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, however, how long the document remains valid, what to do if plans change, and what happens when clouds gather over the airfield.
How does a skydiving voucher in Wrocław work?
A voucher is a pre-paid entitlement to make a jump at any of our zones, but simply having it does not yet reserve any day in the calendar. Skydiving in Wrocław takes place seasonally at Szymanów airfield from April to October, so the date is set only after purchase, via the reservation form. You can redeem the voucher at any of our zones, including Mazury and Hel — and if it was purchased for another zone, a jump in Wrocław requires an additional fee. Szymanów airfield is about a 30-minute drive from the city center.
The voucher purchase and activation process
The purchase is made online: we choose the zone, then the jump variant, 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 variant includes three options:
- tandem jump from 4000 meters, from 1099 złotych,
- package with cameraman and photos, from 1499 złotych,
- VIP jump with double filming, from 1699 złotych.
The price of each includes training, equipment, 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 in a season lasting from April to October gives you realistically one full window to complete the jump. Redeeming it involves booking a date online using the voucher number, and then arriving at the airfield at the appointed time with an ID 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 completion 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 in that case the fee rises to 650 złotych, so keeping track of the deadline is often simply cheaper than fixing it later. For both operations, all you need is the number visible 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 booked 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 is completely different when the jump is canceled due to weather, because then it is moved to another day without any consequences, without losing the document’s validity, and without additional costs for the participant. Flights are suspended in the event of too strong wind, a low cloud base, and precipitation, and the decision is made by the zone, guided by safety rather than the participants’ plans, so it is better not to leave the jump for the last weeks of the season, when a date can easily be lost because of one cloudy weekend.
