Space in the simulator is limited. The customer sits in the left armchair while the instructor is in the right one. Additionally there are two more seats for watchers. Each next participant may watch the flight but without a proper seat. Thus we advise to take two accompanying persons max.

What is the difference between DA42 and A320?
DA42 is a smaller plane than A320. It can take only 4 people on board and has no jet engines but one or two propeller engines (depending on simulator configuration). It does not make a breathtaking effect as A320 does, but gives fun and unforgettable emotions. It is cheaper , outer visualization is on monitors and the simulator itself is in the form of a closed cabin.
A320 is a jet plane taking on board (depending on cabin configuration ) 186 passengers. The huge number of buttons and switches makes an incredible impression at first. The simulator is more expensive but more realistic and gives more impressions. Visualization system is placed on 3 projectors and the simulator itself is serviced by 4 computers.
For how long do I have to buy a simulator to fly from point A to B?
Because the route flights take much longer than over airports, we recommend buying a minimum of 2 hours if we want to fully start the plane, go through all the procedures and end up with its full shutdown
For flights from A to B we advice to take domestic airports e.g. Warszawa-Gdańsk, Warszawa-Kraków etc. Of course, we can choose any two airports in Europe, and the instructor will give you an answer whether a flight in the purchased time period, on this particular route will be possible.
Whether the voucher can be returned or exchanged?
A purchased voucher cannot be returned after purchase. However, it is, of coure, possible to postpone your booking to another date.
The voucher can be exchanged for another one, but only for a "higher" one, e.g. 20min to 40min, 60min to 120min, or a voucher valid from Monday to Thursday into a voucher valid from Friday to Sunday (i.e. 20min per week to 20min at the weekend). Then we collect a difference of price between one and another.
