1. Check-In
On arrival to the Flight Experience™ store, present your personal boarding pass at the front counter. You'll be checked-in and introduced to your First Officer.
2. Meet your first officer
Our flight instructor is your First Officer. All of our instructors are real airline pilots who have been flying real Boeing 737 aircraft and have many years of experience.
3. Pre-flight briefing and flight plan
After assessing your level of expertise, your First Officer will help you choose your flight options and destinations. This includes a multi-media presentation and briefing video.
4. Boarding call
As the Captain (in the simulator), you will sit in the front left-hand seat while your passengers (friends) sit in the two jump-seats, directly behind you. Strap in with your 5-point seat harness and real aircraft headsets. You're almost ready!
5. Ready for take-off
Your First Officer will brief you on the primary controls and instruments and then you're ready for take-off! With a clearance from Air Traffic Control, you will advance the thrust levers and the aircraft accelerates down the runway.
6. Your flight experience
Your first officer calls 'rotate' and you will pull the control column back towards you and the nose wheel lifts off the runway. You’re airborne, and the flight experience really begins. It’s all so realistic – so much through that you’ll be convinced you’re in the sky!
