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.

Fantastic gift
Brillant experience. Pilot/Instructor was superb explaining how it all worked and allowing me to fly the microlight for a short while. Happily do again and would recommend to all.

Amazing Gift Experience
Had the best experience ever always wanted to learn to fly and what better way to start than in a WW2 trainer plane. All the staff and ground crew were very friendly and insightful and the pilot was very friendly and chatty. I was able to take control of the plane for around 20-30 mins and loved everything minute of it on the way back to Duxford the pilot even showed off a little doing an acrobatic manoeuvre which was an experience. I would highly recommend this gift to anyone who loves planes and aviation in general.

My son is so excited
Dealing with Buy a Gift has been really easy. I had to extend my son's voucher due to family circumstances and it was no problem. Thank you.
