Reviews
My sister and I decided to try something new and booked this flight. In September the weather was pleasant, though it was fresh in the morning, we took light jackets. We left Almaty at nine, reached by car in an hour, with a briefing along the way. At the airfield the pilot met us, showed the Cessna plane, checked the documents. The briefing was short but clear: how to behave in the cockpit, how to use the headphones. The flight itself took twenty minutes, we flew over picturesque places, the pilot commented on the route. After landing we rested in the waiting area, drank tea. We returned by twelve thirty, received the certificate. It was a bit confusing that there were no snacks, but there was water. Overall, we were satisfied.
We flew in July, it was hot, but cool in the air. The flight was 20 minutes, everything was clear.

Polyot dllilsya 20 minut, s vysoty otkryvalsya vid na gory. Posle posadki my pili chay v zone ozhidaniya i delilis vpechatleniyami. Obratno v Almaty doehali bez problem, sertifikat o polyote nam vruchili na meste. Spasibo za organizaciyu.

In autumn, I chose this tour as a gift for my husband's birthday. In September, the weather was warm, suitable for flying. The flight lasted 20 minutes, the pilot explained during it. The interior of the Cessna aircraft is small but comfortable. After landing, we were given a flight certificate. Overall, the organization was good, only the road to the airfield was a bit tiring. If I want to fly again, I will contact this company again.

My husband had long wanted to fly on a small plane, and I gave him a certificate for March 8. In March the weather is changeable, but we were lucky with the day. We left Almaty in the morning, the road took about an hour, along the way a safety briefing was conducted. At the airfield the pilot met us, introduced us to the plane, checked the documents. The pre-flight briefing was detailed: how to use the headphones, what to do during takeoff and landing. The flight itself lasted twenty minutes, the views were beautiful, though the mountains were hazy. After landing, hot tea awaited us in the waiting area. We returned by half past twelve. The flight certificate was handed to us. The only thing, we would have liked a softer landing, but that's nitpicking.
I ordered a certificate for my wife for March 8, but we only flew in March. The weather was changeable, but we were lucky with a clear day. The flight over the mountains was memorable for a long time.
