“This is your captaining speaking. Hope you have a pleasant flight ladies and gentleman”, only this time it won’t be your captain speaking but rather you. Your cruiser will be a Boeing 737. So how real does this experience get? With a fully enclosed cockpit, 180 degree curved external visual screen that represents real terrains and the option to fly in to any airport of your choice are some of the features available. In case you are wondering how many of them are there, 24,000 is the grand total.

To make the experience more challenging and exciting you also can navigate your flight around any landmark, be it Big Ben, the London Bridge or the Sydney Opera house. You can also choose your sky or rather what time you’d rather fly, pretty crimson painting times, clear blue open sky, mysteriously dusky evening or an all-out dark night. It is so close to real flying experience that airlines use this to train their commercial pilots.

After your instructor briefs you, you’re strapped on to the captain’s seat and then the ride begins. Feet on rudder pedal, one hand on throttle while the other on the control column, you get permission from Air Traffic Control, push forward the throttle gently and begin your take off.

In doesn’t get any easier after that because you have to watch out other air traffic, watch your speed, maintain altitude, and keep flying with you’re a-game on because before you know it you’ve got to get ready for landing. From 30 minutes to 90 minutes, the package is up to you. Want to try landing in bad weather? Go ahead or maybe a scenic cruise for more of the view rather than anything else, scenic cruise it is then.
Done with being air borne and now want to plant your feet firmly on the ground, then head to the many hotels in Singapore. Take your pick from utmost luxury to bare minimums from any of the Singapore hotels. But if you are thinking to fly like a plot and stay like a pilot then check in to one of the Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Singapore.
