UK internal flight?

Go find your local airfield and hang about in the cafe for an afternoon. Someone will offer to take the lad up for the fuel price.

I paid a local guy with a plane to take the old man up for his birthday and did a few hours over the county and a few low flybys at home which was great.

Great idea tbf but just wouldn't want to rip off/beg.
 
I know this might be slightly off topic from what you were asking. But have you ever considered joining a model flying club?

I'm not sure where you are in the north west. The Bury Model Flying Club as been going for years: https://www.bmmfc.com/
 

LOCH LOMOND SEAPLANES

Seaplane tours and charter flights over the Magnificent West Coast of Scotland

pop on youtube for a lot of clips of these flights, maybe better in summer though

Woodvale used to do lessons. Or fun flights.
There are also a few little airfields that do light plane and microlight stuff.
Also I'm sure you can get on a fear of flying thing at John Lennon
 
Flying lesson for an hour or so would be good otherwise you could get a day trip to Belfast by flying from Liverpool or Manchester which would be 2 approx 40 mins long flights for around 120 quid for 2 people return, make sure to pick window seats near the front or back for best views.
 
Ryanair does cheap flights. Fly to somewhere for £20 each, have a bit of lunch and a look at something and fly back. Cheaper than most days out or trains.

in cambridge there is an old biplane which does trips... you can either have a tour of cambridge or a longer one which flies over london iirc. i have not done it but a friend of mine has and he really enjoyed it.

FWIW i am flying to Palma Majorca next week... the flight is £26 return (baggage is another £65! but you would not need that)....... i cant say that would be much fun however, if you are gonna do that may as well make the most of it and go for a long weekend break.

Everyone doesn't live the same way as you, never leaving the house unless it's to go to the petrol station for some fags and a pot noodle.
