flightseeing
Scenic aircraft tours
Flightseeing is sightseeing by aircraft, typically a small plane or helicopter tour over scenic terrain.
The word blends flight and sightseeing.
Flightseeing is especially popular in Alaska and other remote areas where dramatic landscapes are otherwise inaccessible: We booked a flightseeing tour over the glaciers.
