    Itinerary

    Step into the cockpit of a genuine Boeing 747 and take your seat in the captain’s chair! Your professional instructor will guide you through the controls before you take the aircraft into your own hands. Experience starting the engines, taxiing, taking off, climbing, cruising and landing, with the freedom to choose from thousands of airports around the world. Try different weather conditions, challenging approaches and even simulated in-flight situations as you discover what it takes to fly a Jumbo Jet. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore the attached 747 Business Class cabin and capture plenty of photos. No previous experience is required and the experience is open to all ages, making it perfect for aviation enthusiasts, families and anyone looking for something truly unforgettable.
