The details

Book a flight time on iFLY's site first, then plan the ride around it. Packages come with two, four or ten flights; prices and open times are on iFLY's booking page and change, so check them for your date. Friends and family can watch from the glass for free.

What it is

A vertical wind tunnel blows air upward hard enough to hold you up, so you get the free-fall feeling of skydiving without the plane. An instructor is with you on every flight, and first-time flyers watch a short preflight video on safety and the basic body position first.

If this happens, do this

  • You're on a layover

    The visit takes about 90 minutes plus the ride each way, and you'll go back through security at SEA.

    Only with five hours or more and nothing to recheck; book the flight time before you leave the airport.

  • You're bringing a group or a party

    Everyone checks in, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign the waiver.

    Book a party or group package, arrive 15 minutes early, and book a car that seats everyone.

  • Someone is near the weight limit or has an injury

    iFLY may evaluate at check-in or turn a flyer away for safety.

    Ask iFLY before you book rather than finding out at the counter.
