Planning

Strangely, we never ask how long a skydive lasts but this is the opposite at a wind tunnel.

We replicate the skydiving experience and offer flights which are about 1½ times longer than a tandem jump. So each flight is about a minute, often a bit longer but never shorter than 50 seconds.

A double flight is about 100 seconds long. Please remember we are selling the exhilarating indoor skydiving experience which should never be measured in terms of time!

It may not sound long but as a first time flyer it will seem much longer during the experience itself.
Flyers under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (over 18 yrs of age) on the day of flight. The parent / guardian will be required to provide a signature for their waiver as well as attend the classroom briefing. If you are bringing a group / party, the organiser can sign on behalf of multiple participants as a guardian.

To save time, please complete your waiver prior to arrival. It is particularly important that you take note of the information regarding previously dislocated shoulders.
At iFLY, we're proud to empower people to soar beyond their own expectations. 

We believe that regardless of physical or cognitive diversities, everyone should be given the opportunity to spread their wings. Anyone who comes to fly at iFLY and expresses a desire for assistance will be helped by specially trained flight instructors and will be afforded proper accommodations based on their needs.

People with disability can use the promo code ICANFLY for 20% off an iFLY Basic or iFLY Value package. We also have dedicated All Abilities events, find out more here: https://ifly.com.au/allabilities

That's easy.
  • Dress in comfy clothes (shirts without collars are best)
  • Wear lace-up trainers
  • Bring a hair tie if you have long hair
If you wear glasses, we can provide extra large goggles that fit neatly over your glasses, meaning your sight is not obstructed during your flights. Contact lenses can also be worn under standard goggles but please note, there's always a small risk they may come out.
Firstly, we ask that every flyer completes a waiver before arrival which can be done online here. It is particularly important that you take note of the information regarding previously dislocated shoulders.

Please arrive at iFLY comfortably dressed (avoid collars and hoods) and bring a pair of well fitting lace-up trainers. We find that jeans, t-shirt and a pair of skate/running shoes are ideal. If you don't have a pair of lace-up trainers, don't worry, we do have appropriate footwear for hire

If you have long hair we recommend bringing something to tie it up and maybe a brush.

You should be prepared to remove all loose items and all items of jewellery before flying. Whilst we do have basic lockers on site, we suggest leaving valuable items at home for real peace of mind. 
All you need is your confirmation email (either printed, or on your phone is fine). 

You should complete your waiver online here before you arrive if possible, as this will save time on the day.
iFLY Gold Coast is located at Surfers Paradise with further details to be found here

We have several dedicated teams in place to ensure we’re able to answer your questions as quickly as possible. There are a number of ways you're able to reach us and we’d be delighted to hear from you.

You can send us an enquiry, and our team will scribe a response quickly and swiftly.

You can also call our dedicated customer service team on 1300 435 966.
No, once you have made your reservation, you have paid for your flight experience.

We do have a number of optional Extras that can be purchased on the day of your flight including photos and videos, a High Fly, extra flights, merchandise and coaching (all subject to availability). We don’t automatically include Extras in our flight packages as that would add an additional cost for everyone coming to fly and we don’t think that’s fair.

Some Extra's can be pre-purchased online and others available in store. If you'd like to know more about our Extras please get in touch with us at 1300 435 966.
Flight sessions involve occasional flash photography (the driver of our wind tunnel will be taking snaps of flyers mid-flight) and occasional strobe lighting.

This should not affect your ability to fly or spectate, but please contact us before arrival if you think we should know about any conditions such as epilepsy or seizures. We may be able to adjust our systems to accomodate.
No, it’s just like breathing normally! There is no specialist breathing equipment required. Just relax and breathing will come naturally.

If you do suffer from any breathing difficulties such as Asthma, don’t worry, in most cases you’ll still find flying a comfortable experience and be able to breathe normally. However, we do recommend you contact us with any queries so we can offer further advice.
The High Fly is the equivalent of a hot-lap on track day where instructors give you a taste of what it's like to fly like a pro! 

For the High Fly, the instructor takes hold of you and whizzes you towards the top of the tunnel and back down, twice!

Remembering that indoor skydiving is a skill based pursuit, we encourage flyers to be in control of their own experience and to fly independently of their instructor. The High Fly for that reason is an Extra and not a standard feature of any iFLY experience.

iFLY endeavours to offer the High Fly in as many sessions as possible but owing to the specialist training and experience level required, we are unable to guarantee it in all sessions, even if pre-booked. Additionally, it can't be guarenteed due to safety reasons for both the customer and the instructor, which is dependent on the stability of the person flying, as well as their ability to respond well to instructions; this assessment can only be made once the flyer is in the wind. Having previously done a High Fly does not guarentee that it can happen on a return visit.

Instructors that are able to offer the High Fly are among the most experienced in the world, undergoing hours of rigorous training before they are licensed* to fly with others. If an instructor with the appropriate license deems he can fly safely with an iFLY customer, and enhance their experience at the same time, then the High Fly will be offered.

Due to safety, High Fly's are unavailable for those that weigh 118kg+

If you have any questions regarding the High Fly, please speak to a member of the Flight team or give us a call on 1300435966.

*High Fly licenses are issued by the independent governing body of our sport, the International Bodyflight Association (IBA).
Calls made to our friendly Customer Service Team may be recorded for quality and training purposes only.

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 as digital downloads.
