to come in sportswear, but avoid very tight clothes or high heels. A neat outfit that fits well is perfect - especially if you also want to take photos of it. In winter, bring a warm coat as it can be chilly on the platform. In summer, sunglasses are handy (and stylish 😎).
Yes, many people book a helicopter flight as a surprise for their partner. You can even plan a personalised flight where you have a message said or land at a special place. Make sure your partner doesn't realise anything and only hint just beforehand, or keep it a secret until you are on location. 🎁 Tip: bring a small gift or card and hand it over after landing.
Definitely! You are allowed (and almost required) to take photos and videos. The views are breathtaking and it is a unique experience. Put your phone on aeroplane mode but leave the camera running. If necessary, ask the pilot to take a nice photo of you together before or after the flight at the helicopter.
