  • EARN YOUR WINGS OVER SEATTLE!

    Seattle's Learn To Fly experiences from Virgin Experience Gifts are your ticket to sitting in the pilot's seat!

    So you want to learn how to fly? Roger that! Seattle is one of the most beautiful places to find out what it takes to make pilot training dreams come true.

    Experience the freedom of flight aboard a Piper Warrior aircraft, with an FAA certified instructor to guide you. Kick off the air-venture by engaging in a brief ground orientation, covering the fundamentals of aviation and the aircraft. Then assist with the pre-flight inspection, strap in, and prepare for take-off!

    Once cruising altitude is reached, the airplane lesson really begins — the plane's controls are all yours for hands-on training covering skills like ascending, descending and turning. Bring a friend (or two!) along as passengers, as you learn to fly over iconic Seattle sights like downtown, Mount Rainier, the Space Needle, Snoqualmie Falls, and plenty more!

    Are your aviation ambitions full of helicopters like the Robinson R22 or R44? Make them a reality with Virgin Experience Gifts's Learn To Fly a Helicopter experience! A ground training gets you ready to start up the engine and soar. Learn how to fly vertically, horizontally, hover, and more — right from the pilot's seat, and in the good company of an FAA certified instructor. Savor the unparalleled sensation of being airborne, as well as the unbeatable views of downtown Seattle!

    Take things to do in Seattle to new heights with these unforgettable outings from Virgin Experience Gifts!
