I went to Harvard and I payed for 1 hour flying, and only got 50mins, and I had to pay for the time it took them to refeul. They told me to arrive an hour before my lesson, so they could give me a breifing. I turned up an hour before and then they told me I only needed to be there 10mins before my lesson. Go figure!? For the remaining 50mins, I had to sit on the sofa with a few Harvard staff looking at me like I didn't belong there.
The plane was ok, but nothing to special. The instructor was good but felt he didn't want me flying the plane, he wanted to. (If that makes any sense.)
I then went to Cubair and booked a lesson there, and it was so much better. The instructor actually let me taxi and fly until final approach. I felt I learnt more from him. I flew the katana DA-20 which was superb and in great condition. They are more friendly there than Harvard and its a great atmosphere.
(Sorry that this is more of an essay then a post!)
