What is it?

Flight Academy sessions are intended to provide young flyers (up to and including age 17) with the ideal environment to support and develop their flight skills, and meet other like-minded young flyers.

At 5 days notice, any available iFLY session on any day can be booked and flown.

Operating as a membership scheme, Flight Academy members enjoy 10 flights each month, PLUS they get access to 8 further exclusive member benefits:

Flight Academy gives members the very best price for flight time. Members will enjoy 10 minutes of flight time from as little as £60 per month.
