Flying Experiences in the South East

Experience the exhilarating thrill of private flying across the South East of England during your own introductory flying lesson. Take the controls of a light aircraft under the supervision of a flying expert and learn some basic manoeuvres during the 30-minute session. Alternatively, you could take a 60-minute lesson from a skilful and knowledgeable instructor that could get you truly bitten by the flying bug.

For the more adventurous flyer why not make the most of an acrobatic flying experience. The pilot will take you through a whole acrobatic sequence and even invite you to take hold of the controls. This experience will surely allow you to sample the thrills of flying loops in the air and have you imagining that you're part of an acrobatic flying display. Alternatively you could soar through the sky like a bird in a micro light and enjoy the views at closer proximity.

More sedate adventures can be had rising gently in a hot air balloon while sipping champagne and watching the beautiful scenery of South Eastern England go by. Why not treat your other half to the breath taking views and sunrise over one of the home countries?

Great gift

I recently purchased this as a gift for a plane trip, and it turned out to be a great choice. I really liked that you could add a pre-selected extra for an additional charge it was optional, of course, but it definitely enhanced the overall experience and made the gift feel more special, almost reminiscent of something out of Fifty Shades of Grey. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would absolutely consider purchasing again. I’m looking forward to using it.

3rd time lucky

After 2 attempts in the summer, cancelled due to poor weather conditions, it was 3rd time lucky. The staff were very friendly and helpful on all occasions, and apologetic when cancelled. The flight was smooth and interesting, going over the sea, over a castle and grounds etc. About 15 minutes into the flight, you take over the controls, under the guidance of the pilot.

Great time

Had a great time flying over London, pilot was very good talking and pointing things out and the staff on the ground was excellent. Well worth it.

Great Concorde Experience

It is well worth visiting Brooklands Museum just to see experience the history of the site as a motor racing iconic site and its aviation history. The Concorde experience is the icing on the cake and is very enjoyable and informative thanks to the excellent volunteers whose enthusiasm and knowledge really enhanced the experience.

Lovely afternoon tea

Staff were very helpful and accommodating at Caffe Concerto. Delicious sandwiches and a good variety of cakes. Was way too much for two people to eat so they kindly boxed up the leftover scones and cakes for us to the home. The only issue I had was the original gift voucher was for an afternoon tea at Harvey Nicks and this was impossible to book - there was no availability at all and the buyagift team were no help at all so in the end I exchanged the gift for afternoon tea at Caffe Concerto. For this reason I would highly recommend Caffe Concerto but not buyagift as they were no help at all when I needed it.
