RELIVE LONDON 2012 FROM THE AIR
Airspace restrictions over London during the Olympic Games are finally lifted from September 13th. From that date, private jet booking service PrivateFly.com offers a unique guided helicopter tour for groups, over the Olympic Park and other major venues.
Highlights of the private tour include:
- Awe-inspiring views of the Olympic Park in Stratford
- The River Zone venues - ExCeL, Greenwich Park, the North Greenwich Arena (O2) and Royal Artillery Barracks
- Other Central London sites including Horse Guards Parade and Hyde Park
- Stunning views of Eton Dorney - the rowing and canoeing venue
- Commentary from an expert guide and champagne on arrival at the heliport
The ninety-minute VIP package costs from £295 per head* and departs from a choice of London heliports including Redhill; RAF Northolt; Elstree; Battersea Heliport; and Biggin Hill.
Carol Cork, marketing director of PrivateFly, comments: "While we can't offer the opportunity to follow James Bond and The Queen by parachuting into the stadium, for those wanting to hold on to the feel-good factor of London 2012 this offers a spectacular way to do so.
"The scale of the Olympic Park and other venues make for a perfect airborne experience, and the celebratory VIP mood is set from the beginning with a champagne arrival at the heliport and commentary from an expert guide. The package will make an ideal gift for die-hard Olympics or Paralympics fans".
