Ever wondered what it’s like to be an airline pilot? It’s easier to get a taste of this high-flying lifestyle than you might think, with a range of experiences giving you a taste of the basics of learning to fly.
You don’t even need to leave the ground as ultra-realistic flight simulators give you the opportunity to learn all the skills in a completely safe environment. But, make no mistake, as you sit at the controls during these flight simulator experiences, you’ll really feel like you’re taking off and cruising thousands of feet above the earth. Whether it’s as a first step before you learn to fly for real, or just as an exciting one-off adventure, it’s time well spent and a lot of fun.
Most experiences include expert instruction to guide you through the process, a detailed pre-flight briefing and the chance to select your journey, with real airports to take off and land at. Talking of landing the plane, this is sure to be one of the most thrilling and nerve-wracking parts of your flight.
So, where will you fly to? It could be your local airport, or somewhere like Hong Kong. Or even Paro's short, 17,000ft peak-surrounded runway.
