How would you like to tick another item off your lifetime to-do list? We all dream of flying a plane, but the expense puts most of us off. Well here’s your chance to fulfil a lofty ambition — you can take the controls of a light aircraft as part of an hour-long lesson, for the same money you might spend on dinner for two.

The Sunday Times has teamed up with Loop, the aviation publication, to bring you this unforgettable experience for as little as £79. Each lesson begins with a briefing on the ground about flying techniques and safety. Then it’s time to climb aboard your chosen aircraft with a fully-qualified instructor for a 60-minute lesson, during which you can take the controls yourself.

This is a golden opportunity to take your first step towards a private pilot’s licence, to try something different just for fun, or to buy someone a gift that will knock their socks off.
