Think outdoors and practical
You will spend time outside before and after the flight and need to follow boarding and landing instructions. Comfortable clothing, secure closed-toe footwear, and manageable layers are a sensible general starting point.
Ask Compass about the conditions and requirements for your own flight. A Temecula morning and a San Diego evening may call for different layers, and seasonal weather changes the preparation.
Keep your belongings simple
A phone or small camera is easier to manage than a large bag of equipment. Secure loose items and ask before bringing bulky gear. Leave your hands available when the crew needs you to board, hold on, or prepare to land.
Follow the pilot’s instructions about when to stop taking photographs. A great picture is not a reason to miss a briefing.
Ask the questions clothing cannot solve
Boarding a basket, standing during the flight, and following landing instructions are practical demands. Tell Compass about mobility or participation concerns before booking and ask for the current requirements.
For medical questions, seek qualified medical advice as appropriate. The website guide cannot decide whether the activity is suitable for a particular person.
Check your reservation before you leave
Confirm the meeting instructions, departure schedule, and any message from the team. Give yourself enough travel time. If the weather changes your flight, follow the information from Compass instead of assumptions based on the sky where you are staying.
