iFLY Paris

I recommend booking your session in advance, especially on weekends! I showed up thinking I could just walk in, but it was packed and I had to wait forever.

I think wearing comfy clothes is key. I wore jeans and felt kinda restricted in the wind tunnel. Next time, I'm totally going with joggers or leggings.

If you want to save a few bucks, check for discounts on their website or social media. I found a promo code that knocked off a nice chunk of change!

Don't forget to bring a camera! They allow you to take pics before and after the flight, which was super fun – but I wish I had a friend filming the experience too!
Aerocom Montgolfiere

I suggest checking the weather a day before your flight. If conditions aren't right, they might cancel, but you can reschedule easily if you have flexibility.

i recommend booking your flight early in the morning, like around 7 am. the sunrise views are absolutely stunning and the winds are calmer, making for a smoother ride.

Definitely wear layers! It can be chilly during the early hours, but once you're up in the balloon, it warms up quickly. You want to be comfortable for the whole experience.

Take a few snacks and water with you. They offer refreshments after the flight, but if you have a bit to nibble on while waiting, it makes the experience more enjoyable.
Absolute Chamonix - Parapente

I suggest you book your flight a bit in advance, as prices can jump up last minute. I saved quite a bit by planning ahead!

Don’t forget to check the weather ahead of time! We almost missed our flight because we didn’t realize it was going to cloud over in the afternoon. Total bummer!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and water for the trip... The ones available on-site were pretty pricey, and I wish I had saved some cash

If you're going to take pictures, I’d suggest going for the morning flights. The light is amazing, and you get clearer views without the haze that comes later.
Chamonix Paragliding

Consider wearing layers! The weather can change quickly in the mountains, and you might feel chilly on the way up but warm when soaring through the air.

i recommend taking the early morning flights around 8 am; the winds are calmer, and the views of the alps at sunrise are breathtaking!
Bring a small backpack with water and a snack. After the flight, you’ll get pretty hungry, and there aren’t many shops around right after landing.

I suggest booking your paragliding session a day in advance to avoid the last-minute rush. It really helped me snag a spot during the busy season!
Air Sports Tandem Flights

Don’t forget to bring your own GoPro or ask about photo packages if you want to capture the moments! I didn’t think to do this and missed some great shots in the air.

I suggest booking your tandem flight in advance. Last minute spots fill up fast, especially during weekends. I almost missed out because I didn't plan ahead!

Make sure to dress in layers! It was sunny at the base but pretty chilly up in the air. I ended up wearing an extra jacket that I was glad I brought along.
Rock Drop - Ecole De Base Jump

My advice is to ask the instructors for tips about the best vantage points to watch others jump. I learned a lot just from observing, and it made my waiting time way more enjoyable
Bring a good camera or a GoPro! You’ll want to capture the view from the jump, but my phone was a bit shaky. They also offer great photo packages, so check that out!

i suggest booking your jump in advance, especially during peak seasons. i thought i could get a last-minute spot, but it was super busy and i ended up waiting longer than expected.
Ecole de Parapente des Portes du Soleil

Make sure to wear layers, even if it seems warm when you start. The temperature can drop rapidly as you rise, and I was caught off guard, freezing up there. A light jacket was my saving grace.
Touraine Ballon

I recommend wearing layers. It can be chilly in the morning up in the air, but you may want to shed a layer as the sun rises. Comfort is key when you’re floating over those stunning vineyards.

My advice is to check for package deals. Some companies offer discounts when you book a balloon ride along with a vineyard tour. It’s a great way to save some euros while enjoying the local wine!

I suggest booking your hot air balloon ride for sunrise. The views are breathtaking, and it's less windy, making for a smoother ride. Plus, you start your day on a high note!
Avialpes

I suggest checking the weather beforehand. I had to reschedule my flight because of unexpected clouds, and that was a hassle. A clear day is a must for the best views

I think booking your flight in advance can save you some cash. I found that prices went up closer to the date I wanted to go, which was a bummer.

Make sure to dress in layers! The temperature can fluctuate quite a bit up there; I ended up freezing in my short sleeves. Not fun!
Aero-Bi

Make sure to book your flight ahead of time, you'll save a nice chunk of cash. I waited too long and ended up paying much more than I should have. It's worth planning this part well!
