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.
  • Clear bag Some venues, especially military bases, only allow clear or small bags. Check the show’s rules before you buy.

The show’s own rules come first: check the organizer’s list of allowed items. Full list: what to bring to an airshow.

Traffic on show days. Big shows close roads and fill car parks hours before the flying starts. The “By car” and “Waze” buttons open live traffic, delays and alternative routes for your own trip.

Road closures and shuttle routes for the show itself come from the organizer; we add them here when they are published.
