Terms & Conditions

Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our Terms & Conditions.

Please do not proceed with any purchase or voucher redemption until you have read, understood and accepted these terms and conditions.

General

iFLY Indoor Skydiving Ltd is the supplier of all experiences that appear on www.iflyworld.co.uk and operates locations at Manchester, Milton Keynes and Basingstoke.

When you purchase an experience or redeem a voucher from iFLY Indoor Skydiving Ltd (or book/redeem a voucher provided by an external provider), it is valid only at the locations stated above. You are also bound by the terms and conditions detailed.

Safety

All participants of an iFLY experience are required to report to Reception before flying, no later than the report time given on their booking confirmation details.

Before flying, a ‘Declaration of Risk’ must be completed and all participants must undergo a safety briefing.

You may fly if you: weigh less than 18 stone /114kg (contact us if you weigh more than this) / are 4 years of age or above (you must be able to comfortably wear one of our helmets) / are not pregnant / have not previously dislocated your shoulder / are not under the influence of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs / are not wearing a hard cast.

Flyers under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (over 18 years of age) on the day of flight, who will be required to authorise participation by way of signature.

Find out more about ‘who can fly’.

All experiences require the wearing of safety equipment, this is mandatory and there are no exceptions.

iFLY employ professional instructors, licensed by the International Bodyflight Association. They reserve the right to end an experience if they believe the participant may endanger themselves or other members of the public.

iFLY is fully inclusive and welcomes disabled flyers. If any member of your group has specific requirements it is vital that we receive advance notice, before the day of your flights.

Please contact us in advance if you have any questions or concerns about safety or the eligibility of participants.

Packages & Prices

The prices displayed on www.iflyworld.co.uk are correct to the best of our knowledge and are maintained on a daily basis.

All prices and packages, promotional or otherwise, may be removed or changed by iFLY at any time.

The packages displayed on www.iflyworld.co.uk, unless otherwise stated, are for 1 person. E.G: Selecting 1 x Air-Born experience entitles a maximum of 1 person to enjoy the 4 flights featured as part of that experience. These packages are also valid only at iFLY Manchester, Milton Keynes and Basingstoke.

iFLY commits to a price guarantee, meaning that if you see a cheaper price for our experiences anywhere else, we’ll match it.

Flight Duration

The number of flights experienced will depend on the flight package purchased, but please be aware that each flight is typically about 60 seconds in length, often a bit longer, but never shorter than 50 seconds.

Some of our more extensive flight experiences may involve 'double flights' - which are approximately 120 seconds in length.

The freefall duration of a skydive from 12,000 feet (leaping from an aircraft) is around 40-45 seconds, so iFLY flight experiences represent a minimum of double the freefall time of a real skydive.

Kidz Club, Camp and Adventure Camps

Kidz Club runs regularly throughout the year at each of our locations. Kidz Club is solely for those flyers of 16 years of age (or younger) who have flown at iFLY within the last three months (ie: within three months prior to the chosen Kidz Club date). Any first time flyers selecting this experience incorrectly will, unfortunately, be unable to participate and no refund issued.

Kidz Camp typically runs during school holiday periods at each of our locations. Kidz Camp is for children of 16 years of age (or younger), but no previous flight experience is necessary (ie: unlike Kidz Club, first time flyers are welcome to participate).

Kidz Adventure Camps are held exclusively at iFLY Basingstoke during school holiday periods. Kidz Adventure Camps are for children between 8 and 16 years of age. No previous experience on any of the activities offered at iFLY Basingstoke is necessary.

If you are unsure about eligibility on any of experiences, please call us on 0845 331 6549.

Merchandise, Photos & Video downloads

iFLY may offer a number of optional extras on the day of your experience, such as our clothing range, merchandise, photographs and video downloads. You can access your photos and videos online for a limited time only.

Please note that although we will always do our very best, we can't guarantee the perfect photo of each and every flyer owing to the movement involved in indoor skydiving. As with all photography, if the subject's movements are particularly erratic for example, it can be challenging to obtain a great photo each and every time.

Although extremely rare, our photography and video systems (as with all technology) are subject to unforeseen technical faults. Where there is an issue with our equipment that prevents us from producing such media, we will endeavour to notify customers immediately. Where such media has been pre-paid as an 'added extra', any credit will be limited to the specific value paid toward the video download/photo and not towards flight time.

Other on the day 'Extras'

iFLY may also be in a position to offer 'Repeat Flights' or the 'Hi-Fly' experience (on the day only). These are strictly subject to availability and are not guaranteed. Please be aware that any such extras are not a 'standard' part of any experience, are offered at additional cost, and that the Hi-FLY takes place within the flyer's allotted time.

If you have any questions on Repeat Flights or the Hi-Fly experience, we urge you to make contact with us on 0845 331 6549 in advance of your flights.

Booking Confirmations

Standard iFLY booking confirmations & voucher redemptions (for a fixed time, date & location) are delivered by email in the form of an e-ticket to the e-mail address submitted by the person making the booking.

Be aware that some e-mail accounts may categorise our confirmations as unwanted or 'spam' e-mail.

iFLY is not liable or responsible for any loss suffered as a result of an e-mail being blocked by web filters or firewalls.

