My son had the most amazing time! The staff were very friendly and put him at ease. He absolutely loved it and looking forward to his next flight!
Wonderful experience flying over Devon and controlling the plane
My son absolutely loved the experience and can’t wait to fly again! Thank you
My 15 year old twin sons were thrilled to receive this as a birthday present. Greg, the instructor, was brilliant in all ways. He was engaging, informative, funny and professional. The boys couldn’t believe they got to actually fly a plane!
Brilliant present for my husband - the instructor (Nick) was a great chap. Calm, relaxed and clearly very knowledgeable he enhanced the experience so much even taking my husband over our house! Couldn't fault him and would totally recommend!
Fantastic experience highly recommend
Had a really great session with Alex, he allowed me to have a lot of control once we were up. Really enjoyed the flight and will do it again.
Amazing experience, I don't know how it was to buy the experience but being given it as a gift was so simple and thoughtful absolutely amazing experience... cant believe i flew a plane all it took was three emails and it was sorted!!
Fabulous experience. The instructor Ian was fantastic, a very experienced pilot who made the flight really enjoyable.
Will definitely be returning for another trip.
Had an amazing experience, Very professional. Thoroughly recommended.
Absolutely amazing experience and I would recommend for anyone wanting to learn to fly
It was fabulous to get back in a little Cessna again. Almost flying vintage! As am I. Highly recommended. Thanks Peter.
Really enjoyed it, a very experienced instructor/pilot.
Everything was perfect. Had a great flight with a knowledgeable instructor. Would highly recommend
Superb experience for my 16 year old.
Had an excellent time. They gave me a really good experience, doing as much flying as possible from take-off to landing, and in the air for a really good amount of time. Highly recommended!
Very enjoyable experience all round. I was initially nervous having never been in a small plane before. However, the instructor was very reassuring explaining everything in detail about the plane and all the environment elements which also impact the plane's flight. After this I was really able to enjoy the freedom, different perspective and fantastic views the flight provided. Thank you
Turweston and those involved there are just brilliant. Could not thank my wonderful instructor more. What a great flight!
Great experience, highly recommended. friendly staff.
The whole experience was delightful. The little plane was lovely and the pilot friendly and reassuring. Very enjoyable.
I loved flying round the Spinnaker Tower.
Only complaint- it was hard to find as the sign was covered in vegetation.
Much better than I expected, staff were really friendly and helpful. Great flight, good weather and brilliant views.
Excellent experience. Nick was so informative, friendly and professional
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The little aircraft was fun and the pilot friendly and reassuring.
He told me where we were going to go and what we would be doing so that I was expecting the different changes of speed and altitude.
Excellent all round experience.
Could they please make it easier to find? we drove past 3 times ! .
Amazing experience would highly recommend
The guys at Welshpool were brilliant,was a great experience and son loved his flight,great cafe and clean and observed social distancing to make you feel at ease
I'd known that the take-off and landing could be tricky so was a bit nervous but also excited. It was a really great experience, helped by the fabulous weather. The instructor was great, put me at ease, explained everything well and was very patient. Would certainly recommend this to all my friends!
Just excellent.
Most enjoyable.
It was really amazing. The instructors were very friendly and made it fun and I would most definitely do it again.
Exceptional flying in a light aircraft that you could really feel respond to the thermals and slight pressure on the controls. The ground crew and instructor were all very knowledgeable, helpful and had a good sense of humour. the experience was so good I decided to extend my flight and had a brilliant time.
What a fantastic experience. Scary but at the same time most exhilarating. Brilliant pilot, thankfully, and ground crew.
Great fun and an amazing experience. Roger, the instructor/pilot was a gentleman and I both learnt a lot and enjoyed it equally.
A really great experience ... very knowledgeable and friendly staff and pilot... no fuss... ‘hands on’ from the start ... would highly recommend....brilliant
Brilliant flight, great people lovely little plane. Will be back.
A very exciting experience but felt safe with the instructors. Will certainly recommend to friends and family. Thanks.
Freindly welcome and a fantastic experience. Took control of the plane and flew right over Spinnaker Tower and Portsmouth Harbour. Would highly recommend Solent Flight for your first lesson. A wonderful present for me from my daughter.
A great experience well worth the price. Staff were friendly and informative. Will go back again.
Had an amazing time flying with solent flight. The guys were the best and made me feel like I had been flying for years. Will definitely be going back again.
It was very enjoyable and informative this is a great experience and cant wait to do it again the staff were friendly and very professional i would recommend this for everyone to try. The views are amazing i even saw where i live its just great.
Both myself and my significant other had a 30 minute flight experience for gifts which we booked with Solent Flight Ltd.
On arrival all the staff were very friendly and helpful answering any questions we had.
The flight itself was amazing with our route being over Portsmouth and the solent. The pilot Stewart was friendly and answered all questions and was even able to take over the controls.
Will certainly be looking at doing the hour flying lesson with Solent Flight.
Absolutely amazing and was surprised how quickly I was allowed to take control of the aircraft and just how far we flew. Completely relaxed and totally safe.
Good customer service. There was a delay with the aircraft but the instructor informed us in advanced
