Get your wings with our selection of flying lessons! If you've ever dreamed of being a pilot or just want to have a go at the controls an aeroplane, you've come to the right place. Lessons in how to fly are a big part of our heritage, as we are the sister company to the people who were behind the world-famous Biggin Hill Airshows.
With that sort of pedigree, it's no wonder we can boast one of the biggest and best value ranges of pilot schools the length and breadth of the UK.
You will be taking to the air in a modern light aircraft from a fully CAA registered flight school or training centre. Many use two seater aircraft such as the Cessna 152, whilst the most popular four-seater is the Piper Archer. Lessons in aircraft with four seats cost more, but it does mean you can usually invite someone to join you as a back seat passenger for your flight.

What Can I Expect
Chocks away for our full range of the cheapest flying lessons around the UK! These affordable 30-minute flight experiences are at a range of nationwide airfields. All flying lessons are ideal for beginners, both adults and teenagers, from the age of 14 years.
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 in the cockpit. Each introductory lesson 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. All of our low-priced lessons offer the chance to fly modern, well-maintained, two seater aeroplanes including Pipers and Cessnas. They are 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 gift for birthdays or special occasions.
With a wide range of locations around the UK, there's bound to be an airfield near you offering these affordable 30-minute 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 over the stunning countryside of the UK with our beginner flying lessons? Any would-be high flyer is sure to love the challenge of these best-value, 30-minute lessons.
Want longer in the air? Then take a look at our 60-minute flying lessons available nationwide . Dream of becoming a pilot? Go for our multi-lesson pilot experiences .
