It was brilliant. It was a Christmas gift for my two teenage sons. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, talking about real life personal experiences and created lots of scenarios for takeoff and landing challenges. He was so patient, he made us all feel so welcome.

This was a gift for our 15 year old son. It was the second time has done the experience, first time in the Boeing cockpit, this time in the Airbus. I was glad I was able to choose which he could experience as he really wanted to be in the Airbus. He absolutely loved it.

I have forgotten the name of the instructor but he was fantastic. Very informative, friendly & gave our son opportunities to try landing in different scenarios.

Absolutely superb. From the moment we walked in the door it was a great experience. Dave, our pilot was a great guy. His instructions were clear, precise and easy to follow. One of our group (not taking the experience) is a pilot. Dave embraced this by allowing him to act as the co-pilot whilst he concentrated on training the newbie. This made it even more enjoyable for us as the two interacted as if they were actually flying . The sim itself (the A320 on this occasion) was incredibly realistic and we would have no hesitation in returning.
