There’s no better way to get breathtaking views of nature from above than on a helicopter tour. However, some people are a bit nervous for their first time going up in one of these machines. If this is you, don’t worry—we’ve got a few tips and tricks to help you prepare for a helicopter tour, so read on!
Choose the Right Tour
Selecting the right tour is key to an enjoyable experience. Read reviews from previous customers to determine whether a tour company has what it takes to show you an enjoyable time. You should also consider the season you book in. Spring is a fantastic time for a helicopter tour, so consider planning your trip when flowers are in bloom and life is budding all around you.
Follow Safety Protocols
The best thing you can do for your security and enjoyment of the trip is to follow all the safety protocols of your chosen tour provider. The pilot or an employee will give you instructions on the ground about the best practices, so remember to pay close attention. Watch what your pilot does to enter and exit the helicopter, and equip yourself with all the provided equipment, including your headset and seatbelt.
Dress Appropriately
The right clothing can go a long way in making you more comfortable in the air. We recommend wearing clothing that allows for easy movement but isn’t too light. Anything too light could get blown around as you enter or exit the helicopter. Additionally, you may want to bring a sweater or light jacket, as it can get chilly up in the air.
Book during an ideal season, follow safety protocols, and dress comfortably. Now that you know these tips and tricks to help you prepare for a helicopter tour, it’s time to book one!

ARMENIA / AZERBAIJAN
A UN team, led by Vladanka Andreeva, the Resident Coordinator for the United Nations in Azerbaijan, visited the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan yesterday. It was a day trip but they got to see quite a bit. The mission aimed to assess the situation on the ground and identify the humanitarian needs of both the people remaining and those who are on the move.
The team included Ramesh Rajasingham, who, as you know is the Director of the Coordination Division of the Department for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. It also included representatives of the Food and Agriculture Organization, UNICEF the UNHCR and the World Health Organization.
The mission visited the city of Khankendi, where the team met with people and community representatives, and was able to see first-hand, for themselves, the situation regarding health and education.
In parts of the city visited by the team, they saw no damage to civilian public infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and housing, or cultural and religious infrastructure. However, no shops seemed to be open. The mission also saw that the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan was preparing for the resumption of health services and some basic utilities in the city.
The team also heard from representatives of communities that between 50 and 1,000 ethnic Armenians remain currently in Karabakh.
Our colleagues were struck by the sudden manner in which the local population fled their homes and the suffering that the experience must have caused them. They did not come across any reports – either from the local population or from others - of violence against civilians following the latest ceasefire.
No destruction of agricultural infrastructure or dead animals were seen by the members of the UN team.
The team stresses the need to rebuild trust and confidence, adding this will require time and effort from all sides.
They also drove down the Lachin road up to the border crossing with Azerbaijan - a journey, which has been taken by more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians in the last few days – and the team did not come across any civilian vehicles.
While driving through Aghdam, which is part of the territories regained in 2020, members of the UN team did observe destruction, as well as the reconstruction efforts that are being made by the Government of Azerbaijan.
The UN team plans to continue to regularly visit the region.
Meanwhile, we are also responding to the needs of new arrivals at reception centres in Armenia.
Over the weekend, trucks with supplies from the UN Refugee Agency [UNHCR] have arrived in Armenia.
Our colleagues are telling us that the cargo contains warm blankets, mattresses, folding beds, hygiene items and other assistance for the refugees that have been taken in by host communities. An additional 15 trucks from UNHCR is expected in the coming days, bringing more items like blankets, beds and kitchen sets for about 7,000 refugees in total.
For its part, the World Food Programme has provided more than 5,000 meals in registration centre areas in the past few days, as well as lunch boxes for about 600 refugees in Kapan and Parakar registration centres.
In response to a government request, the World Food Programme distributed 4,000 family food parcels to the Syunik authorities to address the food requirements of the impacted people. An additional 3,500 parcels to assist 14,000 people are being procured to support the next phase of the response, in coordination with the government.
Also today, the UN Children’s Fund said they have delivered the first batch of life-saving medical supplies to Armenia's National Center for the Provision of Medicines and Medical Supplies. This includes crucial items like bandages, syringes, and various medications, including antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication.
The UN Population Fund (UNFPA), for its part, is delivering essential hygiene items to refugee women and girls in a number of regions in Armenia.
In partnership with the Ministry of Health, UNFPA has distributed enough reproductive health kits to meet the needs of 150,000 people in the regions of Syunik, Tavush and Gegharkunik.
GUATEMALA
In response to questions about the situation in Guatemala, the Spokesman said the Secretary-General is alarmed by the recent actions of the Public Prosecutor's office in Guatemala that threaten confidence in the democratic process. He calls on all actors to uphold the rule of law and the democratically expressed will, ensuring that the freely elected authorities take office on 14 January 2024.

Global Video: How rocks from an asteroid could teach us about our planet
On Sunday, rocks plucked from the asteroid 101955 Bennu will land on our planet, ready to be studied by scientists who hope this sample can shine a light on our planet – and how it came to be.
The sample comes to us seven years after NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on a mission to study a near-Earth asteroid and three years after it successfully touched down on Bennu to collect a sample of an asteroid for the first time in the space agency’s history.
Bennu is described as a celestial “rubbish pile” that is made up of material dating back billions of years to when the solar system was forming. And as Alyssa Julie reports, scientists believe its rocks could hold a record of that time period.

Global Video: Maui wildfires: Wind, drought and invasive grass created perfect storm for devastating fires
Punishing winds, a severe drought and invasive grass created the perfect conditions for the devastating fires on Maui that have so far killed at least 67 people, experts say.
The exact cause of the fires is yet to be determined but the National Weather Service had issued warnings for high winds and dry weather as Hurricane Dora brushed south of Hawaii.
Craig Clements, a meteorology professor at San Jose State University, said Maui had already been in a severe drought, putting it at risk for fires. He said the steep mountains overlooking the hard-hit town of Lahain also exacerbated the high wind conditions, sending them into populated areas at high speed.
Alyssa Julie has more on how conditions fanned the flames of the fires.

The coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a King of England has his coronation televised and only the second-ever British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
It’s a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance, cloaked in mystery and steeped in centuries-old traditions…that comes from a healthy dose of historical pettiness and happenstance.
During the ceremony, the monarch will be presented with the crown jewels, almost all of which were destroyed, altered, or lost to time over the often-tumultuous centuries of British history.
While the crown is the centrepiece of the regalia – what do sceptres, swords and a Scottish stone have to do with being anointed to the British throne?
Global News explains.

Sean Previl takes a look at the history of the country, the political conditions it currently faces and what could happen if China did take that step.
