Flying High

Today we went to Redhill Aerodrome... My father-in-law had a trip in a helicopter booked and the conditions couldn't have been more perfect... It had chucked it down with rain yesterday but today was a wonderfully clear blue sky with at least 10 mile visibility.

The pilot came out and was rounding up passengers when I joked that if he had any spare places we had a couple of little ones (the children) who'd love to go up.

A couple of minutes later he came over and said he did have a spare seat, would anyone like to go?.. So we nominated my mother-in-law and she got to ride for free.

So advice if you book the same is book just one flight and then make it clear you're available should there be spare seats and you never know, you may get to fly for free.
