Covid-19 pandemic
Our Trial Flight vouchers will have an extended expiry date (12 months – normally 9 months) so you can book your flight(s) now in the knowledge that you won’t miss your flight(s).
Lost for ideas for a special present?
Why not give a Trial Flight gift voucher where the recipient can enjoy the views of London and begin to learn the basics of flying a glider.
The Surrey Hills Gliding Club offers three types of voucher for those who wish to experience the thrill of gliding. A voucher makes a great present to celebrate any occasion, or maybe you need something different for that person who has everything or just as a special gift!
Vouchers are valid for a single person for winch launched flights in a two seat fully dual-controlled glider with a BGA qualified instructor.
Flight duration is weather dependent and normally lasts between 5 – 10 minutes. If weather conditions on the day are suitable then it may be possible to have extended flights that can be counted as two or more.
