FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything worth knowing before you start
The answers to the questions we are asked most often. Another question? Write to us at lovers@luxfly.eu.
Do I need to have flown before doing the HATCH PACK?
Yes. A discovery flight at LUXFLY is required before the HATCH PACK: you arrive already knowing what the air does underneath you, so the day is about progressing, not discovering. The HUMAN FLIGHT PROGRAM, on the other hand, is open to everyone with no prerequisite.
What is the difference between the two programmes?
The HATCH PACK is one day and 5 flight sessions, after a discovery flight. The HUMAN FLIGHT PROGRAM is two half-days, 2 × 7 sessions, with no prerequisite, and it goes further: three-dimensional navigation and group flying.
How much flight time do I actually get?
A session lasts 2 minutes in the tunnel. The HATCH PACK has 5 of them, so 10 minutes. The HUMAN FLIGHT PROGRAM has 2 × 7, so 30 minutes.
Is 10 minutes of flying not a bit short?
In a wind tunnel, time counts double. 10 minutes in the flight chamber is the equivalent of the freefall time of 10 skydives from 4,000 m — no plane, no waiting, and an instructor correcting your position in real time. It is the fastest way to progress.
Do I need to be fit?
No. Flying is about body position and precision, not strength. Our instructors set the wind speed to your build.
From what age?
From age 4, like all our packages. The wind speed is set for each person.
Are there any medical restrictions?
Anyone who has ever dislocated a shoulder cannot fly. The maximum weight is 120 kg. No flying after drinking alcohol.
How do I get the ProFlyer certificate?
It is handed to you at the end of the programme. Both programmes award it: what counts is completing the training, not a score.
What does ProFlyer status give me?
The ProFlyer rate of 175 € per 15-minute session, access to the dedicated slots, access to the camps from 385 € an hour for a minimum of 10 hours, and the option of sharing the tunnel with other ProFlyers. The status is validated once, for life.
How long is my voucher valid?
12 months from purchase, like all our packages.
Can I give a ProFlyer programme as a gift?
Yes. Both programmes come as gift vouchers, valid for 12 months.
