Was an amazing flight and staff were fantastic. Want to do it again :)
If you've never been in a Helicopter before, it is definitely worth the experience. Did the Nottingham city tour on 18th June. Value for money and all the staff were very friendly. Will be booking another flight in the New Year.
Fantastic experience we loved it! Very well organised, would love to do it again for longer! Thank you
My husband and son enjoyed a flight here today. Lovely place and lovely people. All in all a great experience. My husband has booked a longer flight and my son is considering a lesson. Thank you very much.
Go for it! It's a blast! Definitely booking more at this price.. Thank you
Friendly staff, amazing experience and we can't wait to do it again, thank you.
Amazing experience. This was a belated 50th wedding anniversary gift from Craig and family and he very hesitatingly joined us with granddaughter Lea, also. We all thoroughly enjoyed the flight, and would have future flights.
We had a 30 minute pleasure flight over Nottingham. It was fantastic. Thank you all. xx
We booked the Dambuster & chatsworth tour for my Grandmothers 90th birthday present as she has always wanted to experience a helicopter ride. Today she went on this tour and it was fantastic from start to finish. The staff were fantastic with getting her in and out of the helicopter, nothing was too much trouble and the tour it self was brilliant. Would highly recommend
Absolutely a fantastic experience. I was co-pilot and talking to the pilot on our flight it was amazing not just the beautiful views but also the experience. I was gob-smacked when I was told what speed we were doing, it surely didn't feel like we were going that fast. Will be booking again soon I want to get my children up in the air, they will love it.
I booked a flight from Breighton as a gift for my dad's retirement and a 13th birthday surprise for my son. Everything went like clockwork, staff were professional, efficient and friendly and the weather was perfect... bonus! I will definitely book with Central Helicopters again.
Fabulous from start to finish - so warm and welcoming and particularly good with small children. We booked a 6-Mile flight for our three-year-old and his granddad and all the staff were friendly and helpful - particularly the ground crew. We'll definitely go again.
We had a pleasure flight from Breighton with our four kids, aged 4, 5, 7 and 9, absolutely brilliant. Thank you
Had a wonderful time, the staff were very entertaining, and extremely friendly to our children. Thanks for a great experience!
