Celebrating Brighton's reputation for kiss-me-quick hats, saucy postcards and dirty weekends, the Brighton Quickie takes in all the major sights of the city of Brighton & Hove. This flight costs £300 and carries up to three passengers in the single engine R44 helicopter.
Unlike our helicopter experience flights the 20 minute tour can be taken any day of the week subject to weather and machine/pilot availability. Weight limits apply.

Shoreham Airfield is arguably the best airfield in the UK to start a scenic pleasure flight. The stunning views of the coastline, the piers on the Brighton seafront, the white cliffs, the rolling Sussex Downs - all make Shoreham Airfield head and shoulders above many other isolated, windswept airfields in the UK.
And your experience is not over once your helicopter lands! Shoreham Airport's 1930's art deco main terminal building takes you back to the days when flying was the height of sophistication and is home to the excellent Hummingbird cafe. If you want a special meal then there are various fine restaurants in Shoreham-by-Sea (a 10 minute walk from the airfield).
Cameras can be used on board, but remember to take time to experience the flight and not spend all your time looking at your phone screen or viewfinder. At the end of the flight there's a small momento to take away to remind you of this unforgettable aerial treat!
