August 19th is a special day for aviation enthusiasts. It’s the official birthday of aviation giant Orville Wright – one half of The Wright Brothers, the American aviation pioneers credited with inventing, building, and flying the world’s first successful motor-operated airplane. The day was officially named ‘National Aviation Day’ by Franklin D Roosevelt in 1939, and the United States, along with frequent flyers and aeronautic lovers from all around the world, have celebrated the development of aviation on this day every year since.

The all-in-one travel app, loved by more than six million frequent flyers around the world, has launched a campaign to turn today’s aviation enthusiasts into tomorrow’s pilots with the opportunity to win free flying lessons.
Over the next month, AvGeeks from across the UK and the US can enter the contest for a chance to win a one-on-one flight lesson with a professional pilot in their home county.

The app’s AI-driven smart search tool, combined with a direct connection to airlines, finds the best flights that match your preferences, saving you time and money.
