Flight Experience FAQs
Flight Experiences
Some commonly asked questions..
A flight experience with Glasgow Flying Club is an amazing experience that not many people get the chance to do for themselves. So, naturally there are a lot of commonly asked questions..
Hopefully this page will answer some that you may have. If not, feel free to get in touch!



Where can we FLY?
Whilst we have put together some suggested routes on our web store, we are more than happy (where possible) to be flexible providing that your request is possible within the time restrictions of the purchased voucher.
It’s worth noting that for operational reasons, we may have to alter the route booked. Reasons for this can include weather conditions and temporary local restrictions imposed by Air Traffic Control etc.
How old do you need to BE?
There’s no clear answer on this. Generally, we suggest that if you’re old enough to sit up front of a car, then you’re old enough to take the controls of a light aircraft.
In our experience, children aged 10 and over are old enough for an experience flight.
In terms of back seat passengers, the minimum age we would generally recommend is 4+
How long is the voucher VALID?
Vouchers are valid for 6 months from the date of purchase.
We would suggest not leaving it to the last minute as the great Scottish weather often throws a bit of a spanner in the works and requires bookings be rescheduled.
How should I DRESS?
All we suggest is that you dress comfortably and bring a jacket ..just in case!
Do I need to bring ANYTHING?
We will provide you with a high viz jacket and a headset so that you can communicate with other passengers and can hear ATC from the commercial jets/other traffic that operate in and near Glasgow AIrport.
Can I take PHOTOS?
Absolutely.
We love seeing your pictures and videos, so be sure to tag us on social media if you do!
How do I BOOK?
When you make a purchase, you are purchasing a flight experience voucher. These vouchers are emailed in PDF format automatically after your purchase has completed. You are welcome to print them if you wish.
Vouchers can be redeemed immediately (if we have availability) or at any point within their 6 month validity period. Whilst vouchers are valid for 6 months, we always recommend booking in sooner rather than later as it’s not uncommon for poor weather to prevent us from having to reschedule a pre-booked experience.
Get in touch with us to arrange your flight – don’t forget to include the voucher number in your email.
