I tried Simsation ahead of my sim check for the airline job ... I got the job and cannot endorse these guys work more highly.
Malcolm, Montrose
I bought my husband the ultimate experience and they spoiled us with champagne, gourmet delights and a great flying experience. He absolutely loved it!
Melody, Glenorchy
The experience was fun and interesting. A great choice of flights, an easy-to-follow instructor, and the flight deck has to be seen to be believed. I had a ball!
Cheyanne, Howrah
I wasn’t sure that I could do it, but the instructor was great, and I was able to land safely in Innsbruck.
Maria, Lauderdale
The entire experience was brilliant. Landing at Kai Tak was incredibly difficult, but a thoroughly enjoyable experience!
Lindsey, Margate
I found the whole experience sensational. I will be back to have another go!
Jess, Claremont
I just landed the 737 in Honolulu. It was just like being there … the cockpit is so real and the whole thing had me believing I was actually flying.
Phil, Tranmere
I couldn’t work out what to get dad for his birthday! It took only minutes to organize this and it has been SO GREAT!
