Preparing for Your Adventure

What to Bring With You

Our flightseeing adventures require very little prep, but bringing the right items will help ensure a comfortable experience.

  • Shades are a must

    Clouds and snow reflect a lot of light from the sun. We recommend bringing a pair of quality sunglasses so you don’t have to squint against the glare or snow.

  • Pack a Snack

    We recommend packing a light snack for your flight tour & water. You are welcome to bring a small bag on the trip.

  • Take Lots of Photos

    Don’t forget to bring your phone or a good camera with an empty memory card. You will want to remember these views!

  • Dress in Layers

    We recommend dressing in layers and wearing comfortable clothing suitable for the weather conditions.
