Buy A Flight Voucher
About Flight Vouchers
Our flight vouchers allow you to purchase a flight for yourself, or as a gift for friends or family. When you purchase your voucher, you can have it sent to you directly. Or if you name a different recipient when you complete the on-line form, you’ll receive payment confirmation, and they’ll receive the flight voucher, with a personal message from you. Payment is made using a secure credit card transaction directly on our site.
All vouchers must be converted into a flight booking within 90 days of purchase; weekend flights can be booked up to nine months ahead directly on our on-line calendar; midweek flights, half-day courses, and motor glider flights are typically booked after a conversation about suitable dates with the club. You or the recipient will have the option to reschedule a flight booking if you need to, or extend the validity period of the voucher, for a small admin charge. If the weather on the day is unsuitable for flying, we may need to ask you to re-schedule (free-of-charge). Once the flight is booked, we’ll send a reminder by text and email a couple of days before the scheduled time.

The introductory gliding course provides one-to-one tuition for those who would like a more in-depth experience. This course is normally only available midweek and consists of 3 x 2500ft launches
Introductory Flights
All gliding experiences start with a briefing by one of our fully qualified instructors who will explain all of the safety aspects of your flight and also introduce you to the dual controlled glider and make sure you are comfortable. A tug plane will then tow you to the necessary height. Once you have released from the tow plane your pilot will invite you to take the glider controls or you can simply sit back and enjoy the ride while the instructor flies. If you like you can record the flight on your camera.
Standard, Enhanced and Premium Trial Flights take place at Weekends, whilst half day courses are generally only flown midweek. Flights for groups of 4 or more people may take place midweek, subject to instructor availability
Anyone having an introductory flight with us is also entitled to one month’s full membership of the club. This enables them to use all of the facilities of the Club, and undertake instruction in the club gliders at normal club member’s rates on subsequent days.
