Let’s talk about preparing for your helicopter tour in London! Given that these tours range from a quick 25 minutes to an impressive 2880 minutes, it's important to consider what you need for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Primarily, think about practicality – we want you to feel secure and prepared for the duration of your flight.
Considering the potential for motion sickness, which can be exacerbated by heights and movement, bringing some ginger tablets or similar remedies is highly recommended. It’s also wise to wear clothing that allows for freedom of movement; avoid anything overly restrictive like tight jeans or jackets. Layers are key – a light jacket or fleece will provide warmth if the helicopter experiences a slight breeze, while you can easily remove it if you get warm during takeoff and landing.
Because these tours involve being in an aircraft, comfortable footwear is essential. We suggest sturdy walking shoes that you don’t mind potentially getting slightly damp, as there might be some movement around the boarding area. For the longer tours (particularly those exceeding 2880 minutes), a small bag to hold essentials like water and snacks could also be beneficial.
Finally, given the price range of £770 to £17,290, we advise you to come prepared with your payment method – typically credit or debit card. Most importantly, bring your enthusiasm for experiencing London from a truly unique perspective!
