Plan your visit
- Your show plan – your day, hotels near the show and what to bring.
- Trip budget – tickets, parking, travel, room and food from your own numbers.
- When to leave – work back from the gate time.
Worth bringing
- Hearing protection Fast jets are very loud, especially for children. Ear defenders or foam plugs make the day much nicer.
- Sun protection Airfields have little shade: hat, sunglasses and sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
- Folding chair or blanket You may stand or sit for hours. Check the show rules first – some sites limit chairs near the crowd line.
The show’s own rules come first: check the organizer’s list of allowed items. Full list: what to bring to an airshow.
