Boeing 737 Flight Simulator Experience, 60 minutes

Having chosen between eight locations, Ellesmere Port, Shoreham-by-Sea, Bacup, Cheltenham, Peterborough, Sywell or Newcastle upon Tyne, you’ll be welcomed on arrival and invited to relax in the waiting lounge until your appointed flight time.  Before taking your seat in the simulator cockpit your instructor will lead you in a pre-flight briefing to plan your simulator experience.

Once you’ve selected your departure and arrival airports, weather conditions and time of day, you’ll be tutored by your instructor on taking off and setting course.

You’ll be able to share the experience with up to two ‘passengers’,(except at Ellesmere Port) so take the opportunity to give friends or family a unique experience too.
