Global Aviation Corp

The BEST airflight adventure ever! Highly recommend this school and its instructors they are the BEST in their field… becareful not to confuse the school with the one down the hall… ask for Stephannie. you’ll know your in the right place!!!

LOVED global aviation Corp and my experience with them from start to finish! I bought this for my husband for his birthday. My total was $ 186. It was a 2 hr experience and I got to ride along in the plane. I called to book it and the person on the other line was professional and so patient with my millions of questions. I wound up having to change the date and time a few times to work with our schedule but it was painless and I did it quickly and easily. We got a little lost on the way, but I called and they guided me turn by turn to their location. Our instructor was awesome! W arrived and the instructor gave us a detailed explanation and walk through of what to check as a pilot. We got in, and the instructor taxied us to the take off spot. My husband did the take off and all of the flying on his own! It was amazing! He loved it! Once we got to an open space over water he was allowed to turn and fly in any direction (within reason) that he wanted. The only part the instructor did was the landing, which was fine. We had a great experience! Loved it all and would recommend to ANYONE

My flight at Global Aviation was awesome!!! it was a little bumpy but I had a great view!

So i bought a living social from this place and like it was cool but i feel as though i got robbed.
Not only did i have to pay for the living social lesson i also had to pay for the gas of the plan for each person. like wouldn’t you think that was included? Apart from that i bought a two person lesson and the day before the lesson they call and tell me their is a weight limit on the plane of 400lbs and that both people couldn’t ride.
I understand that because the plane is small but they told me either one of us rides for 45 min or 90. but thinking about it why couldn’t we both ride for 45 individually?
My boyfriend was the one who ended up driving since it was a gift for him that’s why is a 4 star. He had a great time and loved flying, He also said the instructor was nice but didnt explain much about the plane. Would i do it again probably not.

Redeemed our Living Social voucher today and everything went extremely smooth and well. My wife and 11 year old soon took the dual lesson and they had a blast. Brian, the coordinator, was extremely helpful and friendly to our entire family. We were all allowed onto the tarmac to observe the plane inspection/​walk through and to take photos. Roy the instructor was also wonderful… friendly and patient. The weather wasn’t great so my wife and son said they flew up and down the beach line which was quite scenic… otherwise they would have flown to CT under better conditions; no regrets though. Each of them got 45 minutes of flying time. A great experience and my 11 yo son says he wants more! :-)

Had a great time flying — Roy was an awesome instructor. Check out the video below to see our experience! We were scheduled for 9 AM, but due to some mechanical issues, had to wait til 11AM. Overall, the staff was nice and helpful.

My bud, Lily L. posted her review here and yeah, ditto. (Took me 3 extra months to say «ditto», but yeah.) And the GoPro I took of her smiling ear-​to-​ear after flying a plane, priceless.
This was actually my 2^nd «first flying experience» and had since considered learning to fly. But the cost and commitment required is not practical for me. I would probably get flagged by the feds for doing a 3^rd first flying experience (or so I was told), so if/​when I decide to learn, this would be my school.

My friend Al B. had been gifted a flying instruction lesson and asked if I wanted to be his guest. We checked in with Brian at the desk this past Saturday afternoon, and he was helpful in getting us checked in. We actually ended up getting the option to have each of us fly one leg of the trip. The coupon did not include fuel, and so each of us paid $ 59.
Our instructor was Asim (Brian introduced him as «Mr. Awesome») but really, he was a fabulous teacher and I highly recommend him. He had been flying since he was like 15, and was really patient and super calm throughout the instruction. He would give an overview of what we were about to do, and then talk us through it when we were actually doing it. I loved that «heads up» attitude because I was incredibly nervous. Super great attitude and really knowledgable.
We flew to Connecticut (probably a 30 – 45 minute trip?) and then switched places. We spent around 20 minutes there while they filled the gas tanks up.
The whole lesson and time spent there was about 3.5 hours, including wait time on the runway (it was a gorgeous day so a lot of people were flying). Highly recommend the place and it’s worth the trek.

Went up with Luimey. Great guy. It was great getting back into the pilot seat after a few years away. Luimey really just let me do my thing. He did what the company S.O.P would be (land the plane) but other than that, it was all me. I highly recommend this company to everyone. I am getting back into the flying zone again and will be using them for the rest of my licenses. They have a go-​pro and filmed the whole flight, the edit it and put it on youtube for you and your friends to watch your experience.

