I have recently been lucky enough to visit the flight deck on both the outward and return flight from Heathrow to Zurich. I had prepared a brief letter which I handed in on boarding which asked if it would be possible to have a short visit to the flight deck sometime during the journey. On the outward flight the Captain of the 757 invited me forward once the meal had been cleared away and very kindly allowed me to stay for the landing. On the return flight by A320 I was suprised and delighted to be invited to sit in the jump seat for the take off, flight and landing which was an amazing experience. Both crews were very friendly and happy to answer any questions during their few quiet moments. For someone who up till now was not the most confident of fliers I found the visits extemely interesting and reassuring and look forward to my next flight. Incidently I think that my friends and work colleagues are starting to become rather tired, or more likely envious, of hearing about my exploits.
