Helicopter hire to Le Manoir will be back in 2027. Raymond Blanc’s hotel in Oxfordshire has closed for redevelopment, and its own website says it reopens in 2027. We can plan your flight now, so that you are ready when the doors open again.
Why plan helicopter hire to Le Manoir early
Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons stands in the village of Great Milton, Oxfordshire. Raymond Blanc has led it since 1984, and Belmond, the hotel group behind it, says it has held two Michelin stars every year since it opened. Eleven gardens and a kitchen garden supply the restaurant.
Reopening dates can change, so we suggest you plan helicopter hire to Le Manoir early. Our twin-engine helicopters carry up to eight passengers, and most take a small suitcase or soft bag for each person.
How the flight to Le Manoir will work
You depart from the London Heliport in Battersea. The straight-line distance to Great Milton is about 37 nautical miles, and the flight typically takes 30 to 35 minutes, depending on the helicopter, the routing and the wind. By road the hotel quotes about an hour and a half.
- To arrange helicopter hire to Le Manoir, tell us your target date, your group size and whether you want a return flight.
- The hotel’s own listing mentions a private helipad. While the hotel is closed we cannot book a landing, so we check the arrangements once it confirms its reopening.
- Every landing is subject to landing permission and site suitability.
- Until then, we can fly you to other Oxfordshire destinations. See our Oxford helicopter charter page.
