Glastonbury Festival 2023: Eye-watering cost rich revellers are paying for helicopter taxi to event

We all know that festival season can mean queuing - a lot of it. And it's not just to get onto the festival site but traffic on the roads, and even packed trains and buses. But while thousands are fighting their way through the masses, the rich and famous are able to dodge all the mayhem, but how?

Many A-list performers and guests will use the VIP air-taxi service this year to travel from London to a helipad right next to the festival grounds, where they will have a short car ride to the destination. Flights from the capital will only take approximately 45 minutes, a small chunk of time in comparison to those queuing to get in.

One of the companies offering these VIP helicopter flights to the festival next month are Get Heli, a private charter helicopter company offering flights to big events across the country throughout the year. Fitting up to six people, a return from London to Glastonbury will cost passengers between £2,580 and 11,500, according to their website.
