About this experience

If you’ve ever wanted to fly a plane, you can now experience the full thrill of piloting a Boeing 737 in complete safety. The 30 minute Flight Simulator Experience is ideal for anyone looking for their first taste of flying. However, the session can be tailored to each individual, so even if you are a fully trained airline pilot you can fully enjoy this experience at a choice of six locations.

For those that have limited experience being up in the air, the instructor will talk you through every step and fill you with knowledge and confidence. The fantastic brand new simulators offer 1:1 full-life scale visuals with sound effects recorded from real airlines, making the experience as real as possible. You will have control over multiple aspects of your flight, including the time of day and the weather. Plus, there are simulations available for every one of the world’s 24,000 major air ports, so wherever it is your dream to fly, it can be made possible.
