If you are planning to learn how to fly or even wanting to taking flying lesson here think again…read more Instructor, Shina, I had was very unprofessional. She doesn't know what she is doing and doesn't know what she was talking about half of the time. She has an huge ego to the point she think she is always right. I had a real life system issue with the Seminole in the middle of a flight lesson with her. She would panic and not know what to do. I had to help her understand and troubleshoot the issue. Sometimes I would wonder whether she is the student or the instructor. Sad to say but your going to have a very inexperience instructor when comes to instructing students. Wouldn't trust my hands on her when it come to teaching. She is very unprofessional when it comes to teaching student and treating students. Doesn't get back to you when you have a question or does she pick up her phone. Why even bother to own a phone or even instructor students if you are not going to pick up. Not only that the Seminole constantly breaks and she would always say oh its fine it the way it is. Told them to fix it many times but tells me its normal, until one day it completely breaks then they go and fix the problem that I have told them previously. Its a scam if you are looking to find a place to learn to fly.Not happy with the service that was provided.

I took my son here for an introduction flight lesson one Saturday. The flight instructor was very…read moreinformative and attentive to my son's needs. He was helpful and pointed out the landmarks as we flew over them. Needless to say, my son now is a full time flight student at Lumanair and is well on his way to becoming a certified pilot! Not only are the instructors wonderful but the prices are unbeatable here! After "shopping" around for some time Lumanair turned out to be by far the beat price in the Chicagoland area!! Highly recommend.

It has a brand new Redbird full-motion simulator for instrument training. It has a full hangar right outside its offices, for maintancen and for not freezing your butt off in the winter months during pre-flight.

I have been a member of TEA for a while. They do flight training but also it's a place to rent…read moreplanes for your 100$ hamburger. I just got some recurrent training from Mike, great guy and even better instructor. Also if you need to rent a plane once you're checked out, TEA does that! Some flight schools do not rent or are not as easy to work with getting a plane to rent once you get your license. The "schools" use their planes for training and are not able to let them go for a few days for a trip. TEA has rentals in their DNA. The owners Lori and Ken are easy to work with, friendly and down-to-earth people. I've checked other rental policies around DuPage airport. TEA is the most reasonable. I absolutely love this place! You should give them a call or stop in.

(First of all, contrary to the Yelp location, the address is 3N060 Powis Road…read moreWEST CHICAGO, IL ) ... I started having these dreams of flying. Sooner or later though, you always have to wake up... Or do you? I began investigating flight schools near and far. Then, I focused around Aurora airport and Du Page airport considering flight clubs I wanted to be part of that were convenient for renting planes. These airports are 15 - 20 minutes from my home. There are a couple flight schools at KDPA, but they do not have a flight club, and I wanted to be part of the organization from training to club member. I called Travel Express Aviation at Du Page and happened to get the owner Ken Phlamm, and he offered to stay late to meet me after work to give me the tour. I parked off Powis road on the East side of Du Page airport and entered the door into the hanger, which sort of seemed to be the "back" door, as the lobby faces the airport. Unlike other schools I visited, TEA has quite a range of planes from trainers, to Cirrus, a large Pilatus plane, a jet and a T34 trainer and others in this hanger. I found my way to the lobby and Ken gave me a great tour and explanation of the program. It is pay as you go (billing is monthly) on the set rates for instructor and planes at wet rate. They provide a complete set of Jeppesen books to buy, which is better than trying to find all the info on-line. The over all cost will be around $10K, but depends on how fast you learn. I found they do not waste too much time/money on over extended ground time, and it is best if you can read on your own and save money. The lobby is clean, modern looking, not old 70s throw away leather furniture like other flight schools. Coffee is always brewing (or available) and the bathrooms are clean. The training fleet is not the newest I've seen, but definitely not the oldest. The training planes are just what you need to learn and they are very well maintained. I was happy to see the planes did not have duck-tape repairs I have seen at other "economical" schools and they are having all the interiors re-furbished and these planes are looking very nice! They have club flights for the "$100 hamburger " at exotic places like Madison, WI. I will be taking a cross county flight soon to Oshkosh , WI with another student to log cross country hours and visit the air museum there. Overall, the planes are well maintained. There are planes of various technologies in which to learn to continue your training after your initial Private Pilot Certification: trainer, high performance, Multi-engine, high altitude. The staff is great, friendly and helpful. Travel Express seems to be the best bang for the buck.