My son was given a flight experience for his birthday at North Weald. Due to weight restrictions he was up-graded to a 4 seater plane. When we arrived we found that the rest of our party were able to fly with him as there were spare seats. This was a fantastic experience in itself. Everyone at the flying school was friendly and very helpful. The pilot Martin was friendly and a very good instructor. I have not seen my son so excited in a long time he was still talking about it days later. We had a great day out and would recommend the experience to everyone.
Excellent service and Training.
I did 30 mins flight from North Weald Airfield. Beautiful mini-plane, friendly pilot and a lot of explanations on how the plane works. Enjoyed it!
Fantastic experience flew from Redhill. Pilot very good and told me what was happening at all times. recommended.
We where away for the weekend in Southampton so decided to use my flying lesson on route to our destination, it was first class, the pilot think his name was Andy was excellent , would highly recommend this to anyone
Absolutely fantastic experience. The staff at the flying centre used in Blackpool were amazing - very friendly and great to deal with.
I purchased a flying lesson for my other half for Christmas, he'd been eager to try this for a while. Booked in at Gamston Flying School, easy booking, availability and friendly. We got lost en route and were late, not a problem. My partner had a generous amount of time in the sky and came away visibly ecstatic with hopes of one day achieving his pilots licence via Gamston Flying School. Highly recommended A*
Fantastic flying experience. The guys were great at Kirmington and we had a brilliant time!
Very good instructor and a lovely flight! To be repeated
The whole experience was great, everything went well, and the instructor was perfect for a beginner.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Was definitely long enough and very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend.
Absolutely amazing! Would recommend to anyone!
The staff and instructors were so friendly and helpful
Thank you so much
Really enjoyable. Although only half an hour, if felt like a good amount of time.
Excellent day out. Reception first class pilot training first class would highly recommend the experience.
Very good. Smooth and easy , start to finish. Very friendly and would recommend. Will go back.
Had great day at Hull aero club Beverley Peter my flight instructor was very friendly and most helpful,before take off and during my test flight he was very informative in flight of what the gauges were for and i was also able to use all the controls and get the feel of how the aircraft performs and he explained everything to me as this was happening.
I had a test flight about 11yrs ago at another airfield,that was nothing compared to this one.many thanks,Peter !!!!
Great day had by all. Wonderfull experience all round.
Very good enjoyed the experience. The staff at Gamston air field we're excellent.
It was difficult to get in touch with Solent Flight to begin with but once it was booked their staff were all incredibly warm and friendly. You can tell that flying was everyone's passion and the instructor (I had Stuart) was absolutely amazing. Definitely worth making sure you get a good day weather wise but an unforgettable experience and I will definitely be flying again. Well worth 5 stars!
Fantastic, I have done 2 previous flying experiences. This was the best.
Great experience, unlike anything I've done before thanks to hubby. Instructor was friendly and put me at ease straight away. Cannot compare it to anything and would do it again and recommend it to anyone. Thanks.
Loved it. Friendly instructor made the day.
Very enjoyable and well organised
Excellent experience. Staff were very helpful and friendly and the instructor made the day fun as well as instructive .
Awesome day out with the family and, as the experience was a gift from my wife, I had to return the favour. So she had to fly as well, a surprise which she loved. My five year old daughter came along in the back of the plane as well.
In all respects first class
Incredible! I used to be an air cadet and due to bad health I had to leave earlier than would have liked to and didn't get the opportunity to fly! I received this as a present, and booked the flight for Friday on Wednesday! Quick and brilliant to be so close to home and fly and see where I live from above! Ian was great!
The day was easy to arrange and a fabulous experience. I would recommend to anyone who is thinking of trying.
Definitely a great day out.
Brilliant experience! The flight was a birthday gift and it was straightforward to book. A great idea courtesy of my family.
An amazing experience, got to fly the plane, and Stewart who did the lesson is a fantastic guy!
very good experience and simple booking process!
A brilliant day. Cannot praise the staff enough. The booking was really easy. My family was made really welcome. Really friendly, put me at ease, ran through the flight details with me, making sure I understood everything. Picked a great day to fly. I upgraded to a longer flight, which made it all the more worth while. I would recommend this to anyone, such an amazing experience. Well Done. From Paul Siddall.
The flying lesson was excellent, the club in beverley and they were fantastic. Very pleasant experience with friendly and helpfull staff. I would definately recommend going with them.
Got to the airfield,withybush,Haverfordwest quick cuppa at the very nice cafe yhen was met by the pilot dave who was brilliant.
i would and have recommended this as a pressie
The pilot put me completely at ease and explained everything in enough detail for a novice but not so much that it was overwhelming. I was also upgraded to a 4 seater aircraft which was brilliant. It has encouraged me to consider flying lessons. This was a brilliant first experience in a very safe environment.
I really enjoyed the the experience the flying lesson was great and the booking was made so easy and the staff on the day made me and my family so very welcome..
30 Minute Flying Lesson at Beverley (Linley). Was able to upgrade to a 4 seater plane, so that my son could be a passenger. The instructor, Michael, was patient and informative. Flew to Flamborough Head, over Bridlington. Excellent experience. Was blown away. Looking at doing some kind of follow up.
2 seater flying lesson in a (fixed wing) Cessna 152 at Coventry Airport.
When i arrived i was able to pay extra and increase the 30 mins to 1 hour flight time!
The instructor was great during briefing and during the flight. I had plenty of hands on time and felt reassured throughout.
Flying is a truly amazing experience :-)
It was brilliant and I'm actually thinking of putting in for lessons.
Whole experience from arranging booking to flying all very good
