It was my baby birthday surprise. He had no idea what I had planned for him. He stated, “I’m not jumping out of an airplane ✈️ “. He was scared but when I went Facebook live, he straightened right up. Our pilot Jordan did an amazing job.

Parking is completely free! We are located at 11499 Conner St Detroit, MI 48213 , inside the Detroit City Airport.

When you pull into the main entrance of the airport, you can park to the left in the parking lot with MyFlight Tours parking signs or you can park right out front under the overhang.

Upon parking, please enter the main building through the doors to the far right (towards the tower) with the MyFlight Tours logo above the door.

To ensure a smooth and timely departure for your helicopter tour, we ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to the scheduled flight time. This will allow us to complete our check-in process, which includes going over all of the safety rules and regulations prior to boarding the flight.

Please note that if you are more than 20 minutes late for your scheduled flight, we will charge a $25 late fee. We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, but to keep our tours running on schedule and to respect the time of our other customers, we kindly ask that you arrive on time.

We require that you bring the credit card that was used to make the booking, as well as a valid ID that matches the name on the booking and credit card. These items are required for verification purposes before boarding the flight.

Please note that failure to provide these documents will result in the denial of your flight.

Additionally, we encourage you to bring a phone or camera to capture your experience and take photos or videos of the stunning aerial views. Our helicopter tours offer an amazing opportunity to see the world from a unique perspective, and we want you to be able to remember and share these memories for years to come.

For safety reasons, we strictly enforce a weight limit of 300 lbs per passenger as specified by the aircraft manufacturer. Please note that passengers exceeding this weight limit will not be able to fly. To ensure compliance, we will conduct a brief weighing process before the flight.

If you’re looking to make your loved one’s birthday even more memorable, we offer a $200 birthday package that includes several special touches.

During home games for the Detroit Tigers or Detroit Lions, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposes a temporary flight restriction over the stadium area. This means that we are not permitted to fly within 3 miles of the stadium during the game.

However, we do offer special “Game Day Routes” for our customers. These routes are altered paths that allow us to still fly during the game, but in a way that avoids the restricted airspace. The flights on these routes are the same length and distance as our regular routes, but they take a slightly different path to avoid the restricted area.

Our “Game Day Routes” are in effect for one hour before, during, and one hour after the game. This ensures that our customers can still enjoy their flights, even on game days, while also adhering to FAA regulations and safety protocols.

We are staffed at The Detroit City Airport Wednesday – Sunday. During the week our staff is available from 2PM – 8PM and on the weekends they are available from 11AM – 9PM.

Should you need to stop by outside of our normal hours, please give us a call and we can arrange for a staff member to meet you at the specific date and time of your choosing.

Please note that the Birthday and Love Packages can only be added on to The Ambassador Bridge Tour and tours above that level. Unfortunately, these packages are not currently offered for The Detroit Quick Hop.

The Quick Hop tour does not allow our staff enough time to set up the packages.

We offer a variety of custom event options, including rose petal drops, gender reveals, proposals, photoshoots, and more. Each event is custom priced based on the specific details and requirements.

To book a custom event, please visit the Helicopter Services section on our website and fill out the contact form with your desired event, date, location, and any other necessary information. A staff member will review your request and get back to you as soon as possible with pricing and availability.

We do not expect our customers to tip the pilot, but tips are always appreciated as a way to show gratitude for a job well done. While our pilots do receive a salary, tips can be an important part of their income and are a way for customers to recognize exceptional service.

We will never fly in unsafe conditions. Safety is our top priority which is why our pilots closely monitor the weather at all times. There can be times when incremental weather makes it unsafe to fly (poor visibility, strong winds, heavy rain, etc). If the weather impacts your flight, we will contact you. We do not make any weather decisions until the day of as the weather is constantly changing.

Our team will work with you to find a convenient date and time for your rescheduled flight that works with your schedule.

Out of the Centre

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.
