About this tour
When Charlie from our team suited up at FlyStation Munich, we got a proper taste of what skydiving feels like without jumping out of a plane. You're strapped into a wind tunnel the size of a small building—4.5 metres wide, 19 metres tall—where a controlled column of air lifts you horizontal. Two minutes in the tunnel equals roughly two skydives' worth of freefall time. The whole session runs about 90 minutes: 20 minutes of instruction and gear-up, then your turn in the chamber with an instructor right there. The setup's smart—you can watch from the viewing gallery while mates take their turn, and the walls are transparent so nothing's hidden. No experience needed, and most fitness levels cope fine.

What to expect
You'll arrive to find the facility clean and organised. The first 20 minutes is a proper briefing—your instructor talks you through body position, hand signals, and what to expect when the wind hits. Then there's a short demo where the instructor shows you how it's done, which honestly helps you visualise what you're about to attempt. When it's your turn, you step into the wind tunnel with your instructor right alongside. The air hits and your body lifts; it's disorienting but exhilarating. Two minutes doesn't sound long, but it feels substantial—enough to find your rhythm and actually relax into the float. The pacing keeps things moving without feeling rushed, and the transparent walls mean your mates aren't bored waiting; they're watching and grinning from the gallery.
Good to know
This genuinely delivers the thrill of freefall without the aircraft, parachute, or terror of actual skydiving. Brilliant for anyone curious about flying but nervous about the real thing. Works for most fitness levels and ages. The facility's accessible, and service animals are welcome.
You can't bring cameras or phones into the tunnel, so video and photos cost extra if you want them. Two minutes of actual flight time might feel short if you're expecting a longer buzz. Not suitable if you're pregnant, have recent shoulder issues, or open wounds. Peak times can mean queues, so book early if you're time-sensitive.
Bring nothing into the chamber—all gear provided. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Food and drinks available on-site but cost extra. Group sizes vary; you'll fly solo with an instructor. Confirm your exact flight slot after booking.
