Frequently asked questions
The questions we get asked most about tandem flights and courses. If you can't find yours, message us on WhatsApp.
Tandem flights
I've never flown before. Do I need experience?
No. A licensed pilot flies the tandem. You get a short briefing and only need to run a few steps at take-off.
Are there age or weight limits?
Generally, passengers over 7 years old and under 110 kg can fly. A doctor's approval is recommended for those over 65. If you're close to a limit, message us on WhatsApp.
Do I need to pay in advance?
No. Leave a request via the form or WhatsApp and we confirm on WhatsApp. You pay on the day of the flight.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We don't fly and you don't pay. We'll offer you a new date.
Is hotel transfer included?
Transfer within the region is included. If you're staying outside the area, share your location on WhatsApp.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes and closed, laced sports shoes. It can be cooler at take-off, so bring a light layer.
When do I get my video and photos?
They are sent via WhatsApp on the same day.
