What is the difference between a standard flight and a thermal flight?

The primary difference between these options is the flight duration and the method of staying airborne. A standard flight typically lasts 15 to 20 minutes and involves a gradual descent from the take-off point to the landing zone using gravity and basic wind currents. In contrast, a thermal flight uses rising columns of warm air to gain altitude, allowing the activity provider to extend the experience to 30 minutes or longer. Because thermal conditions require solar heating of the ground, these flights are usually scheduled during the warmer parts of the day. You should check the specific flight times and descriptions on the checkyeti activity page to choose the option that best fits your preference for height and time in the air.
