North Cyprus ~ FAQ

Q. Do I have to travel on the flight you use - for example if I live a long way from the airport your flight leaves from?
A. No, you can organise your own flight and we will quote you a price for the holiday only. Be aware that you may also need to organise your own transport from the airport to the hotel.

Q. Do I need my own equipment?
A. You will need your wing, harness, reserve and vario with you. For effective communication a 2m radio is required. Seeing as this is a coaching course you will not benefit fully without a radio.

Q. I would like to stay for an irregular number of days, can you accomodate this?
A. Yes! We can usually be flexible on this but be prepared to pay for your own airport transfers if the times and dates do not coincide with our pick-ups.

Q. Do you do group discounts?
A. We have no specific discount structure, but if you have a group of 4 or more and are willing for one person to be the contact for the group, then we will be able to offer you some discount.

Q. How reliable is the weather?
A. We never guarantee the weather anywhere in the world. We pick our dates to offer the best chance of reliable conditions and as a way to extend the normal UK season. We have now done 7 trips to this destination and the weather has been excellent for 6 of them, with one week where we only flew on 2 days.

Q. What if it is unflyable?
A. We have a repertoire of activities and places to visit in reserve for these occasions, ranging from lounging around the hotel pool to karting and sight seeing. The hotel is well equipped with leisure facilities and is a short stroll from the sea.

Q. Can I bring my non-flying partner and/or family?
A. Yes! We can organise the hotel room to suit and we can accomodate non-flyers on some of the flyable days (we always need photographers!). There are usually other non-flyers in the group and they often share the cost of a hire car to get around independently.
