Love is in the Air - By Airplane - Romantic, Sightseeing, Unique Flights
Flights in Larger Airplanes

By Arlene Fleming, About.com

Touring in a smaller airplane is not your thing? Here a few spectacular ideas with fewer props:
  • You can see the least visited continent. A Qantas Boeing 747 takes passengers over Antarctica. The airplane doesn't actually land on Antarctica, so no parkas are necessary.
  • Scale Mount Everest without ever leaving the comfort of an airplane. Flights depart from Kathmandu, Nepal and take you on a flying tour of the Himalayas.
  • Airlines offer gift certificates so you can give the gift of travel to yourself or someone else, and create your own air travel tours.
Air travel doesn't have to be a mess of airports and unpleasant experiences. Discover or re-discover the silver-lined skies.

* Please note that the aforementioned tours are suggestions only, and serve as resources to jumpstart the planning of your own unique flight experiences.
