Special Occasion Gift Certificates
Right now, fast and easy!
Celebrate a birthday, anniversary, retirement at 3000 feet!
We'll make your celebration even more memorable! And what a place to pop the question to that special someone! You can propose over Long Island Sound, or over NYC.
Anniversaries are brilliant when you're soaring above the clouds, watching the sun glint on the water half a mile down!
Make that 16th birthday, 18th birthday, 21st birthday, 30th birthday, 50th birthday (whatever birthday!) the best one they've ever had!
We can work with almost any date and time to make your bridal shower, proposal, gender reveal, birthday gift, anniversary celebration, retirement party a truly high flying experience. It can even be an occasion you make up yourself or as a special tribute, the Flight with Friends day, Winter Wonderland Wednesday, Sunset in the Sky day. Who needs leaf peeping, when you can do River peeping! Being above the clouds will even make a memorial a truly special event (memento mori, memento vivere). But no, you may not scatter the ashes from our plane!








We can accommodate up to two passengers, based on weight and balance, and we guarantee you'll have a blast. We love flying, and you and that lucky someone will, too!
Not sure when to schedule the flight -on the birthday? the day before the anniversary? right after retirement? Get a gift certificate right here, and you can even schedule the flight at the same time if you want. You can deliver it any way that works for you (though if you bake it in a birthday or wedding cake it will get all gooey from the icing). Then just give us a call and make the arrangements for the flight!
