I got the 90-minute package as a birthday gift from my fiancée. I’m an avid aviation buff so being able to climb into a full-size 737 simulator was definitely something I looked forward to.
I’ve been flying desktop simulators for quite a while now so getting up and away was quite a breeze. My fiancée, on the other hand, had never “flown” before. Thankfully our instructor, Shannen, was extremely patient and took his time to teach her how to operate the aircraft controls. She managed a flight around Hong Kong airport and made a safe landing albeit on the grass next to the runway.
For myself, I started with a short simple flight around Dubai in clear skies, and did a take off and landing. Shannen said I was too good and ramped up the difficulty, giving me a lap round the old Kai Tak airport in stormy weather. We then did the infamous approach in to Paro, Bhutan where we had to fly the Boeing through a deep valley before landing. Finally we did another twisting approach into Rio De Janiero’s Santos Dumont airport.
So, 5 short flights done in 90 minutes. Totally worth it!

We initially went there for Singapore Flyer (again) without realizing that it is currently closed for repairs.
As our kids were disappointed, we tried to make up for it by bringing them inside the Flight Experience Shop.
We only had time for half an hour flight experience and our entire family of 5 managed to squeeze inside the cockpit with together with the co-pilot Ardel.
Both our kids managed to experience being a pilot and they came away feeling proud of themselves.
They they told us they were so happy that they could do that instead of Singapore Flyer.
Sometimes our second choice in life could be better than first choice !

I've been casually playing flight simulator games intermittently for years now and I love airplanes. I was supposed to go to SG for another purpose but it got cancelled due to COVID19 so I tried looking for alternative things to do.
I did not regret choosing to spend my time at Flight Experience. Max was a great instructor/co-pilot. He let me do most of the hand-flying while he took care of the other stuff to make sure our plane won't fall out from the sky like a rock! He also gave me feedback on how I can do it right next time as I kept on diving our plane on approach! I hope they've virtually fixed the nose gear by now as it might have broken in my hard landings.
I also brought with me tons of autopilot and FMC questions and Max addressed them and made sure I understood them. I can now play XPlane and FSX better when I get home.
After the experience, I had the chance chatting with him and his other colleague. It was fun to talk to people who fly planes in real life.
Everyone, from the reception to the instructors, were nice and accommodating. For a casual avgeek or enthusiast with no experience in flying a plane or using a really intricate simulator, I'd say I'm definitely satisfied with my experience at Flight Experience.
P.S. In light of the COVID19 situation, they have instituted measures to keep the virus from spreading. Even though you're not supposed to fly the plane with the doors open, they keep it open for better ventilation. The lady at the reception also sprayed the place with disinfectant from time to time.

An absolute wonderful experience for my 7 year old son. Captain Bobby was absolutely brilliant, a seasoned 747 pilot who runs some of the simulator classes. He was informative, patient and had a fantastic demeanour with my young son. My boy loved every minute of the experience, take off and landing in HK, Dubai and London, he's still smiling 10 hours later. He now wants to be a pilot when he grows up.

I would highly recommend the Flight Experience for anyone who is keen to know what it is like to fly a plane. Our co-pilot Mike was wonderful. My daughter is keen to be a pilot. Mike was very encouraging and spent time answering her questions. He made it fun for my son too. Shannon was a great host too. We had a lovely afternoon.

Thank you for a great experience and allowing me to fly to Europe and Hong Kong! My co-pilot, Shannon was a wonderful host and instructor. I now have such a fantastic confidence that I feel like can take my CPL test immediately and fly solo straight away. Keep up the great work guys and I certainly hope to fly the fighter jet next time, Cheers!

Everything was amazing. The instructions were clear, timing was good, the flight simulator was fully functional. I have nothing bad to say. Well worth the time and money to experience it. Both Alwin and Bobby were professional, courteous, and engaged.

Was yearning to come here for a long while now. Thoroughly enjoyed it, will remember for a long time. The VMMC-VHHH(intl)-VHHH(kai tak) was a great route to fly especially if you are in a group and have little time, and the approach was thrilling. Our first officer Shannon was very friendly and guided us through the whole thing extremely well. Only thing I would wish for is for myself to stay longer.

Hi I am Kealin and I just turned 9 yesterday. The flight experience was the best Bday gift ever. It was a surprise that I will never forget. Shannon, my copilot and Sam were both very helpful and kind. They treated me like an adult and shared the package prices when I asked. I am ready to go again for my next flight experience but my mum says only next year.
Mum asked me to also commend Jasmine for all her help in making this surprise a success.
Thank you and I will be back

Hi, does the cockpit also move just like real airplane when we move the control column?
Written 27 November 2019
No it is a simulation, you feel everything like in a real plane all scenery is projected in the screen in the front , but not obvious, it feels like a real time experience

Hi i intend to book half an hour package for someone as a birthday surprise. However i would like to know if i can join in the flight as a passenger? Will there be any extra charge? Pls advise.. thanks
Written 22 September 2018
Hi. there would not be extra charges as my mother was also sitting as a passenger. I booked the 45 min package.
Written 25 September 2018
If me and my girlfriend are coming and choosing a half an hour package, can both of us take turns and fly or is it only one person allowed to fly on one package?
Written 3 September 2018
I had a 2 hour session booked and they let both me and my wife fly. Not sure if that will apply to only a 30 minute flight but you can always politely ask your Captain.
Written 19 September 2018
For Walk-ins, you run the risk of the simulator being used by some other customer. So it is better to book ahead.
Written 4 September 2018
How many people are allowed to sit with the captain? We are a family of 5 so can we all sit with the captain ??
Written 29 April 2018
Thanks for your question and your interest in the Flight Experience. Two people can join you comfortably in the flight deck and enjoy the experience, one more seat for a third person can be added between the trainer seats in the back.
For a family of 5 plus the instructor the flight deck is too small and would get crowded, especially if they are all grownup. But not to worry, sometime members of the family sit outside in our lounge and follow the action on the live feed on the TV in the lounge while sipping their tea or coffee.
Should you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact our friendly Customer Service Agents

Hi i am coming singapore on 28june
I want to make advance booking for my three kids. Children package. Can you guide how to do so and which package to select for ages 12,9 and 6
Written 25 June 2017
If you email them direct they advise. You can then book and they will allocate a slot for you. I had the 60 minute one with 3 passengers sat watching. The pilot is good with all ages and will alter his instructions accordingly. You might want the family package so everyone gets a chance at flying
