I would like to buy one of these as a present for my roomate. If he ends up not wanting it does it cost anything to transfer it to myself?

Patrick M. asked 6 months, 24 days, 9 hours, and 58 minutes ago - 1 answer

Westside S.

Yes that would be fine as long as you use it before the expiration date!

I ordered this on Sat. 11/24/2012 and I did not get a confirmation or such in my email. Will you be sending it to me?

Jean A. asked 6 months, 24 days, and 8 minutes ago - 1 answer

Westside S.

Groupon directly sends you the email so you will have to contact their customer service to resend your voucher.

I understand from others who have done this that the instructor/tandem person takes most of the impact on landing, so it is a relatively "soft" landing.. Is that correct?

Margot W. asked 6 months, 24 days, 20 hours, and 56 minutes ago - 1 answer

Westside S.

Hi Margot We do mostly sit down landings, and it is relatively low impact, however there is always a risk involved in landing for the tandem passenger, especially if they do not listen to instruction....however this is quite rare.

I want to purchase 3 as Christmas gifts for our son and 2 grandsons (both 18). May I do this?

Debra H. asked 6 months, 27 days, 23 hours, and 15 minutes ago - 1 answer

Westside S.

You would need to create a separate Groupon account for each one you want to purchase.

What if I chicken out before getting in the plane or even before going out to Winsted?

Ann O. asked 6 months, 26 days, 18 hours, and 13 minutes ago - 1 answer

Westside S.

We do require a 48 hour notice for canceling or rescheduling otherwise we do charge a $50 cancellation fee if you wanted to transfer your Groupon, or forfeit the Groupon.

Westside S. answered 6 months, 25 days, 13 hours, and 39 minutes ago

I noticed that you have several height options for tandem jumps - I anticipate that this Groupon deal is for the lowest height, but was wondering what it would cost to upgrade to a higher jump? I have done several tandem jumps from another place in the past, and 24,000' sounds wonderful! I looked on your website, and the higher height options were substantially higher - why is that?

Steve L. asked 6 months, 25 days, 19 hours, and 13 minutes ago - 1 answer

Westside S.

Steve 24k jumps require onboard oxygen, they also require filing a flight plan with the FAA, take significantly longer time to get up to altitude, and more work is involved for the instructors. There is only one other place in the country that offers these jumps - Halo Jumpers and they charge double what we do. For any more specific questions please call the dropzone directly. You may upgrade your tandem jump to 18 for $100 and to 24k for $675.

Nitin A. asked 6 months, 27 days, 15 hours, and 37 minutes ago - 1 answer

Westside S.

No they are not included. Video and stills packages are $85 or $115 depending on which you choose. If you go to our website under the about tab, and prices, scroll to the bottom to see the video/stills differences. Thanks!

What happens if the person I give this jump to chickens out and doesn't use it? Can I get a refund?

Ann O. asked 6 months, 27 days, 18 hours, and 34 minutes ago - 1 answer

Westside S.

Once the person has boarded the aircraft, there are no refunds as the cost has been incurred and they will be riding the plane up and back down.

Westside S. answered 6 months, 27 days, 17 hours, and 36 minutes ago

In the details it states 1 per visit. If I purchase one and my wife purchases one, can we use both use the groupon the same day? Would we be considered 2 separate customers since we each purchased a groupon?

Andrew V. asked 6 months, 27 days, 22 hours, and 31 minutes ago - 1 answer

Westside S.

Yes you could each go at the same time :)