I proposed to my girlfriend using this! :))) best decision ever!!!
Firstly–
A. Don’t buy the groupon coupon. It’s more expensive with it. Just call them and talk to them about it
B. It’s a good deal. They usually charge 250 bucks an hour for flying lessons. Whatever you pay, you’ll pay for 2 people for about 2 – 3 hours.
C. These are a bunch of really friendly guys who will take care in listening to you and ensuring you have a good experience
D. I was filled with mixed feelings before I took the flight. I dint know how much of the flying I would be doing and how much the pilot would. We did the take offs ourselves, 99 percent of the steering and flying ourselves. The landing was the copilots responsibility (which is fine by me!) but everything else was us! And it was incredible.
Our pilot was Ash and he was very very sporty. Great sense of humor and great guy!
We were very very happy with our experience! I strongly recommend this to everyone!!!

I flew!!!
I never, ever thought I would learn how to fly a plane (I’m terribly afraid of heights) but my boyfriend bought me an introductory flight lesson for my birthday. As a result, we found ourselves 1,000 feet up in the air one Saturday. Our instructor, Ash, was REALLY laid-​back and made us feel completely at ease. I thought we would have to sit through an orientation but he basically just led us to the plane — a tiny one, at that — and then showed us how to fly it from within the plane.
We both got to take off, fly for a while, and then Ash would land. We got to fly over Fire Island on the most beautiful, clear day to a nearby airport. There are a few different routes you can choose from. It WAS a little scary to be so high up but the instructor is always guiding you and can take over as needed.
Afterwards they gave us a free T-​shirt and certificate. You can also get your pilot license through this company. Overall it was a badass experience and I’m so thrilled I got to experience it!
Keep in mind there’s a fuel charge (should be written in the fine print) and tip is not included.

I bought an introductory flight lesson for my husband and I as a birthday present. I was a little intimidated at first, taking the controls on the plane, but the instructor put us at ease and it ended up being a great experience. My husband all of a sudden wants to get a pilots license. The people that worked there were also very accommodating. The facility was very clean and we even got free coffee. Would definitely love to do it again.

Best experience ever! They’ve awesome and excellent customer service for booking and reservation our introduction flight. Cam was super nice, and our pilot Thomas M was a good instructor. I recommend this place for everyone!

We spent couple days in New York and wanted to do something for the first time for the whole family. We ended up taking flight lessons at global aviation. We were a family of four but couldn’t fit in one plane because we do need the instructor to help fly the plane lol … So my husband flew me in one plane and my 12 year old son flew my 7 year old daughter in another plane so it all worked out great.
I have to admit it was well worth the money for an experience of a lifetime. We even had videos of us flying the plane from the inside and were able to take pictures of Long Island New York from a bird’s eye view. The kids couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had and how amazing it was. Want to say thanks to the global aviation crew that was very informative on what package was available for us to all fly and special thanks to the flight instructors John and Brian. Will definitely do it again when we are in New York.

Awesome experience, bought a voucher on amazon local, yes there is a fuel charge, understandable, but the service is great. The guys there say the right things and make you feel comfortable, let you be very hands on up In the air. I now envy what they do for a living. I would recommend it to anyone because ill be back there for more hours in the air.

I bought an introductory lesson on Amazon local. The lesson was great. What wasn’t great was when I booked the lesson, I was told there was an additional $ 30 fuel charge, then when I got there for the lesson and was charged an additional $ 12 on top of that in tax. Definitely false advertising. But the lesson itself was awesome. Totally worth it.

I bought a livingsocial deal for a helicopter lesson as a gift for my boyfriend because he’s always dreamed of becoming a helicopter pilot and we’re finally at a time when we can try to see that happen. We rented a car from the City, drove 2+ hours out there, only to discover that they had booked it for a plane lesson. Turns out my boyfriend didn’t use the right «link» and had only given the voucher number (which was specifically for a helicopter lesson), and the person who booked it at the company assumed it was for a plane ride. The persons who apparently «did us a favor» by taking his reservation despite not having done in through the right link insisted that we would have to come back another day because their sole helicopter pilot was gone for the day. They also blamed us for not specifying — again our voucher was only for a helicopter ride, and I would think their business should know to clarify if they offer different types of flight lessons.
I would have come back, even spent money again for a car rental, but for your staff’s stinky attitude. Next time you do someone a favor like you claim, do it right. You lost yourself a potential life-​long helicopter flyer.

I received a discount code e mail from
and knew a learn to fly trip was a prefect gift for Dad. And later I learned that this was a dream of Dad’s since he was young.
We were greeted in the lobby by Nicholas. He and his staff were so nice and gracious with their time. They let me follow Dad around with a camera through the instruction part of the class and the pre flight check. Nicholas directed me to a vantage point where I could view Dad’s take off and landing and invited me to wait during the flight in the comfortable terminal lobby.
Dad had an AMAZING time and can’t wait to take another lesson with his new friends at Global Aviation.
