Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Briefing
Be sure to arrive 30 minutes before departure to complete safety briefings and secure your preferred seating.
Dress Comfortably and Warmly
Temperatures can be cooler in the air, especially with doors off, so bring a light jacket even on warm days.
Bring a Camera with Straps
Use camera straps or secure mounts since the doors-off experience exposes you to open air and wind.
Be Prepared for Motion
If you are prone to motion sickness, consider taking ginger tablets or medication before the flight.
