Bodyflying & Indoor Skydiving at FlyStation Munich

Forget the plane and fly indoors. FlyStation Munich gives you the strange, thrilling feeling of floating on a column of air, with an instructor beside you from start to finish. I especially like the complete equipment package, which means you arrive without a helmet, suit, goggles, or earplugs, and I like the patient, upbeat instruction from staff such as Linda and Alex.

The main drawback is time. The actual flight is only part of a roughly 90-minute visit, and you need to arrive one hour before your assigned flight time for check-in and preparation. The price of $78.44 per person is fair for a first attempt, but photos, video, and any repeat flight cost extra.

Key points to know before booking

• Your arrival time is confirmed after booking: Flying times depend on availability, so check your email carefully.
• You should arrive one hour early: The front desk is at Bajuwarenstrasse 1 in Neufahrn bei Freising.
• All basic gear is provided: You receive a flight suit, helmet, goggles, and earplugs.
• Beginners get a full briefing: Your instructor guides you while entering, flying, and leaving the chamber.
• The instructor show is part of the fun: After your session, you get to watch a bodyflying demonstration.
• Your certificate is included: You leave with a personalized diploma marking your first flight.

What FlyStation Munich actually feels like

Bodyflying is a simple idea with an unusual result. A strong stream of air rises through a vertical wind tunnel, supporting your body while you learn to control your position. You are not jumping from an aircraft, but your body still has to adjust to air pressure, balance, and small movements.

That last part matters. One customer described the activity as harder to control than expected, which is useful advice for setting your expectations. The first moments may feel less like graceful flight and more like trying to keep your arms, legs, and head in the right place at once.

That challenge is part of the appeal. You are not simply strapped into a ride while something happens around you. You must listen, react, and make small corrections. The instructor gives you the basic tools, then helps you use them inside the chamber.

The experience is designed for beginners, so you do not need previous bodyflying experience. You also do not need to own any special equipment. The package covers the flight suit, helmet, goggles, and earplugs, leaving you free to focus on the instructions and the sensation of being lifted by the air.

Arrive early at the Neufahrn flight center

FlyStation Munich is at Bajuwarenstrasse 1, 85375 Neufahrn bei Freising. The center is near public transportation, which helps if you are visiting without a car, though you should still allow plenty of time for the trip and check-in.

Your exact flight time is confirmed after booking and depends on availability. Once you have that time, plan to arrive at the front desk one full hour beforehand. This is not casual advice. You need to check in, complete the flight waiver, attend the briefing, and get suited up before entering the chamber.

Late arrival can mean missing your flight, with no refund offered for arriving too late. I would treat the confirmed time as fixed and avoid scheduling another activity immediately afterward. The full visit may take about two hours once arrival, preparation, flying, the instructor show, and the certificate are included.

FlyStation can handle groups of up to 100 people, although your own flight session may involve only your party and the instructor. The large maximum group size is worth noting if you are planning a birthday, team outing, or family activity. It also means the building can accommodate a busy day, so punctuality and attention to staff instructions matter.

The briefing makes this beginner-friendly

After check-in, you attend a short safety and instruction class. This is where you learn how to hold your body, respond to the instructor, and enter and exit the chamber safely.

The briefing is one of the most important parts of the visit. Airflow reacts to your posture, so a small change in your arms or legs can affect your position. The instructor needs to explain those basics before you try them in the tunnel, where the sound and air pressure can make it harder to think clearly.

You then receive your flight gear. The suit covers your clothing, while the helmet and goggles protect your head and eyes. Earplugs help with the noise of the wind tunnel. Since all of this is supplied, you do not need to pack specialist gear or worry about buying anything before your visit.

FlyStation also provides the flight session with an instructor. That personal help is especially valuable for a first attempt because you are not left to work out the airflow alone. The instructor assists you as you enter, fly, and leave the chamber.

The staff are repeatedly praised for being friendly, clear, and encouraging. Linda is singled out as a particularly good instructor, while Alex is praised for making the session enjoyable. Another customer described the team as warm and energetic, which fits the kind of setting this activity needs. A nervous beginner benefits from calm instructions and a little encouragement at exactly the right moment.

Entering the wind tunnel for your flight

When it is your turn, the instructor leads you into the flight chamber. You receive help with entering, positioning yourself, and making adjustments while the air supports you.

The first flight is about learning the feel of the airflow. You may need to concentrate on keeping your body steady rather than trying to perform tricks. The instructor watches your position and gives corrections so you can make useful changes instead of fighting the air.

The number of flights depends on the package you book. The supplied details do not specify a single fixed number, so check the option you select before paying. This is important when comparing prices. A lower-cost package may be enough for a first taste, while someone keen to improve control may prefer an option with more flight time.

