Gliding Experience Vouchers

Give a gift they’ll always remember. A Gliding Experience Flight is unforgettable. Fly with one of our fully qualified and friendly pilots and experience being gently towed into the sky by our powered tug aircraft.

Alternatively, choose an exhilarating high-speed winch launch.

Buy your voucher below, and we’ll take care of the rest. You can choose whether we email the voucher directly to the recipient, or you can print at home and give the gift yourself.

Either way, we’ll send full instructions on how to redeem the voucher for the flight of a lifetime.

  • Gliding is a highly weather-dependent sport. While that’s one of the things that makes it so much fun, it also means that plans have to be flexible. We’ll monitor the forecast, and if it looks like the weather will not be favourable to good gliding, we’ll let you know, and we’ll reschedule. Please note that it’s possible that your flight could be cancelled on the day since the weather can change quickly.

  • Especially during winter flights can get cancelled due to the weather. We’ll let you know as soon as we can if it looks like the weather will stop us from flying you. We’ll discuss the next available slot and make sure that we find a time that works for you. Don’t worry - you will get to fly!

  • Vouchers are valid for one year from the date of purchase.

  • We’ll give you a time to turn up at the club. You’ll be welcomed by our friendly members and shown around. You’ll receive a full pre-flight briefing from your instructor. You’ll learn how everything works and what to expect. You can bring family members or friends with you to share the experience and see you fly. They will be made very welcome and looked after while you are flying.
