How Do You Improve Your RIAT Experience? Share Your Story!


Thank you for taking your time in visiting this new guide to RIAT, created by a long-serving RIAT attendee.

Over the years, I’ve learned a lot from attending the Royal International Air Tattoo. From early morning arrivals to surviving the mud, figuring out the best photo spots, and picking the perfect campsite, it’s all part of the adventure. That’s why I wanted to build this guide, to help others make the most of their RIAT experience and create unforgettable memories.

Now, I want to hear from you.


How have you improved your RIAT experience over the years?


Whether you've learned how to:

  • Keep the kids entertained during long display days,

  • Choose the best photography gear for capturing fast jets,

  • Find quiet and friendly campsites nearby,

  • Book hotels or other accommodation that makes early starts easier,

  • Or simply figured out your ideal daily routine for the show...


Your insights can help others enjoy RIAT even more, especially first-time visitors.

I’m looking to collect both positive and negative experiences ,and more importantly, how

you changed the way you "do RIAT" as a result.

So, please share your tips, stories, and lessons learned. How has your RIAT evolved over the years? What would you never do again? And what’s one trick or habit that completely changed your RIAT game?

Drop your comments below, or get in touch via the contact form if you'd like to contribute a longer write-up.

Let’s build a community of RIAT veterans and newcomers alike, helping each other enjoy the world’s greatest air show to the fullest!
