Boeing 747 Flight Simulator Experience For 60 Minutes
About this experience
Strap into the cockpit of a (simulated) jumbo jet for a flight to and from anywhere in the world with this 60 minute Flight Simulator Experience on a Boeing 747.
You’ll feel like you’re taking to the skies all while staying firmly planted on terra firma, so you’ll be in complete safety from simulated take-off to imaginary landing. These simulators were all either owned by airlines for pilot training or formerly actual planes, so you know when you’re getting ready for take-off you’re in one of the finest simulated experiences around.
The plane you’ll be learning to fly is the Boeing 747, the original Jumbo Jet and one of the most recognisable aircrafts in the world. Get ready to channel your inner pilot – your next adventure is waiting!

“Wonderful Experience”
Loved it from start to finish. The only disappointments were 1) the tea we (my wife, daughter and I) were offered when we arrived at the venue never materialised and 2) I paid £40 for four guests and an additional £10 for insurance to cover any dropouts. One guest dropped out the previous day. However, even though we all chatted for about half an hour back in the office after the flight, no rebate was offered. Trivial I know but sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference.
What's Included
- 90 minutes of learning to fly a Boeing 747
- Split between 30 minutes of briefing and 60 minutes of flight time
- Strap into a simulator used by real airline pilots and learn from an expert flying professional
- Experience gift pack including personalised voucher and message card
What happens on the day?
Guest pilots are asked to check at least 45 minutes before the actual flight time. Once that is done, you’ll head to the briefing room for an interactive Power Point briefing which describes the basic principles of flight; the flight controls used to fly the aircraft and then the instruments that are needed to find your way from A to B. Once that is completed, your professional pilot instructor will collect you to board your aircraft for the flight of your life.
In your simulator session you can choose to hand-fly the aircraft or be shown how to control it using the autopilot and complete a take-off and landing from and at almost anywhere in the world.
