How a route comes together
Flight, stop, return.
A route is built as one sequence. The outbound scenery, destination stop and return flight are considered together so the day remains balanced from departure to arrival.
See the full expedition schedules →Departure
The selected journey sets the departure area and the opening direction of travel.
Terrain
Mountain, coastline or alpine geography determines the visual character of the flight.
Destination
The stop is planned at a suitable location or aerodrome, subject to conditions and permissions.
Return
A different scenic routing may be used where operationally possible.
Operational context
What can change?
Weather, visibility, operational requirements, suitable landing locations and permissions may affect the final flight path, timing or destination stop.
Conditions can alter timing, visibility and the practical route for the day.
Stops depend on an appropriate planned location and the conditions that apply to it.
Where permissions are required, the route and stop are coordinated around them.
