Have you seen the disclaimer at the bottom? (Incidentally - the disclaimer is not used for any of their other trips)

Anyone in the know must be aware that Cabair are effectively miss-selling a product. They are trying to entice people by insinuating that they will fly over heathrow at 2000 feet or less. Not a snowballs chance in hell - the lowest category of flight priority trying to do that??

Enjoy an airborne view of the world’s busiest international airport and watch airliners landing and taking off from a unique perspective!
.... on a good day an airborne view from 2000' could actually mean you are miles from the airport.

Cabair Helicopters will be operating sightseeing flights over London Heathrow Airport in an AS350 Squirrel helicopter on selected weekends throughout the year
I doubt very much if it will be 'over' Heathrow.

Save your money and buy a more powerful pair of binoculars. in the meantime I have E-mailed them for more information on the trip... see how much they try to flannel me before I mention what I do for a living.
