Naples in June

Hi all.
At present I am booking to do my PPL in June. Will anyone be out there at that time?
In addition are they quite good with documentation - re once I book do they send out all the information etc. What happens re accomodation.
If anyone is trying to go out in June - have they found any cheap flights. At the moment all I can find is appprox £500 and its meant to be off peak then!
Finally can you generally recommend NAC and how long did it take you so complete the course and pass.
Thanks very much
O

I will be there in May.

Oliver, book your flights to New York first, then get a cheap ticket down to Fort Myers with Jetblue.com, it will come to around £300.

Ive never managed to get cheap tickets to Florida, they do exist, but never when im going

Hope this helps, contact me if you have any further questions.

I was there

I did my PPL at Naples almost a year ago, and had a fantastic time. I went for a month, did my PPL in 3 weeks, and then did a tailwheel conversion. The accommodation is a choice of houses/condos or a hotel, mostly about a mile or so from the airfield. You are charged about $25 or so for a bike. June is probably a slightly quieter time of year as it is getting hot then. Their financial accounting seems to leave a little to be desired so keep an accurate record of your flying and time spent with your instructor, then there is no confusion and any potential missunderstandings are avoided. I enjoyed every minute of my time there and found the school to be well run by nice people.
