Yes — for the 60 Minute Flying Experience, I’d make it feel like your main sightseeing product and really sell the coastline.
60 Minute Flying Experience
Discover the Northumberland coast from the air with Athey’s Moor Flying School.
Our 60-minute flying experience is one of the best ways to see some of Northumberland’s most spectacular scenery from a completely different perspective.
Departing from Athey’s Moor Airfield, you’ll take to the skies alongside one of our pilots and enjoy an unforgettable flight over the countryside before heading towards the dramatic Northumberland coastline.
Depending on the weather, visibility and flying conditions on the day, the route will typically include views towards some of the region’s most famous landmarks, including Warkworth Castle, Dunstanburgh Castle and Bamburgh Castle, with the possibility of reaching as far as Lindisfarne and Holy Island.
An Unforgettable View of Northumberland
From the air, Northumberland’s coastline is truly spectacular.
You’ll experience sweeping views of beaches, castles, villages and open countryside, all from the unique perspective of a light aircraft.
The aircraft offers excellent visibility, making this a fantastic experience for sightseeing, photography or simply enjoying the scenery.
Weather and conditions permitting, you may also have the opportunity to take the controls yourself and experience what it feels like to fly the aircraft.
A Brilliant Gift Experience
Our 60-minute experience is a fantastic gift for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day or anyone who has always wanted to experience flying.
Gift vouchers can be personalised at checkout and are normally sent by email within 24 hours, with postal delivery also available.
Why Choose the 60-Minute Flight?
The 60-minute experience gives you significantly more time in the air than our introductory flight, allowing you to travel further and see much more of Northumberland.
It’s ideal for anyone who wants a proper sightseeing flight rather than just a short introduction to aviation.
