I booked this experience as a gift for my husband but have to say that we both had a fantastic day. I would thoroughly recommend the simulator to anyone interested in flying. The pilot who sat with my husband was friendly, informative and really put my husband at ease & I really enjoyed being able to be involved in the experience too. We will definitely be booking to do this again - fantastic, thank you

I had always wanted to be a pilot but it never happened. This is the closest I got to flying a real commercial aircraft and it was a great experience with a very friendly pilot at hand to guide.
Superb Experience

Absolutely great experience from start to finish. Met by our instructor with a cup of tea and a very warm welcome. Excellent briefing taking into account that I have had experience on light aircraft. Then to the Sim - again great briefing on everything I was doing, no rush. Did one takeoff and four landings by which time you really did feel immersed in the sim and the feeling to the controls and handling of the 737. Finally with my fellow experience colleague Louise, we did two landings in a lightning storm at night! If you have even a remote interest in flying all I can say is go for it - this is one to remember.
Perfect Present For My Boyfriend!

My boyfriend has always wanted to be a pilot and this is the closest thing to actually flying one! The man who ran the experience was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, patient and very enthusiastic! My boyfriend could not stop thanking me and smiling for the rest of the day!

A great present for for my father who spent his entire working career making aircraft fly. Taking control and trying to land at Liverpool at night-time was a challlenge. A very encouraging instructor made it great fun.
Great Day.

A great day. Instructor was excellent. Briefing was very informative and clear and did not become over complicated. The time in simulator was brilliant and very, very enjoyable but unfortunately time passes all too quickly. An unforgettable day

Have waited 40years to try this, well worth the wait. Greeted with a cup of tea and then the briefing which was very clear. Once in the simulator Kevin gave me more instructions and then i had the controls for the take off. Thought that was quite easy, but not so the landings, but no crashes. Encouragement was forthcoming all the time and guidance, was allowed to make mistakes and then try and correct them. Really really enjoyed it, going back for more of the same as soon as i can. Highly recommend the experience. My passenger was sitting just behind and really enjoyed it too. As a result they might have a go themselves. I am still smiling 24hours later!! My instructor Kevin was so patient and very clear in his instructions. Thank you Kevin. one of the best days of my life.
A Perfect Day, Absolutely Brilliant

Thoroughly enjoyable day - a complete surprise to be given this as a present but would recommend to anybody with an interest in aviation, even if buying for yourself! After a comfortable wait (we were a little early) with refreshments and a video of a 737 departure procedure, we received a thorough introduction and were given plenty of time and instruction in the simulator which was far more realistic than I expected. The environment is extremely immersive. The instructor was very accomodating and had everything planned for us. He was professional and courteous and gave excellent explanations about everything we needed to know. We actually ended up having more than our alloted time due to a quiet afternoon. I would highly recommend this experience and I plan to go back soon as a treat to myself! I really feel like I could fly a 737!!
Great Birthday Gift

I didn't take friends I took my wife and eldest son. I have always enjoyed flying and number one son spent many hours teaching Air Cadets to fly powered gliders but on safety grounds Jen and I were never able to fly with Richard at the controls. We were met by Kevin our instructor and after a coffee and briefing we entered the simulator. Being based on the front end of the real thing makes it special. As I was the only client there Richard sat in the jump seat and Jen stood to take some photos. Kevin is a great teacher, very calm and explains everything. The flights were great with day and night landings and even one in the pouring rain. Jen had mentiioned that I had always wanted to fly into Kai Tak now of course long gone. Well what a treat, Kevin had Richard move into the left hand seat I took off from the new airport climbed out and Richard took over and landed at the old airport! One hell of a 60th birthday present and a day I will never forget. Many thanks to all involved.
A Fantastic Gift For Any Wannabe Pilot

Very knowledgeable and personable instructor. Detailed explanation of the theory of flight and the exercises during the experience. Experience of day and night takeoff and landings. As a guest I was bale to sit in the cabin and observe alternatively I could have sat in the flight deck but decided not to be a distraction. Good post flight de-brief with Q & A. For anyone wanting to experience the controls of a 737 this is not to be missed.
So Much Fun

What a fantastic experience! The instructor (Dee) was excellent. His enthusiasm, encouragement and patience was second to none. Would recommend this experience to any one with an interest in aviation or just wants to try something different. I am definitely going back for another lesson - soon as I can get the wife to pay for it.
