Help Me Choose Your Flight Simulator Experience

Whether you're booking for yourself, buying a gift, or finally trying something you've always wanted to do, this page will help you land on the right experience.

Every JetEx session puts you in the captain's seat of a real 737 cockpit, guided by a qualified pilot instructor from take-off to landing. No experience is needed, so the main things to decide are simply how long you'd like at the controls and what you want to get out of it.

How to decide

If this might be your first simulator session, a shorter session is a great introduction, while longer sessions give real enthusiasts the time to fly multiple routes and try different scenarios. If your reason for coming is more specific, such as easing a fear of flying or preparing for a flying career, one of our courses may suit you better than a standard flight.

If you are buying someone else, they may appreciate a Gift Voucher. These are valid for 3 years, and allow the voucher holder to book their own experience whenever they might like.

Below you'll find a breakdown by who the experience is for, a guide to session lengths, and a quick comparison of what sets a full motion simulator apart. Still not sure? Tell us a little about who's flying and we'll point you the right way.

How long should your session be?

From the moment the air bridge was secured and the door closed, I was completely immersed in my flight deck experience... it’s created memories that will last a lifetime … thank you!

The simulator itself felt incredibly realistic, which gave us both a whole new appreciation for what pilots do. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Fantastic. Everything meticulously explained and very clear instructions on how to control the aircraft. It is very hard to remember that this isn't real, the experience is so immersive.
