Bodyflying & Indoor Skydiving at FlyStation Munich

The most surprising part of FlyStation Munich is how quickly a short lesson becomes real flight. Inside the wind tunnel, the moving air supports your body while an instructor helps you enter, balance, and leave safely. You are not simply watching a stunt. You are learning the basic body position yourself.

I like the complete equipment package, since you only need to arrive in suitable clothing and let the center provide the suit, helmet, goggles, and earplugs. I also like the personal attention from the instructors. Linda, Alex, and Nick are praised by name for clear help and encouragement, and that matters when your first attempt feels harder to control than expected.

The main drawback is the time commitment around a brief flight session. The advertised activity lasts about 90 minutes, but you should allow two hours and arrive one hour before your confirmed flight time. The $78.44 price is fair for a first try, though photos, video, and any extra flight cost more.

Key points to know before you book

• Your flight time is confirmed after booking: Availability controls the exact session time, so do not assume you can arrive whenever you like.
• Arrive at least one hour early: Check in at Bajuwarenstrasse 1 in Neufahrn bei Freising, complete the waiver, and prepare without rushing.
• Everything needed for the tunnel is supplied: You receive a flight suit, helmet, goggles, and earplugs.
• The instructor flies with you in a hands-on way: You receive help entering, controlling your body, and exiting the chamber.
• The bodyflying show comes after your session: Your instructor demonstrates what the tunnel can do once your group has finished.
• Your certificate is included, but media is extra: Photos and video can be purchased separately when available.

What FlyStation Munich actually feels like

Bodyflying gives you the sensation of free flight without jumping from an aircraft. A strong column of air rises through the chamber, supporting your body as you lie face down and work on balance, arm position, and leg position.

For a first-timer, the appeal is not simply the thrill. You get a small lesson in how air controls movement. A minor shift in your arms or legs can change your direction, and that makes the activity more demanding than it first appears.

The staff guide you through the process rather than sending you into the chamber alone. Your instructor assists as you enter, helps you maintain position during the flight, and supports you as you exit. That structure makes the session suitable for beginners who may feel nervous about the first few seconds.

The tone is energetic and friendly. The instructors are there to keep you moving and focused, and the named praise for Linda, Alex, and Nick points to a team that puts real effort into encouragement. Expect them to help you try, adjust, and try again instead of expecting perfect control at once.

Check-in at Bajuwarenstrasse 1

Your practical starting point is FlyStation Munich at Bajuwarenstrasse 1, 85375 Neufahrn bei Freising. The center is near public transportation, which helps if you are staying in Munich and do not want to arrange a car.

Your exact flight time arrives after booking and depends on availability. Once you have that time, plan to be at the front desk one hour early. That is not a suggestion to treat casually. You need time to check in and fill out the flight waiver, and arriving late can mean missing the session without a refund.

The full outing takes about two hours, even though the stated activity duration is around 90 minutes. Build this into your day carefully. If you book it before dinner, leave enough room for transport, the early arrival requirement, possible waiting, and the session itself.

The experience is offered in English, so English-speaking visitors can expect to receive the main instructions in that language. Flyers under 18 must attend with a parent or guardian.

The briefing gives beginners a useful start

After check-in, you attend a short briefing and instruction class. This is where the staff explain how the tunnel works and how to hold your body in the air.

Pay close attention here. Beginners often assume the main challenge will be fear, but body control is the real test. The comments about the activity being harder to control than expected are useful. You may understand the instructions on the ground and still need time to make your body respond in the air.

The briefing also helps set sensible expectations. You are not expected to perform advanced tricks immediately. Your instructor will lead you through the basic movements and stay involved during your flight.

This preparation is one reason the activity suits people with no previous experience. You do not need to bring specialist skills, and you do not need to rent equipment elsewhere. The instruction and safety information are part of the session.

Suit up with the included equipment

FlyStation provides the flight suit, helmet, goggles, and earplugs. This keeps the planning simple and means you are protected from the strong airflow and noise inside the chamber.

The earplugs are a small but useful detail. A wind tunnel is an active machine, and the sound level is part of the setting. The goggles help protect your eyes, while the suit and helmet give you the proper setup for the flight.

You should still think about what you wear underneath. The supplied gear does not remove the need for comfortable clothing and suitable footwear. The information provided does not specify a dress code, so follow the center’s instructions when you arrive.

Once dressed, you are ready to meet your instructor and go to the chamber. The preparation feels practical rather than ceremonial. It gets you from arrival to flight without asking you to organize a pile of equipment yourself.

Your first flight in the wind tunnel

The flight itself is the heart of the experience. Your instructor leads you into the flight chamber and helps you enter, fly, and leave. That close guidance is important because your body can shift quickly once the air supports you.

