  • Expert tips, stories, and aviation secrets shared

Take the captain’s seat of a real Boeing 747 cockpit – with a real Boeing pilot by your side. This exclusive version of our 747 simulator experience guarantees your session will be led by a commercial pilot who’s actually flown Boeing aircraft. It’s the ultimate upgrade for aviation fans eager to dive deeper into the world of commercial flying.

Set inside the preserved top deck of a genuine British Airways 747-400 (G-BYGA), this immersive simulator at City Airport, Barton delivers breathtaking realism with a 180-degree wraparound screen and authentic cockpit controls.

Your Boeing pilot will guide you through take-offs, landings and custom flight paths anywhere in the world – from the challenge of Kai Tak to the thrill of flying under the Golden Gate Bridge. You’ll get expert insight, real-world flying stories, and the chance to ask everything you’ve ever wanted to know about piloting one of the world’s most iconic aircraft.

Perfect for all abilities, ages 7+, and ideal for anyone who wants to experience aviation from the best seat in the house – with the very best in the business.

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.

The only simulator experience that guarantees a real Boeing pilot as your instructor.

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

What you need to know

What will I get? You will receive a voucher for one person to enjoy a Pilot Led Boeing 747 Flight Simulator Experience near Manchester

Anything I should know?

  • Accessibility: The cabin is wheelchair accessible, but the cockpit has limited space. To fly, you must be able to walk in and sit down unaided.
  • Age Limit: Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult (16+) who must book a second seat.
  • Children: Younger children may be required to sit on the accompanying adult’s lap or use a booster seat, and the adult is responsible for ensuring they follow all instructions given by the crew. Children should only touch controls, switches, and equipment in the cockpit when invited to do so and strictly in the manner directed by the instructor. In rare cases, where the instructor does not feel fully comfortable with a child’s seating position or ability to safely participate, or where suitable seating arrangements cannot be achieved, the child may be asked to enjoy the experience as a spectator only. The team will always act with safety as the top priority while ensuring an engaging and memorable experience for all.
  • Flying Assistance: Due to the cockpit setup, the instructor may need to assist with flight controls if needed.

How long do I have to book? You’ll have a total of 12 months from the date of purchase – 6 months to activate your voucher code, and 6 months from activation to book your chosen experience.

Can I exchange it? All of our vouchers are fully flexible. The recipient may swap to another experience if they don’t want the one that has been suggested.

How will it arrive? Our eco-friendly voucher boxes are available for £4.50 and will be sent via Royal Mail first class post. PDF e-vouchers are FREE and emailed shortly after ordering.
