The Location and Booking Process
FlyStation Munich is situated in Neufahrn bei Freising, close enough to Munich proper for a day trip but with a more relaxed setting. The booking system is straightforward—most travelers book around two weeks in advance, which helps secure their preferred time. Once booked, you get an email confirming your exact flight time, which helps plan your day without surprises.
On arrival, expect a welcoming atmosphere. The staff’s attentiveness makes you feel at ease immediately. Before your flight, you’ll sign a waiver and participate in a brief safety and instruction session. This is particularly valuable for first-timers, as instructors like Linda and Alex receive praise for their professionalism and enthusiasm.
The Safety and Equipment
Safety is paramount here. The provided gear—flight suit, helmet, goggles, and earplugs—are all high-quality and clean. The instructors, such as Linda and Alex, are described as “great,” and they guide you step-by-step through the process. Their demonstration shows you what to expect, easing any nerves and making sure everyone has a clear understanding.
The Flight Session
The core of the experience is the wind tunnel flight—which delivers the sensation of freefall for a duration equivalent to two skydives from 16,404 feet (5,000 meters). Many reviewers mention how much harder it is to control than expected, which highlights the skill involved, even in a simulated environment. As one reviewer puts it, “Much harder to control than I thought.”
The instructors are praised for their ability to “boost” your confidence and make the experience accessible for beginners. The demonstration bodyflying show by the instructor adds an extra layer of entertainment and education, showing what’s possible once you get the hang of flying.
Authenticity and Fun
While it’s indoor skydiving, the sensations are very real, and the views of your fellow flyers or the instructor’s demonstration make it engaging. The personalized certificate of accomplishment marks a real milestone and adds a satisfying souvenir to your trip.
Additional Offerings
Photos and videos can be purchased afterward, though they are not included in the base price. Many find these captures worth the investment as they preserve the memories of their “flight.” The venue also offers discounted repeat flights, ideal for those wanting to extend their fun.
The Reviews Speak Volumes
Feedback from past visitors consistently highlights the excitement, professionalism, and friendliness of the team. Daniela, Brian, and others describe the experience as “magical,” “unforgettable,” and “a must-try,” with some mentioning how much they loved the stunning views and control they gained with instructor help.
How the Experience Unfolds
Step 1: Booking and Arrival
Most travelers plan ahead, with bookings typically made 16 days in advance. Arriving at least an hour before your scheduled flight time ensures smooth check-in and briefing. The staff at the front desk is friendly, eager to answer questions, and thorough in safety preparations.
Step 2: Safety Briefing and Equipment Fitting
Once checked in, you’ll attend a short briefing. Our reviewer Linda was praised for her clear instructions and enthusiasm. The safety rules are simple but critical—like keeping your body relaxed and following instructor cues.
Step 3: The Demonstration and Practice
Your instructor might perform a quick demonstration of bodyflying techniques or show you some tricks. This gives you a taste of what’s possible once you’re in the wind tunnel.
Step 4: The Flight
In the wind tunnel, you’ll float on a powerful stream of air. Expect a sensation of floating or freefall, with the instructor beside you for support. Many find controlling their body more challenging than anticipated, but the instructors are adept at helping everyone find their balance.
Step 5: The Show and Certification
After your flight, you can watch a demonstration or cheer on fellow flyers. The personalized certificate of achievement is printable afterward and a proud reminder of your feat.

- Think about your health—those with shoulder dislocations or injuries should consult their doctor beforehand.
- Consider purchasing photos or videos to relive the moment later.
