You can jump from morning till night, you will specify the time with your instructor when you call him to get the appointment for your jump (previous appointment compulsory via the roadmap/itinerary sent to you on the day of the booking).

What happens if the weather is bad and I can't jump on the day I was supposed to? Or if any other factor makes it impossible for me to jump?

Your voucher is valid for a year so your instructor/pilot/staff member will offer you to rebook you with a different day of your choice. Suggestion : Call your contact on the premises early on the day of your jump for an accurate weather check!

What could prevent me from jumping?

Mostly the weather. Clouds, fog, rain… Civil aviation's authorization according to the air traffic. Tha activity of the centre and the number of jumper scheduled.

Directions to the centre, catering, accomodation - what are the options?

CATERING: It is possble to eat (sandwich and/or hot meals) on some centres - anyway your instructor will tell what is the best option nearby. ACCOMODATION : Some centres offer cheap accomodation options - and you can still find accomodaion near any centre that would not offer this option. The best thing is to ask your instructor or a staff member after your booking when you call to confirm your jump (contact details on your itinerary sent right after the booking) if you want to know all the possible catering and accomodation options on the centre. DIRECTIONS : A roadmap will be sent to you right after your booking so that you can go to the centre on your own.Some centres also offer shuttles from the train station but it's quite random. In every instance, you should ask your contact what's the best option on the specific centre.
