Has anyone flown Vivaaerobus?

I looked at it. How can they fly that cheap? It looked to me like $79 per person from Austin to Cancun. What's the catch?

i was thinking the same thing - maybe the catch is - - - - your hand on the hang glider - or the parachute cord - when they dump your gullible ass out at 5,000 feet enroute to their next drop

seems almost to good to be true

 

Ok, well keep me posted, worse case, we stay the week in Austin??? JUST KIDDING!!

I'll talk to Mike about it and see what he has to say.

And don't you mean, drive down Wednesday?? Only problem is that some of us have to work that day!

 

Just as long as we get there, right?

for that price ill even chip in for gas if they need it :idea:

marsh you guys seriously thinking about going

rob and tonya

 

It depends on work. If she can work out her schedule and I don't have anything that is a must do, then we're in.

BTW, on Vivaaerobus...leaving Austin April 30th & returning May 4th is $585.80 for two people.

hahahahaha....................my thoughts exactly, but after some of the
mil-air flights I've been on over here I'm willing to try anything once &
other than leaving out of the south terminal in Austin, which is behind the main terminal it wasn't any different than any other US flight. Other than the price. Also, after you put in your dates click on other dates & there's
some crazy cheap dates if you're flexible.

 

They fly 737's so all should be good. I am sure if they fly out of the USA that they have to meet certain regulations. The only problem is paying the price to get to Austin. If we fly we need to fly the day before and spend the night in a motel. If we drive to Austin we have that cost plus a motel. HMMMMM I will have to think about this.

Hey ffto depending on where you're coming from in Texas, southwest might get you to Austin early enough to connect for around $50 each way.

 

We are in for flying out of Austin Rob and April. Depending on how many people we have go from there, a have a few friends down there that might let us crash at their house. I am also telling them about the trip in case they want to go as well.
