What Can I Expect
Chocks away for a full range of cheap flying lessons around the UK! Become master of the skies with affordable 30 minute flights at a range of nationwide venues, piloting a plane over some of the most stunning locations in the country.
If you’ve ever dreamed of flying your own plane, then these best value half-hour flying lessons are a low-cost way to get your first taste of cockpit success. Each session includes a safety talk, where your pilot will explain the basic techniques for flying a plane. Once you’re safely up in the air, you’ll get the chance to take over the yoke and pedals to fly the plane yourself!
The light aircraft you’ll be using depends on the airfield and flying school that you opt for, but all of our low-priced lessons offer the chance to fly modern, well-maintained two seater aeroplanes including Pipers and Cessnas. They offer a much cheaper alternative to larger aircraft, which often incur higher lesson prices due to increased operating costs.
Your flight gives you the opportunity to begin learning a totally new skill as well as offering exceptional value for money. As they’re suitable for anyone over the age of 14 (although some weight restrictions can apply) they make for a great present for birthdays or special occasions. And with a wide range of locations around the UK, there’s bound to be an airfield near you offering these affordable flight lessons.
They’re also a cost-effective way of finding out if becoming a pilot is something you’d be interested in. If that’s the case, then it’s worth knowing that your flying lesson counts towards your air hours should you opt to pursue a PPL (Private Pilot Licence).
So why not give someone you love the gift of flight and let them spread their wings over the breath-taking countryside of the UK with our cheap flying lessons? We’re sure that any would-be high flyers are sure to love the challenge these best value lessons offer.
