Helicopter flight

Hi, I've done it a couple of times with different friends who've done the trip me. I always booked it via my travel operator for ease (normally Saturday evening we've flown) but one year some of our group just booked when they arrived on the Friday and saved a few €s & were up at about the same time as us. You get almost 2 laps of the circuit and it properly shows you the magnitude of the Mulsanne Straight.

What I would say is that it's entirely random as to whether you will get out in the front seat next to the pilot but I've been lucky as it's obviously the best view. It's not a cheap matter but it was worth IMO. If you are crap at time keeping make sure a friend gets you there on time BTW as they operate rigidly to their flight list as it is very busy at times.

I took a flight during the COVID year, so with no people, we just rocked up at the airport and asked. We waited a while to fill the chopper as they needed 2 more people who eventually rocked up. Did 2 laps, flew passed the blimp, was an experience, not best for pictures, but well worth doing.

Whether you can bob in during the week and try to book one rather than pay the extra fee doing it through a UK company I'm not sure. But I assume they'll have more companies and more choppers when there are more people, unlike the crowdless year we flew.
