Enlightening experience
Had a very interesting and enjoyable session with Andrew. Together we made it to Salzburg and Hong Kong without too many problems. A fascinating look into the complexities of flying a 747.

Wonderful Experience
Loved it from start to finish. The only disappointments were 1) the tea we (my wife, daughter and I) were offered when we arrived at the venue never materialised and 2) I paid £40 for four guests and an additional £10 for insurance to cover any dropouts. One guest dropped out the previous day. However, even though we all chatted for about half an hour back in the office after the flight, no rebate was offered. Trivial I know but sometimes it's the little things that make all the difference.

Bring on the real thing.... one day
Great experience , having had a couple of proper flying lessons all beit in a much smaller plane. Was able to control the big bird B747 but it was much harder than expected... not a bad thing. Came out feeing like I had actually flown, get the grey matter working for sure.Would love to do it again, or even for real in a B747 but that wont happen so glad I managed this.Flew LGA-JKF & INN- SLA ... respect to those pilots that do this for real.

An hour with the queen of the skies
This could become addictive! Wonderfully helpful and patient team, superb instruction, super simulator. No motion but at least my observer guests did not feel the bumpy landings nor get sick and it does add a bit to the challenge. A great experience.

Fantastic 747 experience - best birthday present!
My parents bought me the 90 minute 747 experience for my birthday and I have to say, it's the best birthday present I have ever received! From start to finish the whole experience was fantastic!The 60 minutes absolutely flew by but was the most fun I've ever had. Even my passengers had a great experience and although the 747 is not motion censored, my mum nearly fell over when I was banking to the right. The day was topped off when Vic, my Captain, signed my certificate.

Flew it like Sully!
Flew my favourite plane, Boeing 747. Flew the same route as Sully just 250ft over the Hudson! Wow! Very good pre-flight briefing and then was flying with Vic, an ex-captain with many years’ commercial pilot experience who was very calm and explained exactly how to fly in very easy terms. He helped me the whole time and I truly learnt so much. It’s very Life-like, stimulating, interesting and fun all at the same time. Thanks for a fabulous couple of hours between New York and Lanzarote ✈️👍😀

Wonderful experience
Lovely staff, Dave was a fantastic instructor, very patient and talkative. They have invited me back at a discount and I can't wait to go again…this time on the 737 as it is a complete sim that moves on hydraulics

Super experience
Really enjoyed the experience at Coventry airport - very friendly welcome and just enough 'tech' so I could understand better. Kind pilot who made me feel I flew better than I'm sure I actually did!

Fantastic 747 Alpine Flying
A really excellent flight sim experience. Good instruction and information. Hard work with the wife and stepson in the back wanting me to crash.....but I didn't.It was a fixed sim. We took off from Innsbruck and having done a touch and go went on to land at Salzburg.

Amazing experience
Had a great time from when we arrived until we left . Great captin, very patient ,friendly and funny . However we did have picture taken before we took part in the experience, but on leaving we were not shown or offered to see or buy it.This however did not dampen the day and would defiantly recommend this experience well worth the money

747 Flight Simulator
Excellent experience. Very welcoming flight staff and a helpful introduction before take off. Instructor talked me through all the instruments and controls before attempting the first flight. Up/down when tracking the localise was a challenge but really enjoyed the flight around the Alps. Second flight from and back to Hong Kong easier as I had an understanding of the controls and the operation of the auto pilot. Still a challenge to keep on the glide path especially near the ground.

Great flight with Captain Dave Warner.
My first experience on a Boeing 747 simulator at Flight simulator Coventry. starting with 30 min training video explaining cockpit layout and operating proceedures.Climbing aboard the simulator cockpit with the captain and my wife as observer I settled into the right hand seat and readied myself for the flight to Salzburg. At this point Captain Dave handed control to me with keeping careful eye on what I was doing!!! Just like a real plane with virtual reality through windscreens. Great !!!

747 Flight simulator
Really enjoyable experience even though I came away shattered and with a headache due to the immense concentration. Very real feeling turning the plane and listening to all the warnings etc. Very helpful and encouraging Captain to instruct you during your flight. If it is on your bucket list then go for it. The only down side is that perhaps they could provide you with a video of your flight as a keepsake

747 Simulator
Enjoyable. Cafe upstairs and was able to watch light aircraft landing/taking off whilst waiting for session. The 30 min briefing video showing main flight controls and displays of the 747 would already be known with experience of Flight Sim. The 747 cockpit was impressive, I was required to sit 1st officer however an honour to share with a retired 747 captain, himself very patient! Slightly dissappointed with graphics, sound great, and the experience wasn't cheap making it more a one off.

It was all I expected a lot of fun. The guy in the simulator was great. He ran the show like a driving instructor gave me a feel in how difficult it is to fly a 747. A great day out.

Disappointing
Disappointingly little time actually flying/controlling. Way too much time spent chatting and setting up the systems pre flight, which, as this appeared to be the standard “flight” taken, should have been set up beforehand. For me, the first experience should have been more about the basics of actually controlling the flight not the set up of the computer. Didn’t think this was good value for money. Also, asking £10 for a digital photo printed on photo paper was again disappointing.
