Cranfield Airport Flying Experiences
Situated in the charming Bedfordshire village of Cranfield - also home to Cranfield University - is Cranfield Airport. Lying to the north east of Milton Keynes, and the south west of Bedford, its roots, like most of our airfields, can be traced back to wartime. It was farmland that was requisitioned by the Air Ministry in 1935, formally opening on 1st June 1937, as the strategic base of RAF Cranfield, two years before World War II. It was the base for both the No. 62 Squadron RAF and No. 82 Squadron RAF of No. 1 (Bomber) Group, initially flying the by then superannuated Hawker Hind biplanes. Within a year, they had made the switch to flying Bristol Blenheims instead.
Cranfield is now a lively hub for aviation enthusiasts, allowing both private passenger flights and aircraft owners, and flying schools, as well as Cranfield University's own aircraft, such as the Met Office research aircraft - a BAE 146 - operating under the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements.
Flying Lessons
With so much history as a base for aviation in Bedfordshire, it stands to reason that Aeroplane Flying Lessons are incredibly popular here at Cranfield Airport, particularly for those novice pilots who want to gain their wings as it were!
Currently, we have a 20 Minute Flying Lesson available to book at Cranfield, in a four seater Piper PA-28 aeroplane. It's the perfect aircraft to begin your flying career in - it's agile, responsive and very easy to get to grips with piloting.
And best of all, expert pilot instructors will be with you both before and throughout the duration of your session, offering you a full briefing beforehand and also guiding you and encouraging you as you acquire your skills guiding the aircraft through the air and making the most out of your airborne training!

Feel the exhilaration as you twist and turn through the air, leaving your heart racing and your spirits soaring. If aviation history fascinates you, our Vintage Flying Experiences are a must-try.

It's like stepping back in time and becoming part of aviation legend. For history buffs, our state-of-the-art Flight Simulator Experiences offer the chance to 'fly' legendary aircraft like the Phantom, Spitfire, or even a Messerschmitt.

Terms and Conditions for Cranfield Airport
Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.
Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).
In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.
If you have any more questions about Cranfield Airport gift vouchers and experiences please contact us.
