What the shared-basket flight feels like
Expect a three-hour window for the entire outing, with roughly one hour spent aloft in a shared basket. The activity is weather dependent; when conditions cooperate you’ll lift off for a serene float over wide inland terrain, returning to the ground for a celebratory toast and included local tasting and breakfast credits—there’s even the occasional opportunity to watch a skydiver exhibition from thousands of feet.
