Will I have the cockpit to myself?

Yes, you'll have the sim to yourself (and your guest if you choose to bring one). You'll be at the controls the whole time.

Will I have control of the simulator for all of my flight?

Yes! But with the assistance of one of our pilot instructors. If you have some experience with flying or flight sim games you will probably be in control of the sim for the whole time.

Is the simulator really "full motion"?

Yes, this is a true full motion simulator capable of accelerating you at over nine metres per second, per second in all six degrees of motion. There's very little difference between what you feel in the sim and a real 737!

From / to any current airport. Our flight simulation software has a database of over 24,000 airports, although some airport and scenery areas are more detailed than others.

What happens during my flight?

There is no limit to what you can do during your flight: take-offs, landings, circuits, bad weather, engine failures, even stalls, all in complete safety of course. Just let us know what you'd like to experience, and we'll tailor your time in the sim so you can get the most fun out of it.

Q: Can I share the experience with friends or family?

Yes! There is no charge for bringing a friend who can sit in the jump seat. We recommend limiting the cockpit to three people including the instructor.

Our full motion professional level flight simulator will put you at the controls of a Boeing 737. Not only will you get to see what it's like to fly a commercial airliner, but with 6-axis full motion you'll get to FEEL what it's like too. Right from the moment you taxi along the runway, you'll feel the runway bumps and, once you're airborne, the weather conditions too!

What an amazing experience. As a lover of aviation and someone who is fascinated by planes, this experience was unbelievable. I’m so glad to have had Mats the pilot teach me as he was so knowledgeable, patient, a great instructor and most of all unbelievably friendly.

The experience was incredibly realistic, far exceeding my expectations. The instructor was excellent—calm, informative, and made the session engaging and enjoyable. Every detail was spot on, making it feel like I was in a real cockpit. If you're an aviation enthusiast or just looking for a unique experience, I highly recommend JetEx.

Our Full Motion Simulator

Our pro-level full motion flight simulator has fully simulated 737 systems allowing for startup, shut down, and emergencies to be realistically simulated.

With an 18-speaker immersive audio environment (that places all the sounds and vibrations at the right places in the cockpit), and powered by 8 extremely powerful computers this is the most convincing simulator you can fly outside only the newest airline training centres. With its up-to-date visual graphics, this simulator is more convincing than many of those too - at half the hourly rate.

About the Flight Simulator Experience

Booking & Pricing

For Pilots & Aviation Professionals

A flight simulator experience puts you in the cockpit of a commercial aircraft and lets you take the controls under the guidance of an experienced instructor. At JetEx, that means sitting in a real Boeing 737 cockpit — complete with real controls with force feedback, full-motion 6-axis movement, and real cockpit audio — and flying real routes to real airports. Unlike a video game or a simple desktop sim, a proper full motion flight simulator experience replicates the sights, sounds, and physical sensations of flying a commercial airliner.

JetEx operates the UK's only public-access full motion 6-axis Boeing 737 simulator. Almost every other flight simulator experience in the UK uses a fixed base simulator — meaning the cockpit does not move. JetEx's simulator is mounted on a Moog motion platform with six electric actuators. You physically feel the take-off roll pushing you back in your seat, the lift-off, turbulence bumps mid-flight, and the touchdown on landing. No other UK experience provider offers this level of immersion to the general public, the JetEx 737 is in a different class.

JetEx offers sessions of 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes, you are at the controls for the entire time. 60 minutes is the most popular session for first-time visitors — long enough to master the basics of take-off and landing without feeling rushed. The 120-minute session is ideal for aviation enthusiasts who want to explore multiple airports, practice instrument approaches, or experience more demanding weather scenarios. Time in the sim goes very fast!

After a briefing from your instructor, you'll take the left-hand seat — the captain's position. You'll take-off, fly a route, and attempt a landing. Your instructor sits in the first officer's seat throughout, assisting with checklists, and helping you get the most from your time. Sessions can be tailored — some customers prefer to focus on landings; others want to experience crosswind approaches, night flying, or storm conditions.

Yes, with some age and height considerations. Children who are at least 12 years of age and tall enough to reach the controls and see over the instrument panel are welcome. We may accept younger children if they have a very keen interest in aviation. We recommend a minimum height of around 140 cm for a comfortable experience. Younger visitors must be accompanied by a parent. Please contact us before booking if you're unsure, and we'll advise based on your child's age and height.

The simulator can be a powerful environment for gently confronting flight anxiety in a safe, controlled setting. We offer a dedicated Fear of Flying Course hosted by an airline pilot, that is specifically designed to address flight anxiety in a structured format. The simulator accurately replicates all aircraft movement so you can experience an entire flight including turbulents, while always in control — you can pause or end the session at any time. See our Fear of Flying course for details.

The experience is not physically strenuous. You sit in the captain's seat throughout and control the aircraft with a yoke (control column) and rudder pedals. It can be a bit of a tight squeeze to get in though, so you must be mobile and able to support your own weight. The full motion platform moves the entire cockpit smoothly — you will feel realistic G-forces and motion, but nothing that would be uncomfortable for anyone in normal health. Customers with certain medical conditions (recent surgery, severe heart conditions, or serious motion sickness) should consult us before booking.

From / to, or around any current airport. Our simulation database covers over 24,000 airports worldwide. Popular choices include Heathrow (EGLL), Bristol (EGGD), Amsterdam Schiphol (EHAM), Innsbruck (LOWI — famous for its challenging alpine approach), and Gibraltar (LXGB — one of the most dramatic runways in the world). Some airports and scenery areas are more detailed than others. Your instructor will recommend routes based on your session length and experience level.

Yes, assuming you both have some experience with either real world flying or PC based flight simulators, you can fly the sim together as a crew with a member of the JetEx team operating the instructor station at the back for you. We will need to assess your abilities individually (flying with an instructor) before letting you fly the sim as a crew to ensure the safety of the session. On very rare occasions it may not be possible to have a guest join you in the cockpit for technical reasons- e.g. if a JetEx staff member needs to operate the sim systems from the jump seat to facilitate a session, in this situation your guest can observe your session from the lounge.
