You become a pilot for a day in our airliner flight simulator, a full-size cockpit replica. After a short briefing on the cockpit and the controls, you take the captain's seat and fly the plane yourself, with your flight instructor beside you the whole time. The package sets how long you're at the controls, and every minute is tailored to your level, from first-timer to aviation fan. No experience is needed, which makes it a great experience for families, friends and couples, and a gift people remember.

Right after your purchase. Your boarding pass arrives by email with a flight number and a booking code: enter them on our online booking platform and pick the slot that suits you. Why after purchase? Picture this: someone buys a flight as a gift and books a date without knowing the recipient's plans. That slot stays blocked, while another flyer was ready to go. Choosing after purchase keeps the calendar open for people who can actually fly. After nearly 15 years and more than 200,000 flyers, it's the system that works best for everyone. Have a special date in mind, like a birthday or an anniversary? We get it. Contact our team before you buy and they'll check the schedule with you. For the Pilot Introductory Program and the Pro Package, our team books your sessions with you over the phone after purchase.

Absolutely. It suits just about anyone, from a friend or a partner to the whole family or a colleague, and you don't need any of their details. Choose the center where they'll fly and check out, with no name or date to fill in. The boarding pass arrives in your inbox right away, with no name, date or price on it, fully transferable and valid for three years. They book the date and time that suit them, whenever they're ready. Zero hassle gifting.

On the Discovery, Duo, Escape and Extra packages, up to three guests can come along for free. They watch from the sofa at the back of the cockpit and can take photos and videos for personal use. Want two people at the controls? Choose the Duo Package. The Pilot Introductory Program, the Pro Package and the Fear of Flying Course are one-on-one with your instructor, without guests.

There's no strict minimum age. For the best experience and to reach the controls comfortably, we recommend a minimum height of about 3 ft 7 in, usually reached around age 8 to 10. But we welcome aspiring pilots of all ages!

Wherever you like. You choose your departure and destination with your instructor at the start of the session, among 24,000 airports worldwide. They don't have to be in your center's city: take off from your hometown, land on a tropical island, or try a famously tricky approach on the longer packages.

No. Our simulators are fixed-base, a deliberate choice for your comfort. Full-motion simulators are very costly, mostly built for airline training, and can cause motion sickness. A fixed cockpit keeps things comfortable and affordable, while the full-size cockpit, panoramic visuals and realistic sound make you feel like you're really flying.

No stress. Your boarding pass stays valid for three years, so there's no rush to book. Once you've picked a date, you can change it for free up to 48 hours before your session, and within the last 48 hours our team can still move it for a $69 fee. Changed your mind entirely? Refunds are available within 7 days of purchase, and since the boarding pass carries no name, you can also give it to someone else.
