Made very welcome on arrival. Staff and instructor could not have done any more to make you feel welcome, comfortable and informed. The biggest surprise was to actually sit in an actual 737 cockpit that for many years flew the skies was one of the highlights. The instructor was excellent and very engaging and encouraging. We did a whole flight from Manchester out over the coast and circling round over Blackpool before landing back in Manchester. What an experience and would definitely do it again.

I was made welcome immediately, offered a cup of tea even though I was very early.
Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.
The actual experience itself was amazing and although there was a lot to take in everything was explained clearly and without rushing.
To see and understand the flying procedure was fascinating and exciting.

Brilliant, what a great experience, our co pilot Dan explained everything fully and answered all my questions.
We were even shown the other simulators which was a bonus.
We were made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived until we left.

A little tricky to locate on the industrial park, but patience helped.
