Learn to Fly a Plane Near Boston

What an amazing experience! Whether you want to potentially go for a pilot license or to check off a bucket list item, this is the place to go. Spencer was an awesome guy who had plenty of confidence to make you feel comfortable flying. He showed a lot of patience to someone who went into this fully blind of knowledge. You really do get the full experience and i would recommend this to anyone.

Great way to be introduced to flying! Stop reading reviews, sign up and fly!

Great

Out of this world! Highly experienced instructor and it was a great experience

Booking experience was a struggle. Start booking in June 2023 and booked flying experience only after long back-forth communication in November. The Flying itself was great.

It was awesome !!!

Ed was a great flight instructor and was a pleasure to fly with.

Mike was an excellent instructor and I learned a lot in just one session.

The Learn to Fly experience was terrific. It was fun and super informative. Our pilot instructor Mike was thorough, safe, and we cannot say enough good things about him. My son was the pilot and i got to fly in the back seat. The views were amazing - Mt Monadnock in the distance. We practiced maneuvers and my son was able to take the controls nearly the whole time. Thank you Mike and Virgin!

Knowledgeable instructor who patiently talked me through how to fly the Cessna. Lots of fun and very memorable.

Our learn to fly experience was amazing! I highly recommend.

It was amazing. I didn't think I would be allowed to take off and land but I was and it rocked. I'm dead set on getting my pilots license now!!!

I flew with Discovery fights with instructor Derek. I could not have asked for a better instructor, he was absolutely the best.

Had an absolute blast! Best present ever.

The instructor was fantastic and knowledgeable! I highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in learning how to fly!

Ed was really cool and takes the time to make you feel comfortable about flying the plane. Everything is always under control and you never feel unsafe (for those who are a bit scared). Overall amazing experience that I would recommend. I was able to take off the plane, fly it with the instructor directions and the landing was smooth. He gives you explanation of the machine, weather condition, and makes the whole process fun. That made me decide that I will try to get my Private Pilot License. To all airplane enthusiasts, and other curious people, I highly recommend this experience.

This was given to me by my boyfriend as a Anniversary gift since I love to Travel and fly and love the freedom of it and it was absolutely incredible! I loved being able to help with the takeoff and steer the plane around a bit! It was such a beautiful day! My instructor Tom was fantastic and answered all of our questions and was fun to talk to throughout the experience! I would highly recommend if you are a bit fearless and love to fly!

Great, really enjoyed it.

Everything that I dreamed it would be and more! Spent more time in control of the aircraft than I expected. Friendly and professional staff and instructor. Absolutely amazing experience that now makes me think I'd like to get a pilot's license. Do this one you won't regret it!

The experience was truly amazing. My instructor, Doug, was friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgable. Right from the start I could tell that he was very passionate about teaching. He kept me engaged and allowed me to really get a good feel for flying. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who has ever thought about exploring flying. It gives you a great overview and taste to get you hooked!

I would highly recommend this experience, WOW! It really really delivers, and Dwight was fantastic. HIGHLY, highly recommend.

It was a great experience, beyond what I expected!

Absolutely fantastic experience. I was expecting a lot and the experience was well above my expectations. Special note of thanks to my flying instructor, Rich. He was fantastic!

The flight lesson was so much fun, and our instructor was fabulous! We got extra time in the air, and he gave us a lot of say in where we flew. It's great that you can take a passenger with you. And this was wonderful, honest, reasonably priced. I cannot recommend it more highly!

AWESOME.

Exhilarating, and I learned a lot!

Everyone I interacted with was great: the pilot, the folks behind the desk, the employee who drove me over to the right place (when I showed up at the wrong one). Only thing was flight school had moved to a different office, and the instructions indicated 'Gate G.' But the gates were actually numbered, and the correct one would have been 'Gate 12,' I believe. I was a little late but still got an hour's worth of a flight lesson, which was really nice. Great experience!

Rich was a fantastic instructor, and I was extremely happy with what he let me do during the whole experience. He made the whole experience the best ever.

Dave (the pilot) was very informative right from the start. He explained how flight is achieved with the aircraft, plus all about the plane and instruments and how they work. We charted our flight path then did a complete check of the aircraft inside and out. Then into the air we went. What a rush! What a feeling to be able to actually fly the plane. Dave kept me at ease with his great instruction. It was a beautiful and clear day to experience my flight. Dave showed me local points of interest in our flight path, then it was time to land. The whole experience was wonderful! We had a great landing then taxied to do our post-flight check and secure the aircraft. If you haven't done this before, it's something you need to do. What a rush!

My pilot instructor, Dave, was absolutely fantastic. He was very thorough in explaining the working of the plane. He took the lesson very seriously, while also making me comfortable enough to have fun flying for the first time. I would do this again, and I will be recommending this experience to my friends and family.

It was fantastic! I really enjoyed the whole experience, and the knowledgeable instructor (Sam) made it a very fun few hours.

I chose this experience as a gift for my boyfriend. He enjoyed it so much. He even told me that this is the best gift he has ever had. Thanks!

Drew was patient and confidence-inspiring. He made me feel completely comfortable, as if there was no reason in the world that this middle-aged woman with no flight experience at all could fly a plane with no problems. Thank you for this bucket list experience!

This was a great experience. The people at Air Direct Airways were friendly and very knowledgeable. My husband absolutely loved it and would love to continue to take flying lessons. I would highly recommend this experience!! Thank you for an awesome birthday!

I gave the one-on-one, one hour flight as a gift. I called the 1-800 number to make the reservation and they were very friendly and helpful. The pilots and everyone else at the Nashua Airport were so WONDERFUL!!! I will definitely give this as a gift again. Such a wonderful gift and experience.

My two boys were extremely excited about doing this experience and it fully lived up to its expectations. They are already planning when they can fly again. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. Thank you

I was pleasantly surprised by how much the flight instructor left up to me as a student. I did everything except land. The experience was an unforgettable one.

Informative, exciting, educational, fun. Instructor was well informed, polite, attentive. Overall A+

Friends surprised me and I enjoyed every moment. Pilot was very knowledgable and made me feel at ease.

The flight lesson was amazing! Bill was a great instructor and I was very surprised by how much I got to feel like I was doing everything myself on my first time ever taking off, flying around, and landing. I hope to be able to continue taking lessons. I had always wanted to fly, but worried that it would be too complicated/overwhelming to be enjoyable, but that was not the case at all. Flight simulators can teach you what actions you should take in response to certain visual/instrument feedback, but once you get the feel of the controls, it's more physical than visual. Flying quickly started becoming as intuitive as putting your foot out or raising an arm to keep your balance.

Found the experience very exciting and interesting. Originally concerned about actually taking the controls, but knowing the instructor has controls as well, lets you feel comfortable actually flying the plane. I plan to treat myself to another flight experience next year.

I absolutely loved flying with Doug! He made my first time piloting a small plane memorable and exciting, I can't wait to start PP classes!

It was something new and different that I can tell all my friends about. You don't get to fly a plane every day and doing so was as fun as I had imagined.

Very good experience and impression. A little bit difficult to find the location of the flight school. In case of a next time, a clear description on the location with a map should be included in the booking confirmation.
