An Aerobatic Flight as a Gift

An experience gift only works if the recipient can use it. Check these before buying an aerobatic flight for somebody else, and how to buy it so that they, rather than you, choose the details.

Check three numbers first

Before anything else, make sure the person fits the aircraft limits: age 13 or over (under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign on the day), weight up to 110 kg and height up to about 195 cm. These come from mass and balance calculations and from the emergency parachute rating, so there is no flexibility, and it makes for an unpleasant conversation on the day. Serious cardiovascular conditions, epilepsy and pregnancy rule a flight out.

If you are unsure about weight or equipment fit, ask us before buying. A fixed-value voucher does not change the participation requirements.

Which package for whom

When you do not know which to pick

Buy a fixed-value voucher: 2,000, 3,000 or 5,000 PLN. The recipient chooses the package when booking and pays any difference themselves. At the current price, a 3,000 PLN voucher requires a 111 PLN top-up for Adrenaline. Check the participation requirements before buying.

How the voucher works

Timing and the season

Flying runs April to October, so a voucher bought in December will be used in the spring. That is normal and nobody loses anything, because twelve months of validity is designed around it. What does matter is not buying for a date: gifting "your flight is on the 14th" invites the weather to ruin it. Give the voucher, let them choose the day.

The extras worth adding

The 360° onboard video at 299 PLN is the one people regret skipping, because the footage cannot be recovered after the flight, since the cameras have to be fitted beforehand. A ground photographer is 249 PLN for a minimum of five images within 48 hours, and a framed A3 print of the best frame is 199 PLN.

Frequently asked questions

How long is an aerobatic flight voucher valid?

Twelve months from the date of purchase. Since the flying season runs April to October, a voucher bought in winter is used in the spring.

How quickly does the voucher arrive?

As a PDF after payment confirmation, carrying a unique code. It can also be scheduled to arrive by email on a chosen future date.

Can a couple fly together in the same aircraft?

No. The Extra 300L carries the pilot and one participant, so couples fly consecutively on the same day, each watching the other. That is exactly what the Couple and Couple Adrenaline packages cover.

What if I do not know which package to choose?

Buy a fixed-value voucher at 2,000, 3,000 or 5,000 PLN and let the recipient choose the package when booking. At the current price, a 3,000 PLN voucher requires a 111 PLN top-up for Adrenaline.

What if the person turns out not to meet the limits?

Check before buying: age 13 and over, weight up to 110 kg, height up to about 195 cm, and no serious cardiovascular condition, epilepsy or pregnancy. These are aircraft and parachute limits and cannot be waived.

Fly it yourself
