Flight Experience Sydney reviews
58Highly recommend it for life time experience. Booked a 60mins session and my Kid really enjoy the Circuit trip LA & Dubai Airports.
Great experience for airplane lover, kids could learn a lot of fly knowledge, will be rebook for extra experience.
I opted for the one hour experience on the 737-800 simulator on July 12,2022 at Ultimo/Sydney. Philip was my guide and was very helpful during the pre-flight briefing and the actual simulation experience. The simulator is real life with all the controls/gauges/instruments that exist on a real 737-800. The simulator is stationary - it does not tilt or bank. The views through the cockpit windows are simulated and reasonably clear. For those with no knowledge of flying, it can be fun but I feel that if you have some level of knowledge of flying (maybe gained on Microsoft Flight Simulator), then you can appreciate a lot more and take your enjoyment to the next level. I did two circuit flights at two different airports in the one hour. The one thing that detracted from my experience a bit was that some details were not being displayed on the Captain's (the seat on the left) PFD (Primary Flight Display). I was trying to use the ILS (Instrument Landing System) to land the aircraft but the DME and glide slope/localizer details were only visible on the First Officer's PFD (seat on the right) and not on my PFD. Other than that, it was a wonderful experience.
This was a gift for my 14 year old grandson. Overall a great experience. Prior to taking control a very comprehensive pre flight orientation by the instructor. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the professionalism of this organisation.
My son loves VR but he is only 6. This was the best opportunity for him to live his dreams and fly a VR plane. He crashed 5000 times, went around in circles and loved to look out his plane window. Very cool! The manager was awesome over the phone but my parents took him to the place.
Went there today, wanted to do this for years, so glad I finally did. Will return for sure! Highly recommended. I had no idea what I was doing but it was all explained to me. I still don't think I'd be very useful in an emergency but it was still so much fun.
From the great customer service with Aaron through the actual experience of VR flying, we had a fantastic time. Can't wait to come back with friends. Thank you Flight Experience!
Nothing beyond an arcade game with poor 3D effects. It was the worst experience we had- overpriced, rude staff making offensive comments.
Would not recommend. Waste of time and money.
My 12 year old son loved this flight experience. The instructor explained everything in simple terms, and was very easy to understand. Highly recommended.
Thanks guys for an amazing experience and (with hindsight) impressed the way the flying load was progressively transferred over the first three circuits so that I was almost able to stay on top of the situation for the last one
Amazing experience and the instructor was a real pilot! My husband loved his gift and whole family was able to watch him being the captain for a few minutes!
The Sydney team is simply great to work with, and the 737 simulator is a joy to learn from. The only critique I have is that the new version of Microsoft Flight Simulator actually has more realistic scenery, but it's more up to date, so understandable. But this simulator is much more realistic in feel.
It was very nice, I got to learn more about planes and stuff. The challenges were very fun as well, maybe one of them should be flying knife edge through Times Square. But thanks again for the experience.

Such a cool experience, and definitely not 'on the rails' like I was expecting. Highly recommend it for those interacted in planes and flying.
Bloody Awesome. My wife bought me this experience as a Birthday gift and I'm so glad that she did.
My instructor was Nick (a genuine Qantas pilot) on stand down due to covid.
Nick went above and beyond to ensure i had the best possible experience.
It's been 24 hours and I'm still smiling ear to ear!
An exciting and interesting hour, the fun was worth every penny. Nick my First Officer, (sorry Nick, Captain) made the experience challenging for my first time. If your in Sydney this place should be on your bucket list.
What a great experience but I think my instructor Nick is to thank really, he was so calm never lost his cool with me. I had a really great birthday gift
One of the best experiences of my life. A definite bucket list experience, althoughwould do it as often as I could. Nick, who was the 'real pilot' who took me.tjrough the experience was brilliant. Very patient, thorough, obviously knew what he was doing and really made the experience what it was. Great host Nick and thanks for a great flight, I'll watch out for the cross wind next time.
My co-pilot Ian was a great help from start to finish. The various airport options were thoroughly explained. With Ian's guidance I choose Sydney, Paris, Hong Kong and Queenstown airports for my wonderful flight experiences. The flying controls and operating procedures were fully explained before and during flight, when needed. The cockpit view was real and well know landmarks were visible in flight. In all, a wonderful simulated flying experience, which is highly recommended. David
Having done the 1 hour 737 experience as a gift I can highly recommend this to anyone. The simulator was great and my instructor, Nick was excellent. Really enjoyed it.