The phrase go to the top refers to an additional part of the experience available for purchase in some packages. One customer described that higher flight as the perfect ending. It sounds like a worthwhile extra for anyone who enjoys the first session and wants a more dramatic finish, but you should confirm its availability and fee on the day.

Do not expect the flight to feel effortless. The air supports you, but your body position still matters. That makes the activity more active than a standard amusement ride. You are learning a physical skill in a short burst, with the instructor giving you just enough help to make progress.

The instructor show is a fitting finale

Once you and your party have finished flying, the instructor performs a bodyflying show. This changes the mood from learning to watching what an experienced flyer can do.

The demonstration also gives you a better sense of what the wind tunnel allows. Moves that seem difficult during your first attempt look controlled and fluid when performed by someone with practice. It is a useful reminder that your session is an introduction, not a test of professional skill.

For many people, this show may be the visual highlight of the visit. You get to see the same space used with far more control than most beginners can manage. If you choose an extra flight that takes you higher in the chamber, the show provides a natural close to the activity.

What is included, and what costs extra

The $78.44 price includes the main elements you need for a first visit:

• Full safety and instruction briefing
• Flight suit
• Helmet
• Goggles
• Earplugs
• Instructor-led wind tunnel flight
• Bodyflying demonstration
• Personalized certificate of accomplishment

That is a solid package for a special activity. You are paying not only for time in the chamber, but also for staff supervision, equipment, preparation, and the organized instruction that makes the activity suitable for first-timers.

Photos and video are not included. You can purchase them for an additional fee if available. This is worth considering before you arrive, especially if you are booking the activity as a birthday gift or want proof of your first flight. The certificate is included, but it cannot replace a video if you want to show the experience to friends at home.

A discounted repeat flight may also be available for an extra charge. I would wait until after your first session before deciding. Some people find the activity more difficult than expected and may want another attempt to improve their control. Others are satisfied with the novelty of one flight and the instructor show.

Food and drinks are not included, though they are available to purchase. You do not need to plan the visit around a meal, but it is sensible to allow extra time if your group wants refreshments afterward.

Who will enjoy FlyStation Munich most

This experience suits people who want an active break from museums, churches, and city sightseeing. It works well for couples, families, birthday groups, and anyone looking for a memorable activity near Munich.

Children can participate, and one Italian-language comment specifically recommends the activity for children as well as adults. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Since the instructors provide the briefing and flight help, a first-timer can take part without special training.

It is also a good choice for people who are curious about bodyflying but do not want the commitment of outdoor skydiving. You get the sensation of flight in a controlled indoor setting, with staff close by and equipment supplied.

There are health limits to respect. FlyStation does not recommend the activity for people with previous shoulder dislocations, acute injuries, communicable diseases, or open wounds. Service animals are allowed, and most people can participate, but you should consider your own physical condition before booking.

The activity is less suitable if you want a long, relaxed attraction with no preparation. You will need to arrive early, listen carefully, wear supplied gear, and make an effort inside the chamber. That is a positive for active people, but it may not suit someone seeking a passive sightseeing stop.

Is $78.44 good value?

At $78.44 per person, FlyStation Munich sits in the range of a paid special activity rather than a cheap casual attraction. The price makes sense if you value personal instruction, provided equipment, and a certificate, and if you want something that feels different from a normal Munich day out.

The value depends heavily on how much flight time your package includes. Since the number of flights varies, read the package details rather than judging the price by the total visit length. The full experience may take around two hours, but not all of that time is spent in the tunnel.

I think the price is reasonable for a one-time celebration or a carefully planned family activity. It is less attractive if you are trying to fill a whole day on a tight budget. Extra charges for photos, video, or a repeat flight can also raise the final cost, so decide in advance which add-ons matter to you.

The certificate helps give the visit a sense of occasion. It is a small item, but it turns the activity into a keepsake rather than just a short burst of entertainment.

Booking and cancellation advice

Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. Your exact flight time arrives after booking, so keep an eye on your email and do not assume that the time you prefer is guaranteed until FlyStation confirms it.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the experience start time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance are not refunded, and changes inside that window are not accepted. The cut-off follows local Munich time.

Because late arrival can also mean losing the flight without a refund, I would build in a generous transport cushion. Neufahrn bei Freising is outside central Munich, and a delayed connection or slow road journey can quickly eat into the required early arrival time.

My verdict: should you book it?

I would book FlyStation Munich if you want a memorable, active experience and are happy to follow a firm schedule. The friendly instruction, supplied gear, instructor show, and certificate make it a strong first bodyflying session, especially for families and people trying it for the first time.

Book it with realistic expectations. You may find the body position harder to control than it looks, and the actual flight time is only one part of the visit. If you want to improve after your first attempt, ask about an available repeat flight or the higher flight option.

Skip it if you have a shoulder history, a current injury, or no patience for early arrival and preparation. For everyone else, FlyStation offers a safe-feeling, well-organized way to experience indoor flight without jumping from an aircraft.
