Great Oakley Airfield Flying Experiences

Situated in the picturesque farmland on the East Coast of England, towards Harwich in Essex, this airfield is an excellent base to jet off from to explore East Anglia. The airfield boasts two grass runways and three large Hangers, one especially used for Microlights. Only 5 miles out of the old town of Harwich, embark on a Flying Experience like no other right on the South East Coast.

Flying Lessons

Experience the life of a pilot with some hand on experience at Great Oakley, offering 60 minute to three whole hour Flying Lessons. Led by expert pilots, these lessons make for a perfect present for the budding pilots in your life. Covering the basics of flying much like a driving lesson, your instructor will handle both take off and landing, bringing you to a level flight, then handing the controls to you! Taking off in a fixed wing, two-seater light aircraft, you'll be shocked by the simplicity of the controls and reliability of the craft. As an added bonus, all lesson time can actually count towards a Private Pilots Licence (PPL) so if you happen to catch the flying bug, you can continue on to become a brilliant pilot. For those more interested in rotary aircraft, why not head to the iconic Goodwood Aerodrome, where you can learn to fly an Executive Heli with one of our Helicopter Flying Lessons.

Terms and Conditions for Great Oakley Airfield

Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.

Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).

In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.

If you have any more questions about Great Oakley Airfield gift vouchers and experiences please contact us.
