We will always make every effort to fly on your scheduled date and time, but we cannot guarantee a flight. Aviation is weather- and safety-dependent, and conditions can change quickly—sometimes even after you’ve arrived at the airport. For safety, we may need to delay, postpone, or cancel a flight due to weather, wind, pilot availability, aircraft availability/maintenance, airspace restrictions, or other operational considerations. If we’re unable to fly as scheduled, we’ll contact you as soon as possible and reschedule your flight for the earliest available opportunity.

It is important to make a reservation so that you can fly at your preferred date and time. Simply click Book Now or give us a call on (941) 336-4966.

You can book directly on our website or by calling our office. Once your reservation is confirmed, you’ll receive an email with all the details you need for your flight.

We ask that you call us 24 hours ahead of your scheduled tour in the event you need to cancel or reschedule. Flights purchased are non-refundable unless we have to cancel due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Suncoast Biplanes, its pilots, and agents, reserve the right to cancel a tour for any reason.

Yes! Gift cards are available year-round and make the perfect present for birthdays, anniversaries, or anyone who loves adventure.

Absolutely. Safety is our top priority. Our aircraft are meticulously maintained, inspected before every flight, and flown by FAA-certified pilots with years of experience.

Our biplane is maintained by licensed aviation mechanics and undergoes regular inspections in strict compliance with FAA regulations.

Not at all! You’ll be a passenger while our experienced pilot takes care of everything. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.

Technically, no. However, kids under 12 need to be accompanied by an adult. We have flown passengers as young as 4 and others well into their 80s. Our recommendations are based more on size and mobility than on age. Children under 4 are unlikely to be able to see out because the passenger cockpit is high-sided. We can provide a booster seat for younger children. As for our older friends…all they need is to be able to get into and out of the airplane safely.

Weight limitations are variable and depend on the amount of fuel onboard, the weather conditions, the weight of the pilot, and other factors.  As a general rule, we recommend the combined weight of two passengers not exceed 400 pounds, but we reserve the right to limit the flight to one passenger depending on the combination of current conditions.

Most people do not experience motion sickness, as our flights are smooth and scenic and you are in an open environment. If you’re prone to it, we recommend eating a light meal beforehand and taking any usual remedies. We offer ginger chews and pressure point bands as well.

It can be breezy and loud in an open cockpit, but we provide comfortable headsets so you can hear your pilot and enjoy the ride.

Our biplane seats two passengers side by side, so you can share the adventure with a friend or loved one. For weight and balance reasons, aerobatic flights are limited to one passenger.

Flights cover stunning views of the area. Depending on which tour you purchase, you’ll see coastline, rivers, and other landmarks. Exact routes vary depending on your chosen package.

Yes! We offer standard routes, but custom flights can be arranged if you have a special destination or experience in mind. Give us a call for more details.

The short answer—whatever makes you comfortable! You'll be flying between 500 and 1,000 feet with the wind in your hair, so if you tend to get chilly, a light jacket is a good idea during the cooler months. Then again, it’s never really cold here on Florida’s beautiful Suncoast! We recommend—no heels, dresses, or skirts.

Yes you can! We will provide you with a lanyard strap to make sure it remains in the plane!

We’re planning to offer aerobatic tours in the near future. Right now, all flights are smooth, scenic rides (no loops or rolls yet). Join our email list to be the first to know when aerobatic flights launch.

All Punta Gorda flights take off and land at the PGD Air Center on Challenger Blvd. For the most accurate directions, simply search "PGD Air Center" in your phone’s navigation app. Entering the exact address may occasionally lead to an incorrect location.

Venice flights leave from Skyport Aviation - 400 Airport Ave E, Venice.

Please arrive promptly at your scheduled reservation time. Upon arrival, you'll meet with one of our staff members to check-in and have a safety briefing. Once outside, your pilot will introduce you to Gracie before helping you into the cockpit.

Yes - there is ample free parking at the PGD Air Center.

We ask passengers to arrive at the scheduled time. We will take the first 20-30 minutes for check-in, safety briefing, pictures, and an introduction to Gracie.

Our pilot is very knowledgeable about local weather patterns. He will make every effort to fly you at your scheduled time. However, safety (yours, ours, and the airplane’s!)  is paramount. The decision to fly – or not – is at the sole discretion of the pilot. Should we need to postpone a flight due to weather, we will reschedule you at your earliest convenience.

You may bring a camera (or your phone) to capture the many sights you’ll see from the air…but we remind you to look outside and enjoy the experience! Cameras should have a neck strap, and we provide neck straps for phones. They still need to be held tightly…”Keep your hands and arms inside the ride at all times!”

Yes. You can review it here.
