What’s involved
What every Jetify booking includes
Each booking is handled directly with the operator, from availability through to the physical requirements they set for the aircraft.
Accredited operators

Current on type, with a minimum of 1,000 hours on the aircraft you fly and a service background on it.
Included as standard

Time at the controls
In most aircraft you fly the jet in level flight and gentle turns, once your pilot is satisfied you are comfortable.

FAQs
Common fighter jet experience questions
The questions we are asked most often before a first flight — licensing, physical requirements, cost and what happens on the day.
Do I need to be a pilot to fly in a fighter jet?
No. You do not need to be a pilot to fly in a fighter jet with Jetify. You fly as a passenger in a two-seat jet with a qualified pilot in control, and no licence or flying experience is required.
Can I take the controls of a fighter jet?
Yes, on most aircraft you can take the controls of the fighter jet in level flight and gentle turns once your pilot is satisfied you are comfortable. Take-off, landing and any low-level flying stay with the pilot.
How much does a fighter jet flight cost?
A fighter jet flight with Jetify costs from around £2,500, $3,300 or €2,900 for a 20-minute L-39 Albatros flight in the Czech Republic. Prices are per person and vary by aircraft, airfield and flight length.
Is there a weight or height limit for fighter jet flights?
Yes. Weight and height limits for fighter jet flights are set by each aircraft's ejection seat certification, so they vary by aircraft. Jetify confirms the exact limits for your chosen aircraft and airfield before you book.
How much G-force will I feel in a fighter jet?
Most passengers on an aerobatic fighter jet flight feel four to six G at peak, held for a few seconds at a time, with some profiles reaching up to eight G. You are taught the anti-G straining manoeuvre in the briefing, and the pilot stops the moment you ask.
How far in advance should I book a fighter jet flight?
Book a fighter jet flight six to ten weeks in advance for most locations. Alpine airfields have shorter flying seasons, so summer slots at Sion and in the Italian Alps are taken earliest.
