2 Hour Fear of Flying Course
Every fear of flying is different. We begin by listening to your experiences, what specifically worries or triggers you, and what you hope to get from your time with us. You set the pace throughout.
The cockpit and simulator are available if and when you feel comfortable exploring them, but they are never compulsory. Many guests spend their entire session talking through concerns, demystifying sounds, or simply becoming comfortable sitting inside the authentic 747 passenger cabin.
🎯 What We Can Explore During Your Session
Your instructor will work with you to focus on the areas that matter most to you:
👥 Support Companion & Attendance
Support Companion Included: This session includes 2 people in the base package, so you are warmly encouraged to bring a partner, friend or family member to sit with you throughout your session at no extra charge.
Venue Location: Sessions take place inside our real ex-British Airways Boeing 747-400 G-BYGA at Barton Aerodrome, permanently static on solid ground.
Age Policy: Recommended for ages 12+. Participants under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult (aged 18+).
♿ Physical Accessibility & Aircraft Layout
There is wheelchair ramp access to the main hangar floor, cabin deck area, and aviation shop.
Flight Deck Access: Due to original Boeing 747 cockpit door width and airframe layout, wheelchairs cannot enter the flight deck itself. The transition into the flight deck involves two small steps, approximately 3 inches high each. Access to the passenger cabin and lounge area is flat and ramped.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to fly the simulator? ▼
No. Your session is shaped entirely around you. You can spend your time talking, sitting in the real 747 cabin, exploring what concerns you, visiting the flight deck or using the simulator if and when you want to.
What if I feel uncomfortable or need a break? ▼
There is no pressure to progress faster than you are comfortable with. Your instructor will work entirely at your pace, and you can pause, step out, or take a breather whenever you wish.
Can I bring someone with me? ▼
Yes. Your session includes 2 people in the base package, so you are warmly welcome to bring a friend, partner or family support person to accompany you.

Under-16s must be accompanied by a booked, paying adult (aged 18+). Because an adult (18+) is occupying one of your 2 included places, no extra adult guest charge is required.
All participants under the age of 16 must be accompanied in the cockpit by a booked, paying adult (aged 18+). Because all 2 included places are occupied by under-16s, you must add an accompanying adult pass on the next step (subject to our 7-person maximum).
