Vintage Plane Flights & Experiences

With all the modern technological advances in aviation over the last 30 years, sometimes we forget to appreciate the beauty of flight and the origins of this magnificent accomplishment. In order to rectify this, Buyagift has put together a superb selection of vintage flying experiences where you'll be able to have a flight in some of the most iconic aircraft from bygone eras.

Types of Vintage Plane Experiences

This fantastic selection of aircraft consists of anything from Tiger Moths and Chipmunks to Spitfires. This is a great birthday gift with plenty of different flying options available to everyone, including how to fly like a fighter pilot (perfect for any WWII Battle of Britain enthusiasts).

Vintage Plane Experiences

Most of the aircraft used for our experience days were once used for flight training by the RAF, so you can really get a feel for what it was like to learn to fly in days gone by. You'll experience just how the pilots first felt when they took to the air before they were experienced enough to go on the various missions that they would later encounter.

London from the sky

The venue is superb because of the opportunity to look around the museum before hand. However, the initial checking in experience was chaotic and unorganised. Everything beyond this point was superb. The pre-flight info and flight it’s self were excellent and the route over London was stunning. Having expected the flight to skim around the outskirts of our capital, I was pleasantly surprised to fly directly over all the city’ Famous landmarks. This package is exactly as described and for a world war enthusiast and patriot, most enjoyable indeed.

Superb day

Absolutely fabulous day. The whole team were very professional throughout. No long waiting session beforehand. They responded quickly to any correspondence and were polite and engaging. The pilot was more than happy to answer any questions and to show us the sights of London. Myself and my wife loved it! Highly recommend.

What a day!!!

Honestly... WOW!!! I cannot recommend this enough. If you are new to aircraft or like me have played thousands of hours on a flight sim, then you need to do this!! The team were amazing, they really make you feel like the pilot you have always wanted to be. I went up with Andy and we were each others made flight (the first time I have ever sat behind the controls of an aircraft and the first time Andy had taken anyone up) and honselty if you can book, call for Andy!! It was an amazing experience and I can't wait to go back and do it again. There is nothing compared to pulling your own Gs and feeling your face melt!! Highly recommended ???? would suggest you buy the video after as well, the family will love laughing at you droopy face you when hit 6 times gravity!!
