After breaking through the thermosphere, Neil Armstrong famously proclaimed, "That's one pretty big step for a man, considering I just learned how to fly yesterday." Climb to new altitudinal/attitudinal heights with today's Groupon: for $200, you get a romantic flight for two from Washington International Flight Academy in Gaithersburg (a $420 value).

Washington International Flight Academy features a team of expert plane people and a fleet of immaculately maintained aircrafts waiting to take passengers on a romantic jaunt through the clouds. Soaring far above the sun as it sinks into its evening cave, you and your loved one will see the lights of DC and Baltimore in a way normally known only to birds and cloud communities. Achieve heights up to 3,000 feet during the 30- to 40-minute flight, where you will see the homes and scenery of Northern Maryland and be strongly encouraged to identify your own home, lest it feel neglected and left out of the fun. The Academy’s friendly veteran cloud captains, approved by the Federal Aviation Administration, do everything in their wingspan to create a safe and enjoyable experience. Each amorous adventure also includes wine and chocolate service.
