It was fantastic, a real buzz! It was up there with when I took my car around a race-track.
-
Great experience, was very similar to the old microsoft flight sim games however with the added realism of being surrounded by proper instruments. Highly recommended for anyone interested in planes/flying.
-
Very good customer service as service provider of flight simulator explain clearly and patiently lead the novice participant to enjoy the session.
-
Great instructor, very patient given that I had not done this type of thing before. Had a great time.
-
Awesome experience, great instructor.....No lives were lost and all cities spared of a crisis.
-
The flight simulator was a Christmas Gift. The guys at Bankstown were excellent. There were two of us with a one hour session each & we were able to do it together.....we had a ball.
-
the experience on an A 320 simulator was fantastic and I enjoyed immensely. i have flown a great deal commercially and also as a flying doctor for around three months and the set up was excellent although the "pilot perhaps only momentarily was a little difficult to understand I soon understood him.The whole exercise was excellent and I thoroughly recommend it. It is not the first RedBalloon experience I have had and will not be the last
-
It was great.
-
The1 hour was fantastic but to short it was so much fun. You arrive and say hello and within a couple of minutes you have just taken off. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
-
Not only did I enjoy the experience - but it was a real eye opener as to what goes on in the cockpit in reality. Had agreat time and would recommend to others. Many thanks to our Trainer Philip Sasan Tayebi for his excellent explanation of everything and his patience. There were not too many buildings, passengers or runways left standing when this bloke was at the landing controls.
-
Was very informative and great to know I could make changes when the flight didn't always work.
-
Fanastic experience, great fun and would do it again!!!
-
The experience exceeded expectation. The instructor had a sound knowledge of aircraft and was generous with his explanations. To be able to take off and land in two very different airports was fantastic.
-
Life is too short so give any of the RedBalloon experiences a go - you've got nothing to lose. Go have fun
-
A great experience, if you like flying its a great way to see what happens 'behind the door'!

Thank you for asking for my experience with my flight last Wednesday 9th Nov 2011. It was absolutely tremendous, and exciting.

It was everything I had hoped for, and one of my life's ambition has now put me into wanting to do it again. My Instuctor was first class and left nothing to my imagination. Congratulations on having him on board, he satisfied my questions and I have an excelent idea of what it is like flying the real thing. Well done, and already I have told my adult children to do the same thing I did, also some friends who wanted to know all about it. You will be hearing from them shortly. Thank you for fulfilling my dreams about being a pilot.

Flight simulator experience was excellent. Pilot who conducted simulator flight was also excellent. He was very knowledgable and passed on this knowledge and his experience during the course of the simulator flight. You don't need to be a budding or wannabe pilot to enjoy this experience either. I'm 62 so a career as an A320 pilot has long since passed me by yet I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
-
Very enjoyable. I would love to do it again.
-
I loved my Sim experience. It was very realistic and much more challenging than I ever expected. The movement in the cockpit was unexpected and at times I did feel a little sick. The whole experience was fantastic and well worth the price.
-
I was really excited about the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very realistic and would do it again
-
Gives you a real look at what goes on in the front of the plane.
-
Best fun you can have with your clothes on.
-
Instructor was very friendly and session was not rushed.
-
A great experience! Keith was fantastic! So much fun! Only thing that would add more wow factor would be if the simulator moved as well as the screens but still an awesome experience!
-
The Flight Simulator Experience was excellent! I would recommend it to everyone and hope I can return in the near future.

-
The experience WA fantastic and the instructor was even better
-
Great experience. Very informative. Lots of fun. Gives a real insight into want happening up front in the flight deck when your flying. Love to do it again.
-
The flight simulator experience was excellent, educational, and thoroughly enjoyable. The staff were friendly and very competent. It's a pity my initial landing of the A320 was not as good as i had hoped but I am sure it wont be too difficult to get all the mud off of the wheels and undercarriage. : )
-
I enjoyed it very much the instructor was very patient
