Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very realistic flight sim with lots packed into the hour that we had, starting with push-back from the gate, taxiing, take-off, cruise and landing. The experience was for my son who's 9, guided by a very friendly, knowledgeable and patient instructor (thankyou Tom). The flight sim is in one of the hangars next to Blackpool Airport. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in aircraft or who wants to see what it's like to be a pilot!

Thanks for the kind review Jason, it was a pleasure having you visit us at 737Pro/Westair and we are glad you enjoyed being around a real world aviation environment, it certainly makes the tip more interesting! Hope to see you on the flight deck again soon. All the best, Tom

The 737 Pro experience was far more enjoyable than I could have imagined! From checking in to the end I was looked after extremely well by Tom (I hope that is right). Tom took his time to explain all the controls and answered any questions that I had. The actual flight experience was excellent - I now have even more respect than I did for pilots in commercial aircraft as they have a very complicated job to do. The experience was total value for money and I would recommend to anyone who has an interest in how they get from A to B in the skies. Thank you for a great day.

What an absolute fantastic day and experience this was , I am a plane lover but my wife isn’t, she booked this experience as a Christmas present and we both had a an amazing day. Tom the instructor made us feel at ease and kept the whole experience as realistic as possible. You really do feel like your flying a real 737 . I will be going back for more , only next time for longer, it’s really addictive and something I would recommend to anyone

This is a perfect experience for anyone who has an interest in aviation.
Very welcoming upon arrival at the Airport, staff all extremely friendly.
The pilot I did the experience alongside was a Jet2 pilot and was so nice, he answered all questions I asked about flying and planes with such an interest like me.
Once in the simulator it is so real and life like. You get to take of and land and basically become the captain of your 737. One thing you walk away with from the experience is so much respect for the pilots who fly these planes for real. You get to see how easy things can go wrong by making one small mistake. Next time I'm on board a plane, I will have much more knowledge than I had about what's going on in that cockpit.
This experience has also wetted my appetite to try a real plane flying lesson which Westair who run this also do.
Thanks everyone. You made my day and gave me an experience I shall never forget.

A very enjoyable experience that I intend to repeat soon. Easy to arrange, no problem getting there, car parking and a nice comfy air conditioned waiting room. Receptionist was friendly and welcoming and pointed out that drinks and toilets are available. The experience was better than I could have expected, and the simulator is very accurate with all instruments and switches accurate. The instructor, Tom is a very friendly knowledgeable guy, who fills one with confidence and ensures that you do all the flying and only gets involved to guide you. Two hours passed very quickly but I have a video to remind me of the occasion. Highly recommended, Thankyou.

I bought a 30min flying time voucher for my son (age 17) for Christmas. First of all the gift pack we received was really lovey to give as a gift - nice card and explanation of the package. But also when I booked the voucher I was told
I would get and was given extra time on the 6 month voucher as it was a present. Then for the actual experience my son was given a lot more than 30 min. There was also a flight briefing before getting in the cockpit and in the cockpit, a go pro video put onto USB of his experience, 2goes at landing and more like 45 than 30 min actual flying.
The cockpit was also very realistic and throughtout Tom was friendly and clearly took the time and interest to find out my son's level of interest in flying and experience in simulators and actual planes.
Overall an amazing afternoon which I would highly recommend. We will definitely book again.
Many thanks Tom

Well I had my doubts initially climbing into the cockpit, 5-minutes in it was obvious that this is a fantastic simulation. For my flight, 10 to 15 minutes of tuition and explaining the dynamics before I took the controls and taxied out. I took it seriously, perhaps too much, realised that I was starting to perspire and I was gripping the controls too hard lol
But that tells you how convincing the experience is. And with Paul prompting me for timings on the approach and where switches etc. were (it is a lot to take in!) I put it back on the tarmac and just slightly went off the end of the runway, haha. Nevermind, it's not like anybody was hurt!
Convincing, enjoyable and very much recommended.

The simulator was amazing , I really enjoyed visiting 737pro and the staff were amazing and so helpful, being based at an airport it also gives you chance to stand outside and see all the light aircraft through the fence.
Overall I would highly recommend visiting and I guarantee I'll be back there in the future , it's great for everyone .... beginners , experienced simulator users and pilots just wanting to polish up on some skills
The simulator has up to date navigation data and scenery for some larger international airports
Sorry it's taken a while to write a review as I've been busy with work.
Hope to see you in the near future
Many thanks for all your help

Went on the simulator today. All I can say is what a fantastic experience. All the instrumentation was explained which was really interesting. This was a real bonus in my opinion. The flight itself was as interactive as I hoped and all landings were done manually. A real benefit was that my family were able to sit in throughout. A big thanks to Tom and Pete at the school for accommodating me at a time when they were short staffed.

I would like to have a rough guide as to The Price
Written 8 June 2019
Hi, you can find all their information here if you google '737pro'
I think their prices are reasonable as simulator aren't cheap to run. Depending on the package you choose will determine the price. They usually have offers running and I managed to get on a course for younger students under 17 and I learnt a lot in 2 days time.
