Near Manchester

Voucher for 1 Person

20, 45, 90 or 120 minute options

  • Fly a real British Airways 747 cockpit
  • Choose your own flight path anywhere in the world
  • Feel like a captain with wraparound visuals
  • Perfect for beginners and aviation geeks alike

Take the controls of a real Boeing 747 and experience the thrill of flying the Queen of the Skies. Set inside the preserved top deck of a genuine British Airways 747-400 (G-BYGA), this flight simulator experience at City Airport, Barton offers a truly immersive aviation adventure – complete with wraparound visuals and authentic controls.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a budding pilot, the session is tailored to your ability. Your expert instructor will guide you through the basics before you take off and land anywhere in the world. Choose your own flight path – try a tricky Kai Tak approach, buzz the Golden Gate Bridge, or recreate the famous Hudson River landing.

Expect multiple take-offs, landings, and exciting challenges, all from the captain’s seat. The simulator blends realism with ease of use, making it accessible, unforgettable, and great fun.

Want to bring your crew along?

You can bring up to four additional people with you to share your session (for an extra charge, payable when you book). Split the flying time however you like – or, if they’d rather just enjoy the view, they can relax in one of the cockpit’s observer seats and soak up the action without taking the controls.

A perfect gift for aviation fans, thrill-seekers or anyone who dreams of taking to the skies.

Available in a range of session lengths – with the option to add extra flight time on the day.
