The Perfect Way to See Dallas from 1,500 Feet Low & Slow My Friends and I wanted to do something different, so we thought getting in a Cessna and seeing Dallas at night would be cool. AND IT WAS! The three of us travel a lot for our jobs and fly in and out of DFW so this would be a bit different perspective. We arrived at Addison Airport and were greeted by our pilot Alex. Alex did a great job showing us the preflight and all that goes into getting a Cessna ready. Alex did a great job showing us around the aircraft during the pre-flight and explaining why an airplane is not like a car and you cannot just turn the key. I sat in the back, because I fly Cessna's I wanted to let my friend who had never been in a small plane sit at the controls. I am going to go off on a tangent here; the rich got it made with the whole flying private! Okay back to my review! We were buckled in and started taxing around 8pm. So it was going to be a night flight for sure. Right after take-off, we were flying over Dallas Love Airport. It was cool to see a Southwest 737 landing right under you. We flew over to Jerry World and Rangers Park; it was a perfect day to fly! Visibility was great. As we were flying over to Arlington we could see all the aircraft flying into and out of DFW. We then turned towards downtown Dallas. To see the skyline up close and all light up is amazing! My photos do not do the actual experience justice. As we worked our way back to Addison we flew over The Star in Frisco and Plano. So think about this real quick the next time you are stuck in DFW traffic; we flew from Addison to Arlington and back with time to do some circles around Frisco in under an hour. Try that that in your car! After we touched down we thanked our pilot for a great tour. We went home and reviewed our photos from a great time! So here is why I would recommend Starlight Tours. 1. If you have never flown in a small Cessna before this would be a great reason for you to. 2. Perfect way to show DFW to family and get some cool points. 3. If it is just amazing to see DFW from the air. 4. Try to do your flight on a clear day during sunset. I'm sure that would be amazing! Our night flight was cool, but sunset would be awesome! So there you go! Because I am a pilot, I will end by saying if you have a kid that is interested in flying. This would be a perfect way to show them what flying is all about. read more

My review is based on my experience but in a nutshell it was an anniversary surprise. Rented a hotel and drove over an hour to the destination. Started the flight, pilot was very nice and everything was looking great. Then when we got to the end of the runway one of the spark plugs was not firing. So we turned back around and was told we have to reschedule. Thats not where the bad review comes in, we understood things happen and safety is the priority. Were told we would get a refund and a free flight. After a delay getting a refund we tried scheduling a flight and was ignored after that. Its been 2 months and no flight. No customer service and I'm the only one reaching out and not getting responses. read more

To say this company is amazing is an understatement. My husband thinks in a different life he would be a pilot. He is obsessed with all things aviation, so after hours of looking for the perfect experience, I found Starlight Flight. David was prompt, organized, so kind to answer any questions I had, and set us up with an incredible pilot named Alex. He was so incredibly intelligent and clearly has a passion for sharing his great love of all things that fly with others. Alex has been flying since he was in 7th grade and drives a plane like any one of us drive a car- comfortable, confident and put any concerns you may have as a new small plane flyer at ease. He even let my husband try out the pedals on the landing strip and help pull the plane into the air! We will be coming back year after year. If I could give this company a million stars I would. read more

A random google search led me here. Had a minor with me. The pilot was patient and explanatory. Would recommend for a fun change of pace to your normal routine and even do it more than once to appreciate the different times of the day. So glad we had this opportunity. read more

We just finished a one hour flight that seemed like it lasted for three. Dave Snell and his Team do everything to make you feel right at home. We received the one hour flight as a gift and managed to cover Dallas, Arlington, Cowboys and Rangers stadiums and Fort Worth. Think you've done it all, well not to you have flown with Starlight Flights. read more

I booked the "Intro Flight Instruction" for my girlfriend and I under the impression she would get to experience flying the plane as she is wanting to go for her pilots license but instead we just got the flight tour. Although the flight tour was okay it was still not what I paid for nor what I wanted for my experience. read more

Grandiose experience with the one and only Mr. Snell! What a perfect way to see the city. Fantastic flight.

Great experience working with this business and planning my proposal. David Snell, the owner, was very informative, flexible and responsive. Look forward to another flight with them; next time to see the city lights. read more

Fantastic experience! David was very helpful when having to reschedule during high winds. Our pilot was very friendly and had lots of knowledge about aviation. Definitely recommend this for a birthday, anniversary or even just a great date night! Thank you again for a wonderful experience! read more

I would highly recommend this company for anyone wanting a tour, flights, or etc. David's work ethic and expertise was exceptional. His knowledge of everything was impeccable. It seemed like all air traffic controllers in the area knew him and the fact that he got a degree in aviation added icing to the cake. He's certified in multiple capacities of aviation and will even let you get a feel for being a pilot yourself. So if you want the best, then choose Starlight Flight!!! read more

I wanted to propose to my girlfriend in epic fashion, so I googled "best places to propose in dfw". There was a list of 10 places, & none of them stood out to me... until I saw Starlight Flight. And man oh man it was the best decision I've ever made. Owner David Snell went above & beyond for me. We first flew over beautiful downtown Dallas, then Cowboys Stadium, and then for the main event we headed towards Frisco. Our great pilot Michael Jones says through the headset to us "Hey what's that say on the ground down there?" My girlfriend looks down & sees "Marry Me" in bright letters in a field, then looks at me as I pull out the ring to propose. Needless to say it was the best day of both of our lives, & we owe a HUGE part of that to David Snell's company Starlight Flight. Fellas if you're looking to impress your lady whether it be for a marriage proposal or just for a hot date, Starlight Flight's aerial tour of dfw is the way to go. Trust me on this one, you will not be disappointed! read more

Starlight Flights was AMAZING. Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating to us. Our pilot Michael was so fun and friendly, it really made the flight that much better! We enjoyed a one hour flight which toured Arlington, Downtown and even the State Fair at dark, which was so pretty to see! Everyone, but especially our pilot, did everything they could to make us comfortable and happy. Michael even assisted my then boyfriend propose to me mid-flight with Champagne, Flowers and of course the ring!! I would definitely recommend a flight here and would even do it again myself! Thanks Starlight Flights for an unforgettable night!! :) read more
