Want to fly on these rare planes in 2025? We can show you how

Flying on a rare or historic aeroplane before it’s too late is important for many aviation enthusiasts and, thanks to the latest update of our exclusive guide book, we can help you.

This year, if you want to try and fly on some of the airliner types from days gone by, or those that are becoming rarer, our guide Last Chance to Fly is your go-to resource.

Find out which rarer airliners are still flying passengers, and discover which airlines around the world are flying them.

Last Chance to Fly

Our guide book Last Chance to Fly covers around 50 different airliner types that are now increasingly rare to fly.

It covers all the important ones, from classic pistonliners like the Douglas DC-3 and Beechcraft 18, to Soviet-era types like the Tupolev Tu-134 and Antonov An-24, and even more recent airliners like the Airbus A340 and Boeing 737-600, which are now not very common to see or fly on.
