How much does a gyrocopter flight near Sofia cost?+
The 20-minute flight is €120 per flyer, with a 4K video of your flight. The Rila Lakes flight is €490 per flyer. Hotel pick-up is priced per car, return, and paid in cash to the driver: €60 for up to 3 people, €120 for up to 6, €200 for up to 10 and €300 for up to 19. Checking dates is free; once we confirm, full payment by card secures your flight.
Do I need any flying experience or a licence?+
None at all. Your flight starts with a short briefing on the ground, and a licensed pilot-instructor flies with you the whole time.
Will I really fly the gyrocopter myself?+
Yes. Once you are in the air, the instructor hands you the controls for part of the flight and keeps watch, ready to take over at any moment. If you would rather just enjoy the view, that is fine too.
How high do we fly, and how long does it take?+
Up to 2,000 m, with the route and altitude set on the day by the weather and your wishes. The flight is 20 minutes in the air; be there 15 to 20 minutes early for the briefing, so plan on about an hour on site. The Rila Lakes flight takes about three hours in total.
Is there an age or weight limit?+
The maximum weight is 110 kg. Flyers under 18 can take the 20-minute flight with the written consent of a parent. The Rila Lakes flight is for adults aged 18 and over.
Can friends fly together?+
Each flight takes one flyer next to the instructor, so a group flies one after another while the others watch from the airfield. Tell us how many of you there are and we plan the order.
What if the weather is bad?+
Gyrocopter flights depend entirely on the weather. We check the forecast with the pilot the day before. If conditions are not safe, the flight does not go ahead and you choose a new date or a full refund. For safety, the pilot can also cut a flight short if the weather changes in the air.
Can I change or cancel my booking?+
Cancel at least 48 hours before your flight for a full refund. Cancellations less than 48 hours before and no-shows are non-refundable. If we cancel because of the weather, you choose a new date or a full refund.
Can I give a gyrocopter flight as a gift?+
Yes. Message us and we arrange it. The gift has no expiry date, and we agree the flight date directly with the person you are treating.
Do SoFun Card holders get a discount?+
Yes, 10% on the flight: €108 instead of €120, or €441 instead of €490 for the Rila Lakes flight. The discount does not apply to hotel pick-up.
