STANSTED has teamed up with Ryanair to give one lucky prize winner the chance to take the controls of a Boeing 737 flight simulator.

The fabulous prize is for a one hour experience for the winner and a guest on Ryanair’s CAE Series 5000 simulator at the Uttlesford hub.

Patrick Alexander, head of marketing at Stansted, said: “We’re delighted to be able to offer this once in a lifetime opportunity courtesy of our colleagues at Ryanair.

“If your childhood dream was to fly an airliner then your wish could come true by winning this brilliant prize – it’s as close as you can get to flying a real plane without leaving the ground.”
