Flight Experience Singapore

What it is

Flight Experience Singapore is a professional-grade Boeing 737-800NG flight simulator experience open to the general public, housed at the Singapore Flyer on Raffles Avenue. The cockpit is a certified, high-fidelity replica used for real pilot training — CASA-approved and licensed by Boeing — featuring a 180-degree curved HD visual display, genuine flight controls, and authentic engine and systems sounds. A fully trained commercial pilot instructor sits beside you throughout the session, providing as much or as little guidance as you want. You select any airport in the simulator's database of 20,000+ worldwide destinations, then fly the complete sequence: taxi, takeoff, en-route flying, approach, and touchdown. The experience is suitable for ages 6 and above, and up to two observers from your group can join in the cockpit at no extra charge. A pre-flight briefing in the lounge, plus complimentary coffee, tea, water, and snacks, are included. Participants receive a completion certificate at the end.

Highlights

• Boeing 737-800NG cockpit replica — the same high-fidelity simulator used for real airline pilot training, CASA-approved and Boeing-licensed, so every switch, throttle, and yoke responds exactly as the real aircraft does.
• 180-degree curved HD visual system — wrap-around screens deliver a photo-realistic outside world view, including day, night, dawn, and varying weather conditions that affect how the aircraft actually handles.
• 20,000+ worldwide airports to choose — pick a dramatic mountain approach like Innsbruck, your home airport, or iconic Changi; the database covers major hubs and regional strips across the globe.
• Qualified commercial pilot instructors — every instructor is a licensed commercial pilot who has trained on the 737 simulator, giving real-time coaching calibrated to your comfort level from hands-on to hands-off.
• Full flight sequence from takeoff to touchdown — you control the aircraft through every phase, including taxi, rotation, climb, cruise maneuvers, approach, and landing, not just a short demo segment.
• Observers welcome at no extra cost — up to two friends or family members can share the cockpit experience as observers, making it a group activity without extra fees.

Good to know

• Session lengths typically range from 30 to 90 minutes; a Junior Jet Club single-circuit option (~20 minutes) is usually available for participants under 15. Longer sessions give more time to attempt multiple takeoffs and landings.
• No experience needed — the simulator is beginner-friendly by design. Instructors are trained to work with first-timers; over 180,000 people have flown with Flight Experience worldwide.
• Located at the Singapore Flyer, 30 Raffles Avenue #02-06, easily reachable by MRT (Promenade or City Hall stations are the closest, roughly a 10-15 minute walk) or taxi/ride-hail drop-off right at the Flyer.
• Pre-flight lounge with complimentary snacks and beverages is included; plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early for the briefing before your scheduled slot.
• Advance booking is strongly recommended — slots fill up, especially on weekends and public holidays. Most visitors book several weeks ahead. Cancellations are usually free if made more than 24 hours before the session.
• A completion certificate is typically provided at the end of the session — popular as a keepsake or corporate team-building souvenir. The experience is suitable for ages 6 and above.
