Flying experiences by personality

by Elisa Parry

Give someone the gift of flight! If someone you know is about to celebrate a special occasion, why not gift them the chance to fulfil their childhood dream of learning how to fly! Not sure which experience to choose? Here’s a handy rundown of which flying experiences suit which personality types. If they are an adrenaline junkie – skydiving is definitely for them. But don’t worry, if they’re not so keen on throwing themselves out of a plane there are plenty of relaxing ways to enjoy the view from the top.

Hot air balloon over the Avon Valley
The dreamers

If they are the kind of person that loves adventure but also enjoys cruising through life at a slightly calmer pace, hot air ballooning should be at the top of their list. Take in the great views from great heights without reaching great speeds.

Adrenaline junkies

Yep, you guessed it – skydiving is the top pick for adrenaline junkies. Chances are they’ll love the experience so much they’ll probably do it more than once in their lifetime.

Black ops helicopter experience
Action men and women

Know someone who loves to channel their inner Bond? They’ll love the chance to launch their very own Black Ops helicopter flight mission. Once their mission is complete, it’s probably time to strap in for a Top Gun Jet Fighter flight. If that’s not enough, there’s always the option of a Warbird aerobatic flight – they’re going to want to hold on tight!
