Hi, I'm Emmanuel and I've been flying for over 10 years and just love it! I've visited places that I would never have visited otherwise. Let's go together and explore some more! Departures are from near Guildford, which is great for visiting almost anywhere, including the Channel Islands and France. There are so many destinations to chose from! I've flown to places as far west as the Isles of Scilly, as far north as the fjords in Norway, as far east as Hamburg (Germany) and as far south as ...

Coastal tour + Lunch on Isle of Wight for 5 pax

Emmanuel was an excellent pilot, guide and host. He was very understanding of the needs of my senior parents and helped them settle into the plane. He was able to point out landmarks on the ground and was apologetic of the slight turbulence. The flight route was adjusted to fly over both our homes in Petersfield. His recommendation for lunch in Bembridge was excellent and we had about three hours on the ground for said lunch, a stroll and swim. I would highly recommend flying with Emmanuel and ...
