These guides cover the practical side of booking and doing a jump. They explain what happens from check-in and weigh-in to the fall and recovery, what jumps cost at well-known sites and what the price includes, how weather cancellations and refunds usually work, and what travel insurance and the waiver do and do not cover.
They also help with the choices you make along the way: solo or tandem, which type of jump suits you (bridge, crane, swing, catapult and more), whether you can bring a camera, and what to ask an operator if you have a disability. If this is your first jump, read the jump-day guide first, then the cost and weather guides before you book.
