As most visitors to this blog probably know already, MiGFlug offers its customers the unique opportunity to fly a range of incredible fighter jets without being a pilot.

First, let’s look at the booking process. Flying a MiG-29 is not as straightforward as booking MiGFlug’s other fighter jet flights, since the MiG-29 is operated by Russia’s state-owned Sokol plant – the manufacturer of the MiG-29UB two-seater you’ll be flying in. Here are the steps involved:

  1. Choose your MiG-29 flight program. Over 90% of customers choose the Edge of Space flight.
  2. Send us your completed questionnaire and passport scan. These will be forwarded to the Russian airbase for clearance. After all, they want to make sure they know who is flying their jets.
  3. Let us know your preferred flight date. MiG-29 flights take place Monday through Thursday. We can sometimes make an exception for Fridays as well.
  4. Payment. Full payment or at least a down payment is required upon booking.
  5. Travel arrangements and visa. Our Russia specialist will contact you to help with travel arrangements and the visa process.
  6. Sign T&Cs, medical form, and disclaimer. Please consult a doctor if you have any health concerns.
  7. Fly the MiG-29! You’ll be picked up from your hotel on the flight day by your interpreter and driven to the airbase.
