A voucher is a natural solution for tandem jumps, because the date depends on the weather, and the weather rarely cooperates with the buyer’s calendar. Separating the purchase from the reservation means we pay for the jump when we want to, and we fly when the conditions allow it, which is especially important for gifts. It is worth knowing how long the document remains valid, what to do if plans change, and what happens when clouds gather over the airfield.
How does a voucher for a skydiving jump in Wrocław work?
A voucher is a prepaid entitlement to make a jump in a specific zone, but simply having it does not yet reserve any day in the calendar. Skydiving jumps in Wrocław take place at Szymanów airfield seasonally from April to October, so the date is set only after purchase, via the reservation form. The document is assigned to one zone, which means that a voucher bought for Wrocław is redeemed there, and Szymanów airfield is about a 30-minute drive from the city center.
Voucher purchase and activation process
The purchase is made online: we choose the zone, then the jump option, and pay for the order, after which a confirmation with further instructions is sent to the provided email address. The store displays only offers active for the selected location, so the range of packages may differ between zones, as do the prices. In Wrocław, the choice of option includes three possibilities:
- tandem jump from 4000 meters, from 1099 złotych,
- package with cameraman and photos, from 1399 złotych,
- VIP jump with double filming, from 1599 złotych.
The price of each includes training, equipment, the flight, the jump itself, and instructor support, so the participant does not have to make any decisions on the day of the jump, because the scope of services is determined at the time of purchase.
How long is a jump voucher valid and how do you use it?
The standard validity of a voucher is 12 months from the date of purchase, which, with a season lasting from April to October, gives you one full window to complete the jump. Using it involves booking a date online with the voucher number, and then arriving at the airfield at the appointed time with an identity document. Gift recipients book the date themselves, so when buying a present, there is no need to arrange anything with them in advance, and it is worth making the reservation early, because weekends in season fill up the fastest.
Conditions for redemption and extending validity
The validity of the document can be extended online, without visiting the zone and without explaining the reasons, and this service is paid and costs 350 złotych. A voucher that has already expired can also be reactivated, although then the fee rises to 650 złotych, so keeping track of the deadline is simply cheaper than fixing it. For both operations, all you need is the number shown on the document sent by email, and the entire procedure is carried out remotely. The voucher is usually nominal, but after contacting the organizer it can be transferred to another person, which can be useful if the recipient changes their mind.
Changing the date and the impact of weather on the jump
Changing a reserved date is possible, provided it is reported in advance, usually no later than three days before the planned jump, which allows the zone to make use of the freed-up slot. The situation looks completely different when the jump is canceled due to weather, because then the transfer to another day takes place without any consequences, without losing the document’s validity, and without additional costs for the participant. Flights are suspended in case of too strong wind, low cloud base, and precipitation, and the decision is made by the zone, guided by safety, not the participants’ plans, which is why it is better not to leave the redemption until the last weeks of the season, when a single cloudy weekend can easily cause the date to be lost.
