Good to Know

Questions, answered.

We launch at first light, usually shortly after sunrise, when the air is calmest. Your exact meeting time is confirmed ahead of your flight.

Safety and beauty both depend on calm air, so we only fly in ideal conditions. If we need to reschedule, we'll find the next best morning for you.

Completely understandable, and very common. The lift-off is so gentle you'll hardly notice it, and Doug keeps everything calm and controlled. Most nerves melt into wonder within the first minute.

Yes, ask us how you can receive a group booking discount when you enquire. It's a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or special occasion together.

Comfortable layers and flat, closed shoes. Mornings start cool and warm quickly once the sun is up.
