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: the organizer’s list of allowed items is not published yet. Full list: what to bring to an airshow.
