scenic flight
Sky-based sightseeing trip
A scenic flight is a short aircraft trip taken for sightseeing rather than transportation.
Helicopters and small planes carry tourists over landmarks, coastlines, or natural wonders: We booked a scenic flight over the Grand Canyon.
The purpose is the view, not the destination.
