Soar above Texas Hill Country during an exhilarating hang-gliding lesson from Fly Texas. With this exclusive Local Deal for $49 per person, regularly $99, Travelzoo subscribers can learn aviation basics and take a series of solo flights in either Austin or Luling.
The experience starts with a preflight lesson on aviation and the rules of the sky, taught by a USHGA certified advanced instructor. Then, get comfortable with the equipment in ground school before you hit the training hill for five training runs. This whole experience lasts about half a day.
Or, for $359, regularly $599, spend the day immersed in classroom training, ground school instruction and 20 flights at the training hill. This package also includes the Hang 1 written rating test, which earns credit toward becoming USHGA certified.
Choose to glide in either Austin or Luling; both offers are available at each location.
