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.
