There are all kinds of flight simulator experiences out there for aviation geeks, ranging from full motion flight simulators, to hotel rooms with flight simulators in them. However, I've never heard of anything quite like this... This February, you'll have the chance to experience a plane crash simulation in Nottingham. This is being put together…

You should book a UA fare EWR-MAN and then DUB-EWR to compare the new 787-10 from DUB and the offering into Manchester. From what I hear, anything other than Heathrow has a very different experience!
Looks like something from Black Mirror.
PTSD anyone?
Maybe it’s good this is in the U.K. so you can apply for mental health benefits to the NHS.
They have a very similar concept in Australia too!

No it’s bad juju. And I think it does a disservice to people who have actually been in a crash and survived.
@ Marco
Business Class ? No wayyy Nothing less than First Class for Ben 😉
And it better have a Lufthansa catering and First Class lounge before boarding with personal chauffeur or he won't go for it 🙂
Lucky reviews FLIGHT crash simulator:
"The flight attendant was personable but spilled my Krug EVERYWHERE. No personal air vents at my seat, which sadly many airlines don't provide."
After experiencing a simulated near death experience in the shipping container, you can go in to Nottingham city centre on a Saturday evening and have the same thing but for real!
I agree with @Shawn 100%. This is just bad juju. Especially for someone who flies as much as you do.
A lot of things are fake. Juju isn’t one of them.
Sorry folks,having been onboard a near disaster on a simple domestic flight on DL, I respectfully decline. I am posting as an experienced traveler with at least 100 Transatlantic flights experienced. The difference is that this flight was late due to the extremely late arrival of the flight crew and they seemed to have had neither the time nor inclination to follow and work around known storms in the area.
As another poster (Jonathan) mentioned above, this production has also been available in Australia. Me and my partner experienced it in Melbourne in December 2019. It's more geared towards providing a supernatural/sci-fi thriller experience, rather than a 'crash simulator'. It just happens to use a replicated airplane cabin as the setting for the experience. I thought the concept was an interesting 'field experience' of a well-known philosophical thought experiment (Schrodinger's Cat), but not so much if you are looking for the usual thrills and spills of a theme park ride.
Ben - what type of champagne do they have on this crash flight? More importantly, do they have individual air nozzles?
Is there a J class? What is the lounge going to be like? Do I get a t-shirt or PJ's with a J ticket?
Anyone know if you can redeem Star Alliance miles for J class on this flight? Would love to try it but refuse to sit with the unwashed masses.
