Sightseeing Flight Lelystad and Flevoland

The shortest route I fly from my home base Lelystad Airport: a loop above Flevoland. You see the youngest province of the Netherlands the way it was designed to be seen, from the air, with the geometry of the polders and the water of the IJsselmeer and Markermeer.

Indicative cost share: Indicative share:€50 p.p. (with 3 fellow flyers)
Duration: ± 45 min of flying
Passengers: Max. 3 passengers
Departure: Departure from Lelystad Airport

This is not a fixed price or ticket. Your final share is based only on the actual direct costs and is split equally between everyone on board including me as the pilot.

About this sightseeing flight

This is the loop I fly most often myself. Right after take-off Flevoland unfolds below you like a chessboard of dead-straight ditches, roads and fields. Only from above do you see how cleverly this land was engineered and how young it all is. I fly over the Oostvaardersplassen, one of the best known nature reserves in the Netherlands, and past the marinas and the Batavia shipyard of Lelystad itself.

Then we cross the Markermeer towards the Marker Wadden, the new archipelago that rose from the water in just a few years. Along the way we also pass Urk, the former island that you can still clearly recognise as an island in the polder landscape from the air. An ideal first sightseeing flight or a great gift for someone from the region.
