No. Once you have made your reservation, you have paid for the complete adventure.

However, we offer several extras that you can buy the same day. Customers ask us why we do not include some extras in our offers and that's a good question. The concern is that if we included extras, the price would go up for everyone, including those who just want to fly.

However, if you want additional photos, videos, free falls or our high flight (vertical take off), you can add them on the day.

The locker to drop your stuff is free. But we recommend that you leave your valuables at home.

For more information on extras contact us.

The High Flight(or vertical take off) is a bit like being the passenger of a race car. Some instructors can give you the experience of the sensation of falling like a professional. They will hold you and spiral you up and down at high speed, if and only if you wish. iFLY would like to be able to offer the High Flight Up in all sessions but it depends on the level of training and experience required for the instructors and we cannot guarantee it.

Considering that indoor freefall is an exciting sport, we encourage you to learn to fly by yourself rather than being assisted by your instructor. That's why the High Flight remains an extra.

The instructors who can offer you the High Flight are part of the elite. Many rigorous training hours are required before graduating * to be allowed to do this with a client. If your instructor has the skills and can improve your experience, he will offer you the High Flight. If you have any questions, contact us, we will be happy to answer all your questions.
 * The right to do High Flight are awarded by an independent body called the IBA (International Bodyflight Association).

Strangely nobody wonders how long a skydive lasts, unlike the wind tunnel flight. We offer you the same feeling of free fall as during a parachute jump for one and a half times longer. Each free fall lasts 1 minute, often longer but never less than 50 seconds. A session like a kick-start therefore lasts 2 minutes. Remember that we offer you the exhilarating opportunity to fly, which cannot be measured in time !
It may seem short but believe us once in the wind tunnel it will seem much longer.

No, you can breathe normally, no need for an oxygen mask. Relax and breathe.
Even if you have breathing difficulties such as asthma do not worry, most of the time everything will be fine. If you need more information or want advice do not hesitate to contact us.

During your flight session, the wind tunnel driver can use a flash to take pictures of you.

This should not bother you, either during your flight nor as a spectator. Contact us before arriving if you want to warn us of certain conditions like epilepsy or convulsions. We may be able to adapt for you.

It's easy :
               - Comfortable clothes (jeans and t-shirt will be perfect)
               - Sports shoes with laces
               - Bring an elastic band if you have long hair

The technology used is simple, safe and efficient. The wind tunnel recirculates air into a flight chamber. To enter the flight room, go to the door and lay on the air until you feel lifted. Congratulations you are flying!

Your instructor will help you find a stable free fall position before teaching you the basic movements. Moves such as up, down, forwards, backwards or even turning are very easy to master, so you will quickly learn new tricks.

iFLY is one of those places where dreams come true. That's right, you will learn to fly ! Get ready to be carried in a column of air that replicates the sensation of free fall ! Fun, chills and safety are waiting for you.
It’s difficult to describe how incredible flying is, so we suggest you take a look at our pictures, videos and read our recent comments to judge for yourself what a great sport flying is.
