In short: a New Year gift for a husband or boyfriend that won’t get lost among the boxes under the tree is not one more thing but an event: a helicopter flight over Kyiv. The price is for the whole Robinson R44 helicopter (up to three passengers), so once flights resume you will be able to fly together. To be honest, you can’t arrange such a gift right now. Flights are temporarily suspended due to martial law, so we are not selling anything or accepting payment at the moment. But the New Year is a time for plans, and this one can start today: leave a certificate request, with no payment and no obligation, and we will let you know first, as soon as flights resume and we open sales.
Why a flight makes a good gift once flights resume
It won’t become one more thing. A scarf, a perfume or a gadget is pleasant, but by spring it dissolves into everyday life. A flight stays an event: the Dnipro beneath you, the bridges, the islands, the pilot’s voice in the headset. People tell stories about a day like that for years.
It can be shared. The price is for the whole helicopter, up to three passengers. If you give it to your husband or boyfriend, you can fly together. If you give it to your girlfriend, the third seat can be offered to her friend or left empty: the amount is the same for two or for three, and we don’t seat strangers.
It is worth looking forward to. A flight over Kyiv is one of those gifts you want to experience together. So it is worth preparing for it in advance: leave a request, and we will let you know first as soon as we open sales.
Which route to choose
| For whom | Route | Price for the whole helicopter |
|---|---|---|
| For a first acquaintance with the sky | Sightseeing flight over Kyiv, 12 min | 7,599 UAH |
| For someone who loves open space | Kyiv and Mezhyhiria, 24 min | 13,699 UAH |
| When this is the main gift of the year | Kyiv Bridges and Mezhyhiria, 42 min | 22,899 UAH |
A certificate will be issued for a specific route, not for an amount. If the recipient wants to fly longer, the shorter route can be exchanged for a longer one by paying the difference. All routes and durations are on the tours page, and what makes up the price is explained in the article “How much does a helicopter flight in Kyiv cost”.
What you can do right now, while flights are paused
- Look through the routes on the “Gift Certificates” page or in the catalogue.
- Leave a certificate request: route, name and phone number. No payment, no obligation.
- Think about who the gift is from: we will add it to the certificate when we prepare it.
- As soon as flights resume and we open sales, we will let you know first. Then you can order the certificate, and the recipient will choose the flight date himself.
How to present it once you have the certificate
- To your husband: last, after all the “serious” gifts. And mention a detail that a technology lover will appreciate: every passenger will have a headset and two-way communication with the pilot, and you will be able to ask questions during the flight. More ideas are in the article about a gift for the man who has everything.
- To your boyfriend: as an invitation, not as an “expensive gift”. Not “this is for you” but “let’s fly together”. The second seat in the helicopter will be yours, and the third can be offered to his best friend. If he has never flown, show him how the first flight goes.
- To your wife or girlfriend: together with a few warm words. And list what she will see from above: the Dnipro, Trukhaniv Island, the bridges, the Motherland Monument and the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. More ideas are in a separate article about a flight as a gift for a woman.
- To both of you: if you fly together, it will be your shared day, the two of you in a helicopter with Kyiv beneath you.
What it helps to know in advance
- No prepayment will be needed for the flight if you book it for yourself: once flights resume, you pay on the day of the flight. We will explain how certificates are paid for when we open sales.
- We will fly in winter too, weather permitting, from sunrise to sunset. If the weather is unfit for flying, we will move the flight to another date at no extra charge.
- Photos and videos during the flight on your own phone are free.
- Nervous before the first flight? Show them how the flight goes, from arriving at the airfield to landing.
- Other answers are in the “Questions and Answers” section.
