Booking a fighter jet flight
Every flight above is a passenger sortie in a two-seat ex-military jet, flown by a qualified pilot with you in the second cockpit. No licence and no flying experience are required. Prices are per person and include the briefing, flight suit, helmet and pre-flight screening.
Minimum age is 18. Weight and height limits vary by aircraft because ejection seats are certified for a specific range, and are confirmed before booking. Typical lead time is six to ten weeks, and flights are rescheduled rather than cancelled if the weather does not allow.
What a fighter jet flight involves
Every Jetify flight is a real sortie in an ex-military jet, flown by a qualified pilot with you in the second cockpit. You can shape the flight around what you want from it: sit back and enjoy the ride, ask for a full aerobatic display, or take the controls yourself in level flight and gentle turns. Most aircraft have dual controls, so pilots routinely hand over once you are comfortable.
Your day starts with a safety briefing and a fitting for your flight suit and helmet, followed by pre-flight screening and time with your pilot to agree the plan. Flights last from about 20 minutes in the MiG-15 to more than an hour on the longest Alpine programmes, and the whole visit usually takes half a day.
How much does it cost to fly in a fighter jet?
Jetify flights start from £2,400 for a 20-minute MiG-15 flight from Hradec Králové in the Czech Republic. A 20-minute L-39 Albatros flight from Brno starts from £2,500, a T-33 flight from about £2,800, Alpine L-39 flights from about £3,850, and the Hawker Hunter, the fastest jet on the roster, from about £6,400. In the US, L-39 flights start from about £2,650 in New York. Prices are per person and confirmed with the operator when you enquire.
Which fighter jet flight should I choose?
For a first flight, the L-39 Albatros is the usual choice: it is forgiving and flies from six locations. For a genuine combat jet, choose the MiG-15 or the Hawker Hunter. For a British jet in the UK, choose the de Havilland Vampire.

Before you book
Do I need a licence or flying experience to fly a fighter jet?
No. You do not need a licence or flying experience to fly in a fighter jet. You fly as a passenger with a qualified pilot in control.
Is there a weight or height limit to fly a fighter jet?
Yes. Every fighter jet has a weight and height limit set by its ejection seat, and the limits vary by aircraft. Jetify confirms them before you book.
How far ahead should I book a fighter jet flight?
Book a fighter jet flight six to ten weeks ahead. Alpine locations have shorter seasons, so summer slots go first.
What happens to a fighter jet flight if the weather is poor?
If the weather is poor, your fighter jet flight is rescheduled rather than cancelled, at no extra cost.
