Amazing experience
Jan 2016 • Couples
I bought a 30 minute experience for my boyfriend as a gift as he loves all things aircraft! The instructor was wonderful, charismatic and patient. He conveyed a lot of detailed information in a really concise way which allowed us to get straight down to flying the sim.
Although I wasn't flying, I got to sit in the cockpit too, and the whole experience was incredibly immersive...I even felt myself tense slightly as we took off! In 30 minutes we did two flights, one from London Heathrow to City (take-off, crusing, and landing), and one that started from mid-air to land in Vienna.
My boyfriend had an excellent experience and we'd definitely do this again. We managed to get a Groupon voucher, so the whole experience was really good value for money.

Great! Patient instructor who showed great knowledge and enthusiasm. Would definitely do it again! Taken through step by step, and I was given the choice of flights. Lovely trip through a no fly zone in Paris past the Eiffel Tower.

Very unique experience

It doesn't matter what level of experience you have, the instructor provides just the right level of training to ensure you enjoy this flight sim! I knew very little, but by the end of the hour, I had surpassed all expectations. I would say a minimum of an hour is best to get the maximum benefit out of this.This gives plenty of time to be briefed, ask questions,nand still make several scenic flights.

A great session that my 11 year old loved.
He was well looked after by the instructor and had a fabulous time.
Came away asking when he could do it again.

Dave,
There are couple of options to park at the Airport.
For convenience please check the link to Parking online booking system:
birminghamairport. co. uk/airport-parking/
As another convenient and fast option is to get to the Airport by train (around £4 from Birmingham New Street Station) and then by mono rail "Air-Rail Link" (free of charge).
The venue is inside the Terminal near to Arrivals and next to Costa Coffee and M&S Simply Food.

Good morning Shayau,
ther'is absolutely nothing to be scared of, actually the goal of the entire experience is just to have fun while we learn how to fly an airplane in a professional flight simulator.
I'm not only a Professional Pilot but a Certified Flight Instructor also and ther'is nothing more rewarding for me than to share my passion with aviation enthusiasts and to see the big smile of our customers after the experience.
I'm positive that if you will give it a try you will have the same smile on your face ;)
If you have any other doubt or request feel free to contact me anytime!
Cheers