Your number of flights depends on the package you book. Check exactly what your chosen option includes before paying. The $78.44 price gives you a useful benchmark for a first session, but the amount of actual flight time and number of entries can vary by package.

Do not measure the value only by minutes in the air. The price also covers the briefing, equipment, instructor support, and the organized process around the flight. For a one-time activity in Munich, that makes the cost reasonable if you want a controlled introduction to bodyflying.

Still, you should know what the price does not cover. Photos and video are available for an additional fee when offered. A discounted repeat flight may also be available for purchase, but it is not part of the base cost.

Your first flight may feel short because your concentration is high. You are listening to the instructor, trying to keep your body steady, and noticing every small movement. That is why an additional flight can appeal to people who want time to improve rather than simply tick the activity off their list.

The top-flight option and the bodyflying show

Some packages or add-ons may include a higher flight at the top of the chamber. One particularly useful tip is to ask about the extra option if it is available. A higher flight can give the session a stronger finish, but it should not be assumed to be included in the basic booking.

After you and your group finish flying, the instructor performs a bodyflying show. This changes the mood from learning to watching. You see what a trained flyer can do with the same air that had you working on basic control.

The show also gives you a better sense of the sport’s range. Your own flight is about staying stable and following instructions. The demonstration shows the speed, height, and control that become possible with serious practice.

That contrast is worthwhile. It lets you enjoy the spectacle without pretending that a first-time session will look like a professional performance.

The instructors make or break the session

Instructor support is the most important part of a first bodyflying session. The machine supplies the air, but a good instructor tells you what to change and helps you stay calm while you learn.

Linda is praised for making the session enjoyable, while Alex is noted for helping a participant who found control more difficult than expected. Nick and his team are also singled out for their encouragement and energy. These details matter because the instructor’s attitude can shape your whole memory of the activity.

The team’s role is not limited to safety instructions. They help you keep trying when your body position feels unfamiliar. They also provide the push needed to attempt a little more, including a higher flight when that option is available and suitable for your package.

You should still remember that instruction cannot remove every challenge. Bodyflying requires active effort and concentration. If you want a completely passive thrill ride, this may not be the right fit. If you enjoy learning a physical skill in a short session, it has much more appeal.

Who should book this Munich activity

FlyStation works best for first-timers, active families, couples, and small groups looking for something different from museums and city walks. The experience can suit children as well, provided the required arrangements for anyone under 18 are followed.

Most people can participate, but there are clear health limits. The activity is not recommended if you have had a prior shoulder dislocation, an acute injury, a communicable disease, or an open wound.

You should treat those restrictions seriously. The wind and body position place physical demands on you, and the staff need a safe environment for everyone in the chamber. If you are unsure about your condition, seek medical advice before booking rather than waiting until check-in.

Service animals are allowed, and the center is near public transportation. The activity can accommodate up to 100 people, though your own session will depend on the assigned schedule and package.

Is $78.44 good value?

At $78.44 per person, I see this as a special-occasion activity rather than an everyday Munich purchase. The price is easier to justify because it includes the briefing, equipment, instructor-led flight, bodyflying demonstration, and personalized certificate.

The certificate is a pleasant keepsake, especially if this is your first time in a wind tunnel. It records the occasion without forcing you to buy a souvenir afterward.

The value becomes less clear if you are mainly interested in photographs or extended flight time. Media costs extra, and the number of flights depends on the package. Before booking, check how many flights you receive and ask about any higher-flight or repeat-flight option you may want.

I would also budget for optional photos or video only if you care about having a record of the session. The certificate is included, so you can leave with something personal even if you skip the paid media.

Booking, timing, and cancellation

The activity is often booked about 28 days ahead, which suggests that popular dates and times may fill early. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability, and your exact flight time is confirmed afterward.

Mobile ticketing makes the booking easy to carry, but it does not change the early arrival rule. Keep the confirmation accessible and plan your route to Neufahrn bei Freising before the day of the activity.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the start are not accepted for a refund.

Should you book FlyStation Munich?

Book it if you want a hands-on thrill that feels more unusual than a standard sightseeing stop. The equipment is supplied, the instruction is built in, and the instructors help beginners through the tricky first steps. Linda, Alex, and Nick are names worth remembering if you want to request or recognize the team, though exact staffing is not guaranteed.

I would book the basic session first if you are unsure about heights, physical effort, or how much you will enjoy bodyflying. If you already know you want more time in the air, check the package carefully and ask about an extra flight or higher flight option.

Skip it if you have a shoulder history or current health issue covered by the restrictions, or if your Munich schedule cannot spare the early arrival and two-hour window. For everyone else, $78.44 buys a clear introduction to a memorable skill, with enough instructor support to make the first attempt feel manageable rather than reckless.