I had a fantastic flying lesson in a 2 seater plane in Turweston, Northants.
It was great fun and less scary than I thought it might be.
I would definitely do it again!!
Wonderful experience.
I would definitely do this again!
Things got off to a bad start when I tried to book a flight with a company near Stratford upon Avon. After numerous attempts to fix up a date eventually kicked them into the long grass and went with Compton Abbass Airfield. Found them very helpful and efficient and all went smoothly. Would recommend them to your organisation
Flight was a birthday present from my wife. Brilliant experience, instructor was very good, let me take controls over Silverstone, very informative and friendly guy. A lovely present
The actual flying experience was fantastic and if things had been more organised I would have given a 5. I was supposed to fly at half one but didnt get into the air until 3 o clock. Before this apart from the long wait when I got to the plane it looked as though it had seen better days. Whenthe instructor checked the oil the cap had been left off and there was oil everywhere and therewas no fuel in it. So eventually he radioed someone and they brought a decent plane over. It was a brilliant day spoiled by lack of organisation. I know it was extra busy due to the nice weather but surely they must know this and be more prepared for it.
I received a flying lesson for my birthday and had the best time. It was an amazing experience and everyone at Solent Flight were lovely. The instructor was brilliant and I can't recommend this experience enough.
First flight where I have been able to taxi, take off and land
I purchased a flying lesson for my nephew for his birthday it was excellent the whole process from booking to flying was so easy and professional well done
This flight lesson was a suprise for my partner. He got it as a gift and was really happy. We went on a flight together on four seater plain, so we watched each other piloting. The instructor was very friendly and explained what to do. I was great fun. I would like to do it again, and would also recommend it to my friends.
fantastic experience and a great xmas present or gift
Fab experience would highly recommend.
very enjoyable,would recommend the experience,first rate.excellent xmas present.
I received this as a present, the booking was easy and the staff friendly, my pilot put me quickly at ease and answered my many questions he demonstarted stalls and glides as well as a tight turn so I could experience a few G forces. A great half hour.
I got this as a present for my girlfriend and it was brilliant, we flew at Compton abbas and the staff and more importantly the pilot, were excellent. i was given the option to go up with her for the cost of day membership (£15) and so got share the experience (and take pictures) as well! thoroughly recommend and based on the smile on her face so would she!
Brilliant! !!!
Immediately put at ease by the pilot, got to take the controls for a short while and also did a glide which was fab. Didn't want it to end. Would definitely recommend
i bought it for my boyfriend for his 30th and he loved it! he wanted to book another lesson straight away. thank you for a great experience.
Just to let you know the gift was for my son and myself and five other family members went along to the airfield and we were all made to feel very welcome and when my son landed we asked if he had enjoyed the flight. His face showed he'd had a good time but his words summed up the experience even better 'Awesome'!
It was a great experience and has inspired me to become a pilot! by Jolan Evans
I was very apprehensive about my 30 minute flight. The pilot was very kind, and taking the controls was really exciting. The only part which was less enjoyable was the landing as there was some turbulence. I was disappointed that I did not receive a certificate, and that it did not count towards becoming a qualified pilot.
We bought an Into the Blue trial flying lesson for my stepmother's 85th birthday present. We were a bit apprehensive as we waited for her to finish training session. The pilot came out with her and they climbed into the plane. Wow! She loved it. Half and hour's flying lesson and she acted like a pro! She said "It was the best day ever!". The whole experience was thrilling. She said the good thing about it was the anticipation.
I went on a half hour trial flying lesson from Into the Blue and have since done more hours and I am now working towards my private pilots licence, so thank you Into the Blue!
Guest review from Review Centre
This is the second time I have bought a flying lesson from Into the Blue and recently got my Mum to order a flying lesson for my Dad too. My boyfriend and Dad have both been looking at taking more flying lessons,so there will be loads more flying lessons being bought in the future! I was impressed with the service and the value for money and all the information was very easy to read on your site.
It was amazing! I loved the session, the weather was perfect. Instructor was very nice and skilled, so I enjoyed and felt safe when piloting.
My son had a great time. Pilot was kind, friendly and helpful. Gave good advice on how to get started to become a pilot.
Fab experience and Greg was amazing very informative
Fabulous experience and Greg was amazing
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Paul, my instructor explained everything so even I could get the confidence to take control of the flight for a short while. Highly recommend this experience, whatever your age.
Great experience! I was handed control and given a series of manouvers to do to assess how I would cope very early in the flight. Absolutely loved it, to the point of I'm now starting proper lessons to become a Pilot :-)
Great place and location. Lovely people who enjoy what they do.
Absolutely fantastic 30 minute flying experience with Kevin Whitehead at Perth Airport.
I couldn't have asked for a better instructor.
Everything was smooth from booking through Elaine and the regular dialogue from Kevin to answer and questions I may have had.
They even arranged the weather and flew me over a route I requested.
I would highly recommend.
Amazing time in the air. Process was very smooth and would recommend. The flying instructor Mark was terrific and let me have the controls but we'll within the limits of safety
Fabulous experience Ian, thank you so much, I’ll be back to do a Jurassic one very soon.
Lovely morning flying over the Bucks countryside. Felt informed, safe and secure. Even got to snap a photo of my house

