About the experience

Young aviators, this junior flying lesson experience is made just for you! Suitable for children from age 8, it’s an exciting first flight designed to introduce budding pilots to the world of aviation. Your voucher includes a 30-minute flying lesson in a two-seater light aircraft, with departure locations available at a range of UK airfields, making it easy to find a convenient location near you. Each flight is treated as a first lesson, with a qualified instructor in the cockpit guiding the experience. The young aviator will fly alongside them as co-pilot, learning the basics of handling the aircraft in a safe and supportive environment. The highlight comes when the instructor hands over the controls, allowing the junior pilot to take the helm and actually fly the plane, a truly unforgettable moment they will always remember. Family and friends are welcome to watch from the flying school or clubhouse, capturing photos and sharing in the excitement from taxiing and take-off through to landing. An incredible gift for any child interested in aviation, this hands-on flying experience is a memorable way to inspire a lifelong passion for flight.
