Flying is a super way to get close enough to a cloud to milk it or to visit your secret sky family. Bolster the bond earthly loved ones just don't understand with today's Groupon: for $79, you get an introductory flight lesson at Premier Flight Academy (a $167.25 value). This Groupon can be redeemed at one of three locations: Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County Airport in Richmond Heights, or Akron Municipal Airport in Akron.

The lesson begins on the ground with a pre-flight briefing, after which air students will strap into the cockpits of Premier Flight's airplanes, such as the Garmin 430 GPS, for a 30- to 45-minute ride through the skies. These safe, sturdy workhorses of the clouds feature a large canopy design that provides excellent, beginner-friendly stability and unobstructed, beautiful views of Ohio and the giant fireball that hovers over Australia. Premier Flight’s helpful skysperienced instructors will keep the plane in firm control as you learn to navigate the skies, before landing for a post-flight recap and roundtable discussion on the narrative arc of X-Men. Though you won't be certified to fly alone after this lesson, you'll be on your way to going solo. Call to schedule your lesson.

All flights are subject to aircraft availability and weather conditions. Students must be 14 years of age or older and weigh less than 250 pounds.
