What Can I Expect

Enjoy a London helicopter tour from Fairoaks! Take off on a 30-minute aerial tour of London from Fairoaks Airport near Chobham and Woking. They're great fun and make for a fabulous gift for any occasion!

Flying has been happening at Fairoaks Airport since the late 1930s, when the land was requisitioned by the MoD for an RAF training base. Today it's a lovely place to visit, with lots of aircraft taking off and landing - including the executive helicopter operating these tours.

Heading off from the dedicated helicopter field at Fairoaks, your flight path to London will take you over the Richmond area into the capital. From here, you follow the River Thames along towards the Barrier. At this point, you will be flying at just 1300ft, which means superb views of everything below!

If this trip from Fairoaks is your first time in a helicopter, you might be wondering what it feels like. We have to say, passengers are genuinely surprised how smooth the take-off and landing is. The sensation when you fly is one of floating gently, as you gaze in amazement at all those well-known London landmarks.

After the helicopter lands back at Fairoaks after your tour, why not have a drink and a bite to eat at the on-site cafe overlooking the runway? It's a great place to watch the comings and goings of the helicopter and other aircraft.

Book your seat on the London helicopter tour out of Fairoaks Airport and get ready to be wowed by the sights of the capital from the air!
