About the experience

Product ID: 17027

Take to the skies with a 30-minute flying lesson at historic Lydd Airport in Kent! Step into the captain’s seat of a four-seater training aircraft and enjoy the thrill of flight under the guidance of a professional instructor. Your experience begins with a short safety briefing and pre-flight checks, before taxiing down the impressive 1500m runway. Once cleared for take-off, you’ll feel the rush as the aircraft lifts off and the Kent countryside unfolds beneath you. From patchwork fields to charming towns and villages, the views from above the Garden of England are simply unforgettable. During the flight, you’ll get the chance to take the controls yourself—flying the aircraft under the close supervision of your experienced instructor. With 30 minutes in the air, you’ll get a real taste of what it’s like to pilot a plane while enjoying breathtaking aerial views. A fantastic introduction to aviation, this 30-minute flying lesson makes the perfect gift for aspiring pilots or anyone who’s ever dreamed of soaring through the skies!

An excellent service from the first call to purchase a voucher through to booking the experience. The day was perfect, the whole family were well looked after prior to and during my daughterinlaws flight experience. A totally enjoyable day.

Reviewed by: Sheila Pigram

We had a seamless and great experience from Into The Blue, where the whole process, from booking the flight, to attending the airfield and the flight itself was great. Cant recommend it enough to others thinking about taking introductory flying lessons.

Great day and my first flying lesson. Brilliant

Reviewed by: Philip Sanders

It was a once in a lifetime experience I had control for a lot of the flight besides the taking off and landing, I was also given control during the taxiing of the plane before the take off and after the landing. This being said the bad weather arrived as we got into the skies and I was still given control which added to the experience. Would recommend this to anyone who has the dream of flying.

Reviewed by: James

i thought i would literally take the controls for a few minutes. Apart from taking off and landing, the rest of the flight is in your control. An amazing experience and thoroughly recommended.
