Flying is something a great many people want to do, and a light aircraft flight is how you do it. There are several formats: a calm run along a set route, a first flight, pilot for a day, aerobatics, a romantic flight — all of them worth the money.
Below we go through where to find discounted light aircraft flights, with some of the best airfields in Spain to start from — or to give as a present.
The best airfields in Spain
There are a great many airfields in Spain to fly from. The one thing to be careful about is choosing the right company: a good reputation, qualified and experienced staff, and every safety protocol in place.
Here are some of the best, and what stands out about each.
- Òdena airfield, Barcelona
45 km from the city, with an asphalt runway 900 metres long and 15 wide. It is used for sport and recreational flying, and several companies operate flights from it.
- Trebujena airfield, Cádiz
A 1,200-metre runway and full facilities for sport and recreational flying, with routes over some very good country. Pilot for a day and first flights are both available.
- Axarquía airfield, Málaga
Also known as Vélez airfield, with an asphalt runway 637 metres long and 17 wide. Several companies operate there, with flights built around what you want.
Besides those, there are plenty more in most Spanish cities where clubs and companies run light aircraft flights. You can see all the airfields here.
How much does a flight cost?
The price depends on several things : the distance, the type of flight, the time in the air and whether somebody is coming with you. There are packages for each.
To give you an idea:
- 30 minutes over Montserrat: €100
- 30 minutes for two along the Cádiz coast: €150
- 30 minutes over the Málaga coast: €200
- 30 minutes over Igualada, Barcelona: €150
- 60 minutes over the Moncayo, Navarre: €150
As you can see, there is a fair spread.
Giving a flight as a present
When you give somebody a present you want them to like it — and better still if it is something out of the ordinarythat they get to do themselves and remember afterwards.
On GoRandom we like giving adventure as a present, and a light aircraft flight is one of the better options. Better still if they have never done it: on top of the adrenaline comes the novelty.
