Hey Londoners! Are you ready for an exhilarating flying lesson in London? Just a short 10-minute journey from North London, easily accessible within the M25 and even by public transport, our flying school is based at Elstree Aerodrome in Hertfordshire. It's the most convenient airfield for aspiring pilots in the capital and throughout the home counties.
The dedicated staff and instructors at Elstree have diverse flying backgrounds, from ex-military fast jet pilots to commercial airline pilots, aviation consultants, examiners, and experienced flying instructors. You can trust that you're in safe hands for your flying lessons in Hertfordshire. The vibrant flight training club near London houses the four-seater Piper PA28, the aircraft you will be piloting in this 60-minute lesson. With a side-by-side configuration and dual controls, you'll have a smooth transition when it's your turn to take the reins. Renowned as the best training light aircraft in the business, both aircraft are rugged and easy for beginners to handle. Despite being close to London's city centre, our airfield enjoys fewer restrictions, ensuring you can make the most of your flying time without waiting in a takeoff queue.

Fantastic experience and amazingly friendly staff. Very friendly staff and the instructor was very reassuring, supportive and funny. My boyfriend loved taking control of the flight and I thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures of the amazing views from the back seat. Highly recommended.

I was bought a flying lesson by my wife for my birthday. It was a very enjoyable experience, booking was easy and intotheblue were excellent when I called to make an amendment when I decided to take my dad as well. The provider was very friendly, efficient and made the experience very relaxing and fun. I would recommend intotheblue and the provider Flight Training London to family and friends.

Fully enjoyed the experience, the customer service was great at every single contact, before on and after the day. Only downside was the flight was late, but that didn't matter as we enjoyed watching the planes taking off and landing.

This is a difficult review as the booking was flawless and they were very reasonable about my diary changes. The instructor was great and put me at complete ease. The take off was fine and good fun, but the only problem is that I did not enjoy the rest of the experience at all. The cockpit is hot and cramped, but I guess that is light aircraft flying. If you don't mind that sort of thing then you will love it and I highly recommend the team at Elstree. If you turn as green as I did then its not really the experience for you or loved one. Overall I'm really glad I did it as how do you know if its for you, until you have had a go?

Very easy to make the booking with Elstree Aerodrome. Everything worked perfectly on the day for my grandson's flying experience. He had a terrific time and hasn't stopped talking about it since, and the rest of the family enjoyed an afternoon out at Elstree and the friendly cafe.
The flying instructor was excellent - reassuring, engaging and friendly.
