What To Expect What To WearAnd More…
HOW LONG BEFORE THE FLIGHT TIME SHOULD I ARRIVE?
Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your flight time, so you can sign-in, put on your gear and receive your pre-flight training.
DO I NEED SPECIAL CLOTHING?
All your equipment is provided, and you’ll be given a flight suit, helmet and goggles to wear.
We suggest coming in comfortable clothing, which isn’t too bulky, so it can easily fit under your flight suit. Trousers or shorts and a T-shirt are perfect. You can’t fly in flip flops, so bring along some trainers, or other closed shoes that fit well.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
The full experience takes between one and two hours, depending on the flight you have chosen.
You will be flying for anything between one and six minutes. Flight times are usually in two minute sessions (2 flights taken together) with a short break between to catch your breath.
WHERE IS FLY-4-REAL?
Fly-4-Real is a mobile wind tunnel travelling around the UK, please check our locations page to see when and where we will be: fly-4-real.com/locations
HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO FLY?
Kids from 5 years old can safely enjoy the thrill of flying like their favourite superhero and as long as you’re reasonably fit and healthy, age is no barrier.
CAN ANYONE FLY?
Most people with a normal level of fitness and good mobility can take part in this fun and safe activity, however it is not possible for pregnant women to fly, or those with any severe injuries or fractures, or those wearing a plaster cast, or anyone that weights more than 110kg.
If you have dislocated your shoulder, have a back problem, or an underlying heart condition you will also not be able to fly –
NOTE: if you have had any of these conditions but are already back in good shape, please mention it to our instructors.
Please also note, we also do not allow anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs to participate.
If you have any conditions that you think could stop you flying, please contact us and we will advise you on a case by case basis. It is a good idea to check with your doctor if you have any concerns.
WHAT FLIGHT OPTION SHOULD I CHOOSE?
We have a number of different options to suit all flyers.
Beginners often choose 2 Flights, which is two minutes of exhilarating flying and is a great starter option. This gives you a great chance to learn, improve and really master the basics in one day.
Families should have a look at our Family Packs, where you can share blocks of minutes between you. We offer very attractive family discounts on these packages and because kids love the experience, the extra time gives them a chance to go back for more and master some really cool stuff.
Companies can decide from bronze, silver and gold packages, depending on your numbers and requirements. We can also offer bespoke corporate days for you, please get in touch and tell us what you’re looking for.
HOW DO I CONTACT YOU?
If you have any questions, you can drop us an email, or give us a call and we’d be happy to advise. See our Contact Page for all our details.
You can also pop in, take a look around and talk to the team in person if you want to plan a corporate day or birthday party with us. We look forward to hearing from you.
