About the experience
Whey sky-high man! Newcastle is famous for many things; the Angel of the North, the Tyne Bridge, St James' Park, stotties, Alan Shearer, Ant and Dec and Cheryl. And if you fancy seeing the North East's main city from the air, now's your chance with this exclusive aerial sightseeing tour for one in a private executive chartered helicopter! Taking flight from Newcastle International Airport, you'll start seeing the sights almost immediately, as you cruise through the air up the A1 motorway, past the Angel of the North, and you'll be blown away by how this magnificent feat of architecture looks from the sky. From there, you'll head over Birtley and Ouston, on towards Washington with the big Nissan car manufacturing plant, keeping an eye out for the Roman-style temple folly known as Penshaw Monument. You'll also take in Newcastle's magnificent coastline, including the gorgeous Marsden Bay and South Shields, as you fly over the estuary and start making your way up the River Tyne! It's instantly recognisable from its several bridges that cross the river, including the Tyne Bridge, the Millennium Bridge at Gateshead and the High Level Metro bridge, each one a lasting reminder of the industrial power behind Newcastle. You'll also be able to spot other iconic landmarks such as the Metro Arena, Grey's Monument, Newcastle Castle Keep and the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art. And for those are self confessed Magpies, a flight over the home ground of Newcastle United F.C - St. James' Park - will definitely be in order! This promises to be a truly spectacular flight over Newcastle that will stay in the memory for a long time.
