scenic flights
Sky-based sightseeing trips
Scenic flights are short aircraft trips taken for sightseeing rather than transportation.
Passengers fly over landscapes—mountains, coastlines, glaciers, or landmarks—to view them from above.
The term appears in tourism contexts: We booked a scenic flight over the Grand Canyon.
Helicopters, small planes, and seaplanes commonly offer scenic flights.
