Want to surprise them with an unforgettable gift? This could be the one!
After a warm welcome at the airfield, you’ll sit down with a CAA-qualified instructor for a relaxed pre-flight briefing. They’ll explain how the aircraft works, what to expect in the air, and how the controls respond – all in plain English, no jargon required. Even if flying is totally new to you, you’ll feel at ease from the start.
Then it’s time for the main event. One of you will take the front seat alongside the instructor for a 30-minute aeroplane trial lesson, while your partner joins as an observer in the back. As the wheels leave the runway, the thrill really kicks in. With the instructor guiding you, you’ll actually get hands-on at the controls and experience what it’s like to fly an aircraft yourself.
Meanwhile, your other half gets to soak up the views, snap photos, and enjoy seeing you in full pilot mode. Spectators are welcome too, so friends or family can watch the take-off and landing if they wish.
After touching back down, the experience ends on a high, literally and figuratively. You’ll be treated to a bottle of fizz and a box of indulgent chocolates, the perfect excuse to sit back, toast the adventure, and relive your favourite moments from the flight. You’ll also receive a signed flight certificate as a keepsake, and the lesson even counts towards a Private Pilot’s Licence should the flying bug bite.Â
This flying lesson gift would be deal for anniversaries, birthdays, or simply surprising someone you love with something extraordinary.
This is a private experience for 2 people, with 1 person having the lesson (with the instructor) and the other sitting as a passenger. Â
Please allow approximately 60 minutes for this experience with 30 mins flying.
