Frequently Asked Questions

The answers provided below are based on answers previously given by the tour provider to customers’ questions.

Filter by:

Q:How does the Charlotte Indoor Skydiving Experience work?

A:A vertical wind tunnel has fans at the top to draw air through the flight chamber and then push it back down the sides. The air is then compressed & sped up before it reenters the flight chamber causing a smooth column of air that enables you to fly.

May 2021

Q:How safe is the Charlotte Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:The unique design of the wind tunnel, with its wall-to-wall air column, along with certified and highly-trained instructors, allows you to safely enjoy your flight. Your instructor is with you the entire time regardless of your level of experience.

May 2021

Q:What is a Wind Tunnel?

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

May 2021

Q:How early should I arrive for the Charlotte Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:It is important that you arrive on time for your scheduled session. Your experience will begin promptly upon your arrival so please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early for your reservation so you have time to check in.

May 2021

Q:Do I fly alone or with a group during the Charlotte Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:Generally, a group of up to 12 guests fly 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.

May 2021

Q:How long is each flight during the Charlotte Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:Each flight within the wind tunnel lasts 60 seconds. The entire iFLY first-time flyer experience takes approx. 1 hour and 30 minutes from start to finish.

May 2021

Q:Can I bring family/friends to watch, but not participate in the Charlotte Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:If someone chooses to come to watch, he or she is welcome to accompany you through your experience and can watch from the observation area.

May 2021

Q:Is it scary during the Charlotte Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:Generally, no. There’s no jumping, no falling, and no experience is needed. You simply float on a column of air. There is no sensation of falling or anything that would make you feel motion sickness.

May 2021

Q:Is it hard to breathe during the Charlotte Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A: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.

May 2021

Q:Is the Charlotte Indoor Skydiving Experience appropriate for younger children?

A: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.

An excellent experience to get out your comfort zone if you’re afraid of flying the instructors are very great with helping you through your fears and they walk you through step by step in directing you using hand signals in the tunnel so you don’t injure yourself differently a 10 out of 10 really looking forward in going back!!!

BUYER BEWARE! Make sure the proper name is on the ticket

Daniel_A, Feb 2022

Be very careful when you purchase tickets, I purchased two tickets for a young ladies birthday through her boyfriend. I put it in the boyfriends name because I did not know her name. Well, the boyfriend broke up with her and they would not let her use the tickets because it was in her boyfriends name. I called and explained the situation and they would not work with me one single bit! So I had $170 go right down the toilet! I was trying to bless someone that I did not know with a gift. She never got anything at all. I lost every penny! Beware

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Hi Daniel, we pride ourselves on our world class customer service and we’re sorry we lost your trust. We’d like the opportunity to make things right. Please give us a call and ask to speak to the manager.

angela_n, Feb 2022

Es muy corto el tiempo para el valor. No explican bien las instrucciones. Los trajes son diferentes y incómodos la primera vez que uno va

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Hi Angela, we work hard to provide value to our customers, and we’re disappointed this didn’t shine through during your experience. Indoor skydiving is a unique experience and difficult to compare to other activities. Although 2 minutes doesn’t sound like a lot, the freefall portion of one outdoor skydive is about 45 seconds and our basic package comes with 2 x 60 second turns—equivalent to 2-3 skydives—for about half the price. Thank you for giving us a try and sharing your experience!
