Booking

How to plan a flight

This site is a guide, not a booking engine — here's the practical path from 'interested' to 'flying'.

1

Pick your experience

Tandem joyride, training course, or a combined stay-and-fly trip — decide the format first.

2

Share dates and group size

Flying is weather-dependent. Flexible dates give the best chance of a good window.

3

Confirm on the day

Operators confirm the slot the morning of, based on wind and visibility at the site.

What to include in your enquiry

  • Preferred dates and flexibility (weekday vs weekend)
  • Number of people and approximate ages
  • Experience type — joyride, course, or combined trip
  • Starting city (Pune / Mumbai) and transport plan
  • Whether you need accommodation as well

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book a tandem flight?

Weekends at Kamshet fill 3–5 days out in peak season (Oct–Feb). Weekdays can usually be booked 24–48 hours ahead. Courses need 2–4 weeks of lead time for instructor allocation.

What happens if the weather cancels my flight?

Reputable operators reschedule or refund — that policy should be confirmed in writing before you pay. Weather calls are made on the morning of the flight, not days in advance.

Do I need to pay in advance?

Most operators take a partial advance (30–50%) to hold a slot, with the balance on the day. Full prepayment without a cancellation policy is a red flag.
