This is a bit of a marmite experience…

This is a bit of a marmite experience depending upon whether you get away on your first date or not (as you pick up from the other reviews)So the good bit - the flight is really good when you get to experience it. I flew from Cheshire & Jon is a very informative pilot who talks you through everything very clearly, including what you are flying over. We even managed a very soft landing :)The not so good bit - if you don't get away on your chosen date, then you have to rebook. I ended up flying on my 20th attempt ! (but quite a few on the flight were on their first, so it is very much up to luck). That stretched over 2.5 years (one of the other fliers was up to 4 years, but that was impacted by Covid). You may become an expert on all the reasons why a flight cannot go ahead - there are many of them.My view is that you have to be very lucky, or you need to be retired/very flexible on your availability to get a flight in a reasonable time window. If you go ahead, then choose a morning flight (more likely to fly due to wind conditions & more importantly, you find out the day before whether the flight will go ahead - if you have an afternoon flight you may well waste the day if it doesn't go ahead)So overall, I'm glad I persevered & did it; but I wouldn't recommend booking unless you are retired/have good availability for potentially numerous attempts.