Amazing experience I would recommend it
Great experience on taster flight. We had a glorious sunny day so view from the cockpit was amazing. Andy the pilot was very pleasant and encouraging. Flying was certainly not easy but wouldn't have missed the chance to try, thanks to generosity of my son.

A brilliant experience. I changed my half hour flight to one hour. It was a beautiful evening, warm sunny with some clouds. To see south Devon in all its glory was indescribable. Ian, my lovely pilot, explained all the buttons, and obliged willingly to take me to Teignmouth, my home area. We Folllowed the Exe River to Dawlish Warren, along the coast to Teignmouth and along the Teign and right over my family home. Truly an experience to treasure forever in my 70th year!

Excellent experience and very easy to arrange. Just a phone call to one of the listed flight experience suppliers and everything was arranged. I chose Southwest Motor Gliders flying out of Dunkerswell Devon who were Brilliant. Got more than my allotted time and spent more than 50% of it taking the controls. Great day out.

My daughter bought me this voucher for my borthday and I chose to go to Mid Wales Airport. After a false start due to bad weather which meant they couldn't fly that day we rearranged the flight and second time around the weather was much better and I had a wonderful flight over mid Wales with Nick James who was a brilliant pilot and made me feel at ease, allowing me to fly the plane and showing me all the various points of intetest including Powis Castle and lakes Bala and Vernwy. It was great fun and worth the 3 hour round trip

Fantastic experience would recommend for anyone who likes to do something different.
A really enjoyable experience ! The friendly pilot was instructive and competent. He allowed me to take the controls for around 5-10 mins and was very relaxed with some of my less than smooth manoeuvres. It was a clear day so the views were amazing. Highly recommended as a short fun experience !

An excellent flying experience with ANT Flying Training at Blackpool airport, tutored by Russell. The flying club itself has a relaxed, homely and welcoming feel. A quick introduction to the Cessna 150 control surfaces, instruments and controls and off we went. Russell took care of the throttle, comms with ATC and trim while I was given responsibilty for altitude and heading. We were lucky to have a beautiful day with great visibility and only light wind. All in all, a wonderful experience.

A fantastic experience with Hal at V1, just a brilliant opportunity to get hands on and take the controls. I cannot recommend V1 highly enough. They were so friendly and put me at ease immediately. I cannot wait to fly again!
An amazing experience couldn't recommend highly enough even got to take over the controls for a short period. If your lucky enough to have the opportunity to have a go.... go for it. You won't be disappointed the pilot is so friendly and knowledgeable and puts you at ease.
