Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Aspiring pilots can get a bird’s eye view (just try not to hit them) of downtown Chicago and Wrigley Field during a

two-hour private flight lesson

from Chicago Executive Flight School. The lesson,

offered on Travelzoo for $165

, includes an hour of flight time, sameday classroom instruction, and is fully supervised by an FAA-certified flight instructor. Students will be responsible for taxiing the Cessna aircraft, communicating with air traffic control, and performing in-flight maneuvers and take-off procedures.

Cub fans might consider reserving a time slot during a day game for a little added value.
