Discovery Flight for Two — Share the Skies Over Los Angeles
Some experiences are better shared. The Discovery Flight for Two lets you bring a friend, partner, or family member along as you take the controls of a real airplane with a certified instructor and soar over Los Angeles' most famous sights. One of the most memorable gifts and date ideas in the city — and a thrilling first taste of what it means to fly.
Your certified flight instructor keeps everything safe and relaxed while you take the controls and your companion takes in the view. From the Hollywood Sign to the Pacific coast, it's a shared adventure you'll both be talking about for years.
