Flying Experience Gifts - Page 12
Secure their ticket to the skies! From hot air balloon rides and flying lessons to fighter pilot missions and scenic helicopter tours, discover over 450 top flying experiences in the USA - the perfect gift idea for adventure seekers, aspiring pilots, and anyone who loves a spectacular view.
Which flying experience should I gift?
It all depends on their unique vibe. Lucky for you, Virgin Gifts has something for every kind of adventurer. If they’re all about adrenaline, fighter jet-style experiences and aerobatic flights are as thrilling as it gets. If they’ve always wanted to be the one flying the plane, hands-on flight lessons put them in the pilot’s seat with a certified instructor right there beside them. And if they’re more about the views than the G-forces, scenic helicopter tours and hot air balloon rides deliver those jaw-dropping, Insta-worthy moments.
Safety from takeoff to landing
Safety comes first. Always. We only partner with expert pilots and instructors, ensuring your recipient is in good hands throughout their experience. Before they even get near the runway, your recipient will go through a simple, easy-to-follow introduction and safety briefing so they know exactly what to expect. From takeoff to landing, everything is carefully guided. So, they can focus on the fun part: enjoying the view, the thrill, and the unforgettable feeling of being up in the air.
How to gift a flying experience
At Virgin Gifts, gifting experiences is our bread and butter. That’s why we’ve made every step simple and fast. All you have to do is choose their experience, personalize their voucher, and send it instantly via email. They can redeem and book their experience on their terms. No deadlines, no pressure. Plus, they'll enjoy exclusive perks like flexible booking, no expiration dates, and easy exchanges (just in case one of our 5,000+ other experiences catches their eye).
