Flight Training.
Hi all, I am currently looking for a flight training school and wanted to hear from anybody who could point me in the right direction. Has anybody got any views on Air Atlantic in Coventry or any other schools to be recommended. I have zero flying experience and at the start of the journey! Any views/tips will be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend you pay a visit to your local flying club and see how you get on with some trial lessons. Believe it or not, some people hate flying when they get up in the air!

For gods sake don't touch Atlantic in Coventry with a bargepole! They are the most arrogant unsupportive unprofessional lot under the sun. I could tell you a lot of stories! I switched from them to Oxford ages ago and it was the best move that I ever made - despite the addtional costs!

About Atlantic in Coventry.. I visited them.. They really seem to be arogant 
Just visit local flying school. I have also visited the Tayside Aviation ( that's in Scotland 
) and to be honest I have to say.. there are really nice people there!! Im just about to start my PPL in the next two weeks, I will be doing all the theory exams first and then start to fly. Well the only advice I can give you is to visit few flying schools and go to the one which in your opinion is the best. That's what I've done even though it took me sometime but Im sure I won't regret my decision 
Good luck!

to be more positive(!!) I'm making the post groundschool switch from OAA to the flight centre at halfpenny green (wolverhampton) new twinstars and half the price of OAA.
