Yes, children can take part from age 3 and above, as long as they can comfortably wear one of iFLY’s helmets. It’s a popular experience for families, and younger flyers are welcome as long as they meet the safety requirements on the day.

Yes, but iFLY recommends removing your glasses where possible or wearing contact lenses for your flight. There is always a small chance that glasses could move or come off during the experience. In many cases, larger goggles can be provided to fit over glasses, although this is not available for Virtual Reality flights.

Some locations may also offer full-face helmet hire, which can sometimes make wearing glasses more comfortable, but this is a chargeable extra and depends on availability.

It’s best to arrive in comfortable clothing and bring a pair of well-fitting lace-up trainers. Avoid collared shirts, slip-on shoes and Velcro footwear.

If you do not have suitable lace-up trainers, footwear may be available to hire. If you have long hair, it’s a good idea to bring something to tie it back.

Before your flight, you’ll need to remove all loose items such as jewellery, watches and rings, and iFLY will provide your flight suit, helmet, goggles and earplugs.

Although lockers are available on site, it’s still a good idea to leave valuables at home if possible.

Yes, the maximum weight limit is 18 stone 7 pounds (117kg). There is no minimum weight limit, but all flyers must meet iFLY’s safety criteria before taking part.

You can fly if you are aged 3 or over, are not pregnant, have not previously dislocated your shoulder, are not under the influence of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs, are not wearing a hard cast, and have a signed parent or guardian permission form if under 18, as well as a completed pre-flight waiver.

If you are unsure about any of the criteria, it’s best to contact iFLY before booking.

Yes, iFLY says that individuals and groups with additional needs or disabilities can fly.

If you or someone in your group needs extra support, it’s best to contact the team before your visit so they can talk through any specific requirements and help make the experience as smooth as possible.

Yes, parking is available close to all iFLY tunnels, but the arrangements vary by location. Manchester and Basingstoke both offer free on-site parking.

Milton Keynes and London at The O2 have parking available, but charges apply because they are based within larger leisure complexes.

At Birmingham, parking is in the NEC East 5 car park and must be validated at reception to receive the reduced visitor rates. If it is not validated, the higher standard parking charge applies.

iFLY classes a group as 5 or more flyers, and discounts may be available for bookings of that size. A single flight session can usually accommodate up to 13 flyers, but larger groups can still be booked across multiple sessions.
