What my AFF course cost in 2023

$4,700 for the AFF package, $1,899 for an iFly membership, $216 for a tenth jump, plus flights and nine days in Thailand. One person's receipts, not a guide.

My AFF came to about $8,326 SGD in 2023, and rather less than half of that was jumping.

This is one course, one provider, one person travelling from Singapore. It is what I paid, not what AFF costs.

Item Amount (SGD)
iFly bronze membership 1899
iFly coach fee 332
AFF package 4700
AFF extra jumps 216
Car rental 200
Accommodation 331.45
Flight 365.14
Insurance 122.16
Mobile roaming 14
Daily expense 890

Total: approximately $8,326 SGD.

The iFly indoor training is sold as optional. I doubt it is, for me at least. Even with it, things did not go smoothly - that is the AFF course itself.

The AFF package covered nine coach jumps and equipment rental, and my provider arranged everything. Booking the pieces separately would probably cost less. I needed a tenth jump because I did not clear everything in nine, which is the line item for extra jumps.

The rest is travel, and it is travel because there is no dropzone in Singapore. I did the course in Thailand for that reason.

The $890 of daily expense is nine days of eating well in Thailand. I would likely have spent twice that at home.
