    Local tips

    Book sunset flights well in advance for optimal lighting and romantic ambiance. The golden hour transforms the archaeological zone into a photographer's paradise and enhances the overall experience significantly.
    Pre-order food and drinks via WhatsApp before arrival to ensure your selections are ready at departure. This eliminates delays and allows the kitchen to prepare fresh items timed perfectly for your flight.
    Arrive 30 minutes early to explore the craft market, enjoy appetizers, and acclimate to the venue. This buffer time reduces pre-flight anxiety and enhances the overall experience quality.
    If you're afraid of heights, inform the host upon boarding. Staff are trained to provide reassurance and comfort, and many guests report feeling completely safe once airborne due to the smooth, stable rotation.
    Bring a light jacket or wrap for evening flights, as altitude creates cooler temperatures. The wind chill is minimal due to the slow rotation, but layering ensures comfort throughout your 45-minute experience.
