I had a discovery flight this morning with Jonathan Outmezguine (adding his last name just incase…read moreanother Jonathan is there) from Washington Flight Academy, and it was such an amazing experience. From the moment we started, he was incredibly friendly, calm, and easy to talk to, which made a huge difference as someone who had never flown before. He gave clear, helpful direction and made flying feel way less intimidating than I expected. His patience and confidence really stood out for me, as well as how comfortable he made me feel the entire time. He also went out of his way to capture a lot of footage for me, which I really appreciated. Overall, my instructor was great and made this such a smooth, enjoyable first experience. I highly recommend flying with him, and I'll definitely be back again in the future.

This day was a bit busier than our previous visit as they were behind in discovery flights. Our time was 1:30pm our instructor came to begin the briefing at 1:54, guess it's really like an actual airport in training lol. (They do have scheduled chartered flights, pilot training etc, which shouldn't have much impact on discovery flights) Good experience overall will use them again

From my very first discovery flight, I knew I was in the right place. My instructor, Jan (CFII), was incredible--he is really a great guy, highly experienced, patient, and always made me feel at ease. His great sense of humor was an added bonus! The owner, Slava, is also a great guy and genuinely cares about each student's progress. He was always flexible and responsive. I also had stage checks with Jeremy and Dost, who were both excellent instructors and added to the solid training I received. The academy's professionalism, organization, and strong emphasis on safety gave me the confidence I needed to ace my checkride. I am now continuing my Instrument Rating (IFR) training with them. If you're considering flight training, I highly recommend Pilot in Training Flight Academy.

I bought a Groupon to surprise my partner for his birthday with a discovery flight through PAA. I contacted the company after buying the Groupon, and from there, everything went very smoothly. They helped me keep it a surprise, as well as stayed in communication about everything leading up to it. The discovery flight was an awesome experience for my partner and the instructor, Fernando, was really chill and great to work with. I would really recommend this business for the discovery flight!

Whether it's wicks, radios, or ground equip, NOTHING here is safe at this field. Anything not nailed down disappears in a New York second. During one weekend, about five airplanes were broken into one radio is missing. Mine was attempted to be broken into, word at the field was that this was an inside job. Watch out for the FBO that rips you off for bogus charges too, run by a bunch of arrogant, less-than-honest ruffians that could care less about customer service or their reputation for that matter. This FBO charges a fee for using any type of credit card. Important: check your credit card statement very carefully after leaving the field. Mine had substantial extra charges I never agreed to and had to dispute it with the credit card company. Filed a complaint with AOPA, this is the FBO of last resort. Ask any of the tenants. On the plus side, the airport coffee shop is pretty amazing for a small airport café.

I have been flying since 2005. During that time I have used a variety of flight schools and…read moreinstructors, but hands down, 1World Aero has been the best I've experienced. The aircraft are clean, well maintained and comfortable. They decided to stick with mainly Socata planes because of their comfort and handling characteristics. The management is incredibly detail oriented and I am always left feeling like I haven't missed a thing when I go back for some recurrent training or practice work. If you are looking to fly, do yourself a favor and at least check 1World out to compare. Once I discovered them, I wished I had found them sooner.

My friend and I came here and we filled out all our consent forms and gave them the Groupon code. Then they took us to the back and explained everything to us. In the plane, you basically sit shotgun while the experienced professional flies the plane into the air to a safe altitude and then they give you control. Flying the actual plane was such an amazing experience. It felt scarier than skydiving to me. The instructor let's you fly for about 20-30 minutes and then he takes you down to the location. He also lands the plane. It apparently gets added to your flight hours if you were planning on becoming licensed. This is a once in a lifetime experience that I high encourage you try. I don't regret it in the slightest and the staff here make you feel safe.

I highly recommend Dream Flight School if you're looking to obtain your PPL or IFR certificate. The planes used are clean and well maintained, some are even being updated with the newest technology. Additionally KDMW Airport is clean, and the Skytech staff are friendly. It's always nice to have the people fueling your planes encourage your progress -- just adds to the overall experience at Dream Flight School!

Yelp Review 2026 #190:…read more I had a layover at BWI airport. I landed at gate E and had to catch my next flight at gate B. I have Global Entry and TSA Precheck so the process was much easier and faster. However, there was no signage where to exit. I found somebody to ask and directed me to the right direction. Then, I encountered 2 separate lines: connecting flights on the left and exit on the right and I was told to go to the right which didn't make sense since I need to catch my connecting flight but CBP agent told me I need to exit and go through security again and get to terminal B. So, why the signage? It's either no signage or if they do have signage, it's wrong. I made it to security before heading to the domestic terminals. The touchless TSA Precheck was closed off so I went to regular Precheck. I told the TSA agent I had touchless Precheck and he told me "next time go to touchless Precheck!" I asked him if he has seen anybody in line for touchless Precheck, no, because it's roped off meaning it's closed! He then drops my passport and boarding pass. There are moving walkways to expedite hopping from terminal E to B. However, people were blocking the walkway and not moving! If you're standing, stay on the right and let people that are walking pass on the left! It just seemed like everyone's first day on earth. The restrooms aren't the best nor the cleanest. They don't have good options for lounges so I skipped that and went to eat at two airport restaurants. They do have a nice selection of restaurants.
