This was the best present that I have ever received. The whole experience is amazing and Tom, the instructor, was just brilliant providing an insight into the thought processes of an airline pilot, the multitasking involved and being ready for anything that may come from leftfield. Just an incredible experience Ill be going again and Ill be buying for my family.

Yesterday I used my IntoTheBlue gift voucher at Blackpool Airport on the 737 flight simulator, it was an experience I will remember for ever, the instructor was excellent, he was obviously very knowledgeable and explained everything in a way I understood, the flight itself was so real and lifelike, I have already recommended this to members of my family and to friends.

A birthday present from my girlfriend and what an experience it was. I really did not believe how realistic it was, at one point in the flight when we banked hard to the left I had to convince my self we where still on the ground. Both pilots who helped me through the whole process where professional throughout and made it an experience I will never forget would gladly recommend to anyone. Thank you it was fantastic

My wife treat me to the experience of flying a 737 at Blackpool airport, and to be honest it was one of the best things I have ever done.My instructor was patient and very informative which made the experience even better, and I was immediately put in charge of flying the plane after an explanation of the controls and a briefing video. Make no mistake, this is exactly like the real thing.I flew to, and landed at, Manchester airport and then made a return flight back to land in Blackpool. Just great, apart from having to attempt a clean landing 4 times until I got it right.Although I put solo below, you can take along a couple or more people who sit behind you in the simulator.
