Celebrate a unique birthday, anniversary or special occasion? 5 ideas for a once-in-a-lifetime helicopter experience

Some moments in life deserve more than a slice of cake or a dinner at your favorite restaurant. Think milestone birthdays, wedding anniversaries, retirements, or engagements… Why not celebrate in a way you’ll truly never forget?

With a helicopter flight, you don’t just make an impression – you create a full-sensory experience. You’ll soar over your favorite places, take in breathtaking views, and share a once-in-a-lifetime moment with the ones you love. At Helimo, we help turn that special occasion into something truly extraordinary – stylish, safe, and completely tailored to you.

Below are 5 ideas we’d be happy to help bring to life with you.

5 inspiring ideas for a unique helicopter experience

1. Birthday above the clouds

A helicopter flight is the perfect birthday gift for someone who “already has everything.” Whether it’s a 30th, 50th, or 70th celebration – flying over your hometown, a favorite city, or the stunning Belgian countryside makes for a truly memorable day.

Add something extra with a stop at a charming restaurant or a glass of champagne on board. We can personalize the flight with custom music or a framed photo keepsake. Want to go all out? Keep it a secret until the birthday guest sees the helicopter waiting just for them.

2. A proposal in the sky

You’re asking the biggest question of your life, so why not take it to the next level? A helicopter flight gives your proposal a breathtaking backdrop. Imagine flying at sunset, landing at a romantic spot, or pulling out the ring while floating above the city.

We’re happy to help plan the perfect moment, complete with flowers, bubbles, or even a hidden photographer at the landing site. One thing’s for sure: this proposal will become a story you’ll tell forever.

3. Celebrate a milestone in style

25 years of marriage? 10 years together? Or maybe you want to mark a professional anniversary? A special milestone deserves a celebration with style. A helicopter flight lets you celebrate not only the past but also the future.

Make it a full-day experience with a landing at a Michelin-starred restaurant, a beautiful vineyard, or a peaceful picnic location. Helimo handles every detail, so all you need to do is sit back and enjoy – with your partner, family, or business associate.

4. Suprise flight for friends or family

Looking for a unique gift for someone retiring? Graduating? Or just want to surprise a loved one “just because”? Give them a helicopter flight – an experience they’ll talk about for years to come.

Invite them to “a casual lunch” at a chosen location, only to reveal a helicopter waiting to whisk them into the sky for a flight over their hometown. Expect smiles, goosebumps, and maybe even a happy tear or two!

5. Give the gift of a bucket list experience

Everyone knows someone who says, “I’ve always wanted to fly in a helicopter.” Why wait? Help them check it off their list and turn it into a meaningful, personalized memory. Whether it’s a short scenic flight over Antwerp or a day trip with a special stop, the moment itself is priceless.
