Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have become a bit of a regular here. If your thinking of a LAPL or PPL things to consider. Yes landing fees at Bournemouth are more expensive so it will cost a little more than a grass strip cheeper airfield. However. Learning to fly in a proper airfield with full ATC does mean right from the start you are learning properly and have no fear of ATC. Bournemouths also at sea level and with a long runway you can fly most of the time unlike grass runways at altitude. I have flown at other airfields and all have their charm but nothing is like being told to circle once and come in to land after a A340 or even a Easyjet. Great place to fly from and great bunch of guys that run it.

Our family bought a helicopter trip over Bournemouth for my wife and I to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary what a fantastic experience. A clear pre flight safely briefing. We flew In thei smaller 4 seater helicopter, the views were amazing. Travelling over Christchurch and then along the coast past Boscombe and Bournemouth piers and on over the entrance to Poole Harbour over land to Corfe Castle then across to Swanage and back along the coast to Christchurch and back over Bournemouth Airport to land absolutely superb Thanks

Had a fab helicopter flight today. The pilot Jim was great, booking was so easy and we saw a great range of areas including Sandbanks, the Purbecks, Old Harry Rocks and Bournemouth. Would thoroughly recommend.

I received the voucher for my 50th Birthday at the start of the year so have been waiting a while to fly but it was so worth the wait! Due to restrictions we paid for the other 2 seats in the helicopter so we could fly as a family. After our informative safety briefing by Ryan, we met our pilot Jim who took us on the tour. The views were breathtaking, and we have got some amazing photos and videos to remember the experience. Jim was very friendly and chatty and pointed out all the local sights as we were flying. This has been on my bucket list for a long time and I can highly recommend this tour. Thank you to everyone at Bliss Aviation for a fantastic experience 😊

An absolutely fantastic experience for me and my 10 year old son. The staff were so welcoming and attentive, and made it feel very special for both of us. The flying itself was amazing and the commentary from the pilot was very interesting as well. Highly recommended as a gift or a treat to yourself!

We would highly recommend Bliss Aviation if you are looking for a magical experience flying over the Dorset coastline. Jim, our pilot, was friendly and knowledgeable. Health and safety is the top priority. Thank you Jim for an amazing flight!

Bliss Aviation were brilliant! Super friendly and helpful when setting up the tour, and fantastic on the day. The whole team looked after us really well and made my father's 80th birthday treat really special. Pilot Jim gave a wonderful tour which he kindly tailored to our request and provided a professional and enjoyable flight which made for some really happy memories. I can highly recommend Bliss Aviation and the helicopter tour experience. Thank you!

Amazing helicopter ride over Christchurch, Bournemouth beach, sandbanks and Poole harbour for £100 for 20 minutes. Pilot did a great job explaining all the sights.

Much better value for money than the £20, 10 second zipwire on Bournemouth pier!

We could not fault anything the team looked after us from the minute we walked through the door. Safety was paramount.
We book the 60 minute flight heading towards Weymouth the views was stunning. Nothing was too much trouble for Jim the poilet. Even though the wind was strong the flight was smooth as could be. Didn't need the sick bag lol. All I can say is wow. Jim told us many of the locations it's totally different from the air. We are certainly going back but next time without the doors if possible. Well done to the team really enjoyable trip. Now you have given us the bug we will be back

What an amazing experience! 👏 I booked this last year for my wife's birthday and due to englands weather, we had to rearrange a few times. The team at Bliss Aviation were very accommodating. When it came to the flight, our pilot Toby was exceptional. A terrific host and brilliant pilot. It made for a very memorable experience which we will cherish for a very long time. THANKYOU! Highly recommended!
