American Normandy Day Tour by Air

Itinerary

The only practicable way to complete a tour in one day of the principal sites of the American Landing Sector of the D-Day Beaches from the UK is by light aircraft charter.

A significant extra benefit of this tour is the opportunity to fly over Omaha Beach, the American Military Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc and the Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches. Often this can be done both ways and gives an additional appreciation of the sites when visited on the ground.

This would be your schedule and itinerary:

7am. (7.45am weekend) Collection by executive car from your London Hotel (or other areas by arrangement) to Oxford Airport.

9am. 65 minute flight from Oxford Airport by twin-engined Piper Seneca operated by AirMed to Carpiquet Airfield, Caen, Normandy.

10am. Collection from Carpiquet Airfield by car with me as your guide for a 6-hour unforgettable visit to the following sites:

• The Mulberry Harbour at Arromanches
• The medium gun battery at Longues-sur-Mer complete with guns in situ
• Omaha Beach
• The American Military Cemetery at Colleville
• Pointe du Hoc
• Ste Mere Eglise or The German Military Cemetery at La Cambe (time allowing)

4pm. Board aircraft at Carpiquet.

5pm. Arrive Oxford Airport.

7pm. Arrival at London hotel by executive car.

The cost for the day is GBP 2100 Pounds Sterling for up to four people (or five people, supplement GBP 125 Pounds Sterling), provided their total weight with luggage does not exceed 900lbs, inclusive of flights, a light lunch, all transfers, all miles of travel by car around the sites, and my guide services inclusive of a comprehensive historical narrative at each site. For Booking Terms and Conditions, please click here.

As an option, the pilot can fly over Europe's single most popular tourist attraction of Le Mont St Michel on the return journey. A supplement of GBP 350 will be payable and the weight limit for this leg must not exceed 750lbs.

Payment can be made by Visa or MasterCard. Two debits will be taken from the card, one to Perception Travel Ltd for the guide and vehicle services, and the other to AirMed for the air transfers; the addition of both charges will total the sum payable at time of booking.
