Experience the excitement of flying without leaving the ground in our state-of-the-art 737 simulator located at Blackpool Airport. This is your opportunity to take command of a Boeing 737-800NG passenger aircraft on a realistic 30, 60, 90, or 120-minute flight session. Whether you're curious about flying or a seasoned pilot, this experience caters to everyone.
Our simulator, nestled in Hangar 8, is developed by commercial pilots at one of the UK’s leading flight training schools. You can even fly in for your session if you own an aircraft! It’s a unique chance to mingle with like-minded enthusiasts while you take to the skies from your own cockpit.
The simulator offers an incredibly lifelike setup, meticulously designed with high-quality materials to replicate the authentic sounds and sensations of a real flight. Experience the engine vibrations and hear everything from the roar of the jets to the familiar 'ping' of the seatbelt sign as you prepare for takeoff. The stunning imagery from the 220-degree wraparound screen will make you feel as if you are really soaring above the clouds.
As you settle into the captain’s seat, you'll discover that over 24,000 airports are programmed into the simulator. Whether you wish to fly from Blackpool to exotic destinations like the Bahamas, you'll find a variety of popular routes available. These options are not only enjoyable but also deliver stunning graphics that bring each destination to life, right down to the bustling activity of the airport grounds.
And here’s something special: our setup includes two rows of cabin seats, allowing up to five friends or family members to join as passengers on your thrilling flight. With Blackpool being an active airport, the overall experience is made even more exciting. Just a short distance from the famous seafront, this is an adventure you don't want to miss!
