As the Emirates Air Line clocks up its second year of operation, the cable car has teamed up with Thames Clippers to offer exclusive joint packages to fly over and glide down the Thames.

The packages provide a range of family-friendly options for a great summer day cruising by river on Thames Clippers and at altitude on the Emirates Air Line. Individuals, families or groups can buy river passes allowing unlimited hop-on, hop-off travel to 15 piers along the Thames, as well as a 360° trip on the Emirates Air Line and access to the Emirates Aviation Experience.

Special deals are also available offering a single or return journey from central London or Greenwich to enjoy the Emirates Air Line Experience.A family of up to five people - two adults and three children - can purchase a 'Roamer package' for £50.

Adult tickets begin at less than £14 while children can travel for under £8.

Tickets are available for purchase from the Thames Clippers website and from Emirates Air Line terminals and will shortly be available via Thames Clippers' new ticketing app.

Since opening two years ago the Emirates Air Line has carried over 3.9 million passengers scoring highly on customer surveys and it is strategically located to support large regeneration schemes of both sides of the river at Greenwich (south side) and the Royal Docks (north side).

TfL's Head of the Emirates Air Line, Danny Price, said:
