About 10 minutes one way in standard mode, with extended flights of up to 13 minutes during quieter periods so you can enjoy the view.

It runs in most conditions but closes in high winds — typically gusts above around 50 mph — and during thunderstorms.

Yes. Both bikes and pushchairs are welcome at no extra charge. Cabins are step-free.
