iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Charlotte

Hiw much does it cost? Is there a weight limit

Yes, the entire flying area is viewable 360° with seats and vending machines are in the same area.

Absolutely

Generally, no. There’s no jumping, no falling, and no experience is needed. You simply float on a column of air at about torso height of your instructor. There is no sensation of falling or anything that would make you feel motion sickness.

300lb. But some restrictions above 250lb.

Something comfortable. Not baggy.

The cost of an iFLY flight package typically starts at $74.99 which includes two flights for one person. iFLY offers a number of other flight packages to choose from that vary in price based upon the number of flyers, location, day of the week, whether you have flown before and how much time you fly. Find the right flight package for you by using our flight booking tool.

You cannot know the cost until you book a flight online. Answer a few questions and you'll get a price. Weekdays before 4 are cheaper than weekends.

I think the minimum is 5. My 6 year old just flew and had a ball.

All first-time flyers are required to take the training class. You’ll get a lot of important and helpful information as well as some pre-flight practice of your flying position. If you’ve flown with us once within the last three months, you don’t have to do the training session again and can book a flight as a Return Flyer.

To book a flight, please go through our easy booking engine on our website, or you can call to reserve at your local tunnel.

With the purchase of the High Flight, guests are able to fly higher and faster with their instructor than they would fly on their own. The high flight occurs during the last 15-20 seconds of the guest’s final flight. High flights may not be available to guests that are over 260 lbs, or to guest with certain restrictions.

Yes. You should remove any items that might flap around or become loose, such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, rings, and hair accessories. In addition, you should remove everything from your pockets. We do have lockers for your use, but we recommend that you leave anything valuable at home as we cannot be responsible for lost or stolen property.

Yes. We have larger goggles that fit over eyeglasses.

iFLY offers various packages but each First-Time Flyer package includes your training session, use of all the flight gear (helmet, flight suit, goggles, and ear plugs), your flight time in the tunnel, hands on personal assistance from your instructor, and a personalized flight certificate.

Flight reservations can be rescheduled or cancelled with at least a 48 hour notice. Large groups (6 or more), events, camps, skydiver/experienced flyer reservations require a notice of 7 days to reschedule or refund. Gift cards and vouchers are not refundable except as required by law.

During your flight session the driver of our wind tunnel will be taking snaps of you mid-flight. Don't forget to smile! All photos can be viewed immediately after your flights and they’re available to purchase in a number of formats (digital downloads, 6 x 8 prints and more). You can also access your purchased photos online for up to 3 months following your flights. Please note, due to flyer's movements we cannot guarantee the perfect photo but we'll try our very best. You can also share your photos for free on Facebook.

Each flight within the wind tunnel lasts 60 seconds and each package includes a minimum of two 60-second flights (turns in the tunnel). However, total flight length depends on the package that you choose. When jumping out of an airplane, the free fall portion lasts approx. 45 seconds. If you reserve a package that contains 4 flights, you will have 4 turns in the wind tunnel with an instructor lasting 60 seconds each. Some of our packages include double-length flights which lasts double the time at a reduced cost. The entire iFLY first-time flyer experience takes approx. 1 hour and 45 minutes from start to finish.

Yes, your safety is our primary concern! Our unique design with its wall-to-wall air column, along with our certified and highly-trained instructors, allows you to safely enjoy your flight session. Your flight instructor is with you through your entire flight experience regardless of your level of experience.

A vertical wind tunnel has fans at the top of the building to draw air through the flight chamber and then push it back down the sides through Return Air Towers. That leads to an inlet contractor that compresses & speeds up the air before it reenters the flight chamber. The result: a smooth column of air that enables you to fly.

Very simply, a wind tunnel is a machine that moves a lot of air. A vertical wind tunnel, which is what we use at iFLY, moves air in a vertical column at speeds high enough to keep a person safely floating.

We generally fly several people in each session. Your friends and family will be part of the same group, however you will fly one at a time in the flight chamber one-on-one with your instructor. Once you have gained more flight experience then you will be able to fly with others of the same skill level in the tunnel. If someone chooses to come to watch, they are welcome to accompany you through your experience and can watch from the observation area.

Your flight experience will begin promptly at your scheduled flight time. Plan to arrive 15 minutes prior to your reservation time to allow time to get checked in. For flight reservations at Hollywood and Oceanside only, plan to arrive at your scheduled flight time, no later than 15 minutes past your reservation time to allow for check in. To streamline your check in, complete your Flight Waiver online prior to arrival.

We welcome flyers from 3 to 103. If you have reasonable health and fitness you can fly. But do check the criteria below before you book. We’ll do everything we can to help you fly because our goal is to deliver the dream of flight to everyone! There are a few exceptions: Flyers must be over 3 years of age or older. Participants must weigh less than 300lbs. Women who are pregnant should not fly. Anyone with a hard cast is not permitted to fly. Individuals with recent back, neck, and heart problems should check with a doctor before flying. iFLY recommends people with prior shoulder dislocations DO NOT FLY! If you have any concerns or questions about whether or not you can fly, contact your local iFLY. Everyone who flys must complete a Flight Waiver, which contains further details.

Competitive indoor skydiving, also known as Bodyflight, shares many of the disciplines of competitive skydiving, such as formation skydiving and freestyle skydiving. Generally, athletes compete to successfully complete a certain number of maneuvers in an allotted amount of time. Athletes can compete as teams, working to complete maneuvers and grips, or as individuals. Each performance is recorded and judged by a panel of experts. If you’re interested, our instructors can help you improve your flying skills and take you to the next level of indoor skydiving.

Yes, there are. The International Bodyflight Association (IBA) has some excellent video tutorials. The IBA is the association that trains and accredits our iFLY instructors.

Not at all! It is the same as if you stick your head out a car window while driving. All you feel is the wind in your face. Just breathe normally, either through your mouth or your nose.

Flyers can be as young as 3 years of age and there is no upper age limit. Children under 18 years of age need to have a parent or guardian sign their waiver.

The instructors are trained to grasp the handles of your flight suit should you need spotting.

The iFLY experience lasts approximately an hour and 45 minutes in total. This will cover your check-in time, the training session, your flight time, and time after your flight to remove gear and look at photos and videos if interested.

Our primary concern is for your safety in the flight chamber so the tricks or flips are done by experienced flyers only. Some flyers are able to do turns, move up and down, and forward and backward during their first flight. Be sure to ask your instructor how to advance your flight skills.

Please wear well-fitting, lace-up sneakers, or running shoes. Other shoes are not suitable. Wear casual clothes, preferably pants and a shirt without a collar. You won’t have to change out of these clothes—you'll put your flight suit on over your street clothes. Individuals with long hair should wear it braided and in a low bun.

Absolutely! iFLY offers gift vouchers where you choose the flight package which they can redeem at a time that best fits their schedule or gift cards to let friends and family decide what to buy. Best of all, iFLY gift vouchers and gift cards never expire, so give the gift of flight today! In a hurry? Order online and we’ll email your gift instantly.

Appointment is best

The same. It was $176 for 2 flights a piece, 2 free videos and to fly high on your second flight. Sooooo much fun and over worth it. Looking to go sky diving by next year.

I believe they send you one after you schedule, but before you pay.

A few minutes but totally worth it. You are ready to come out when they turn the fans down and guide you out.

1st time flyers around $70 per person. Worth it!!!

For first timers, 2 flights are $69.95.

Yes.

Age 3. No height requirement.

Depending on the package that you have the base flight is 1 minute per flight. But if you have say a 5-minute package for yourself, they might do three flights at 1 minute and 40 seconds each. It all depends on what you have and what you decide with the instructor
