AeroSchool is proud to offer premium trial flying lessons from Manchester Barton Aerodrome, one of the UK's oldest operational airports and conveniently located just minutes from Manchester city centre. Whether you're looking for an unforgettable gift, a unique experience, or your very first step towards becoming a pilot, there's no better place to discover the freedom of flight.
Experience the excitement of taking the controls alongside one of our fully qualified flight instructors as you fly over some of the North West's most recognisable landmarks. Depending on your chosen flight duration, typical routes include Manchester City Centre, Old Trafford, the Trafford Centre, the Manchester Ship Canal, Tatton Park, the Peak District, the Cheshire countryside, Liverpool Bay and the North Wales coastline.
Young aviators aged 7 and above can sit in the front seat and enjoy the full flying experience (at the instructor's discretion), while children under 14 simply need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, making it a fantastic experience for the whole family.
For those thinking about learning to fly, any trial lesson taken from the age of 14 can be logged towards a future UK Private Pilot Licence, making it the perfect introduction to flight training.
Gift vouchers are delivered by email within 24 hours, or by post within 3–5 working days, making them an ideal gift for birthdays, anniversaries or any special occasion.
