Become a pilot for a day

Have you ever longed to command the controls of a full-scale commercial airliner? At Lufthansa’s renowned training centers, aviation enthusiasts can immerse themselves in a pilot’s world for a day—no license required.

Through Pro Flight, guests have the opportunity to operate legendary aircraft such as the Boeing 747, the advanced Boeing 777, the mighty Airbus A380, and the state-of-the-art Airbus A350. With access to 46 sophisticated simulators, each experience is meticulously crafted to deliver unparalleled realism, mirroring the sensations of actual flight.

The Frankfurt facility alone features 20 high-fidelity simulators, covering 12 distinct aircraft models. Strategically situated near major airports, the centers in Frankfurt, Vienna, Munich, Berlin, and Essen utilize the same simulators trusted by Lufthansa Group’s professional pilots for recurrent training and certification.

While the investment may appear significant at first glance, true aviation aficionados will find the value exceptional. As of 2025, an hour in the cockpit of a Boeing 747, 777, or Airbus A330 simulator is priced at EUR 349. For regional jets such as the Canadair Jet, Dash 8, or Boeing 737, the rate is EUR 299.

Each session includes a comprehensive one-hour pre-flight briefing led by experienced instructors, followed by a personalized debrief. A range of tailored packages is available to suit different skill levels and group sizes. This curated experience also makes for a memorable gift, with gift cards readily available for those eager to surprise a loved one with a unique adventure.
