Fly the Genuine Cockpit of a British Airways Boeing 747-400

The 744 Experience cockpit contains no replicas, no reproductions and no shortcuts. Every switch, instrument and system is original British Airways equipment from a retired Boeing 747-400, preserved in full working order. Three years of planning and restoration went into making this the most authentic 747 flight simulator experience accessible to the public in the UK. If you flew on these aircraft, worked on them, or have always wanted to sit in the left-hand seat, this is as real as it gets.

Original concept, original equipment, and three years in the planning and making. We are the genuine 744 Experience.

What Our Guests Say

  • "The simulator was absolutely incredible, the graphics, weather effects, time of day and depth of image was so realistic. It was really surreal to be sitting in what was once the cockpit of a real BA 747, the attention to detail was so out of this world."

  • "What Dan and his team have achieved in delivering a truly immersive 747 operation is remarkable. Having previously flown Boeing 747-400 G-CIVM to Singapore, San Francisco and a number of other destinations for British Airways, I am obviously thrilled that the beating heart (the cockpit) of this iconic aircraft is again put to work within a new, spectacular home."

  • "My visit to 744 Experience exceeded all expectations, it was an unforgettable experience The simulator is for anyone - Aviation geeks, or newcomers. I highly recommend reaching out to them and making a booking"

  • "Wow! You would never expect what you get here. It's incomparable to other offerings in the area. If you're expecting a simulator that's true to the original, without any installations that aren't in the real 747, then this is the place for you. As an active 747 captain, I was overwhelmed by how similar it is to my workplace. Even the Pitch&Power values are exactly right. How did you guys do it? I'll definitely be back."

  • "Absolutely superb afternoon tea on this very unique experience in a real BA business class set up. From start to finish, the experience felt very personal and Dan was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable throughout our ‘flight to New York’ on a retired Boeing 747 fuselage."

  • "A truly amazing experience! State of the art Boeing 747-400 Flight Simulator and Upper Deck experience. We were so well looked after and guided on our flights. I loved touching down at JFK Airport in New York in the evening. I highly recommend booking as soon as possible!"

  • "I was lucky enough to visit the Experience just a week after they opened and honestly was blown away! These guys have done it like no one else, with 100% genuine parts and a passion for aviation. If you’re looking for your basic home set up, then there’s plenty of simulators that can offer that, but none can offer the level of immersion they do at the 744 Experience."