It is entirely the responsibility of the person making the booking to ensure that they (and all flyers in their group) have read and understood the booking confirmation and e-ticket prior to arrival. iFLY cannot be held responsible for those arriving incorrectly prepared for their flight experience.

Voucher Purchases

(a) Delivery

Standard iFLY voucher purchases are delivered by email in the form of an e-voucher to the email address submitted by the purchaser.

Be aware that some email accounts may categorise our email confirmations as unwanted or 'spam' email.

iFLY is not liable or responsible for any loss suffered as a result of an e-mail being blocked by web filters or firewalls.

iFLY may also offer hard-copy, physical vouchers on-site or at certain events.

(b) Voucher redemption

All vouchers must be booked in online at www.iflyworld.co.uk or via our customer service team on 0845 331 6549. Calls cost 5p per minute plus your standard access charge.

Vouchers may be redeemed only at iFLY Manchester, Milton Keynes and Basingstoke.

Please do not arrive at a venue expecting to fly without first redeeming your voucher successfully. Voucher redemptions are not finalised until you have received an e-mail confirmation from iFLY, with an accompanying e-ticket.

Please also see ‘Booking Confirmations’ above for further detail.

Vouchers may also be exchanged for alternative goods or services supplied by iFLY MK Ltd (including adults and children's merchandise) at any time during their validity, up to and equal to the value of the purchase - see also (e).

(c) Validity

Vouchers are issued with a clearly specified expiry date and all goods or services must be claimed/taken on or before that date. If your goods or services are not claimed/taken within this time you will lose the right to participate.

Vouchers may be redeemed only at iFLY Manchester, Milton Keynes and Basingstoke.

It is not possible to make your booking before the expiry date and to fly after the expiry date. This applies regardless of whether your voucher was purchased from iFLY directly, via a Gift Voucher Company or via one of our Gift Experience Partners.

You must bring your voucher(s) to fly at iFLY with you on the day, without them you will be unable to fly without further payment.

iFLY does not offer voucher extensions and reserves the right to refuse participants who arrive without a valid, hard copy voucher - see also (f)

Vouchers may also be exchanged for alternative goods or services supplied by iFLY MK Ltd (including adults and children's merchandise) at any time during their validity, up to and equal to the value of the purchase - see also (e).

(d) Transfer

All vouchers are transferable to third parties and are valid as per the ‘voucher policy’ detailed herein.

(e) Exchanges

Exchanges only apply to non-redeemed vouchers that have been purchased directly from iFLY. iFLY does not exchange vouchers that have been booked into the diary, nor those that are outside of their validity period. Exchanges do not apply to any flight experience that has been booked into the diary. 

Valid iFLY vouchers may be exchanged for alternative goods or services supplied by iFLY (including adults and children's merchandise) at any time during their validity, up to and equal to the value of the purchase. 

Where a voucher is exchanged for a new voucher, it will carry the same expiry date as the original voucher. 

Example: A Kick-Start voucher purchased for £54.99 carrying an expiry date of 30th September 2020, can be exchanged for an alternative flight experience(s), media, adults and/or children's merchandise (or any other goods / services supplied by iFLY) up to the value of £54.99. If the exchange is for another voucher or specific flight experience booking, flights must be flown before the original voucher expiry date of 30th September 2020. Where the exchange is of greater value than that of the original voucher purchase, a supplementary payment (of the difference) is required. 

(f) Bring vouchers on the day

If you have made your booking via a voucher redemption, you must bring an original hard-copy of the voucher itself for the corresponding value of the experience booked, on the day of your flights. If you have been issued an e-voucher (by iFLY directly, a Gift Voucher Company or by one of our Gift Experience Partners), you must print it and bring it with you on the day (black and white is fine). Showing an email or image of a voucher on a mobile device is not valid.

Failure to produce a valid voucher on the day of your experience means that full payment will be required to cover the cost of the experience. This payment will be refunded on receipt of a valid voucher in the post alongside a completed ‘refund request form’ within 28 days of your experience date. The refunded payment will be less a 5% administration fee.

(g) Loss

iFLY is unable to take responsibility if you lose or misplace your voucher, if it is stolen, or for any loss you may incur as a result of impersonation or identity fraud.

(h) Recipients of Vouchers

Purchasers of vouchers acknowledge that intended recipients should meet the criteria to fly:

Voucher recipients may fly if they: weigh less than 18 stone /114kg (contact us if the intended recipient weighs more than this) / are 4 years of age or above (the intended recipient must be able to comfortably wear one of our helmets) / are not pregnant / do not have a history of shoulder dislocations / are not under the influence of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs / are not wearing a hard cast / have signed permission from a parent or guardian if under 18 years of age / have signed our Declaration of Risk.

If a voucher recipient does not meet the criteria listed, iFLY is unable to take responsibility. Where this is the case, see (d) Transfers and (e) Exchanges above. Alternatively, see the ‘Refund policy’ section on this page.

(i) Cash Vouchers

Monetary cash vouchers can also be purchased from iFLY. Cash vouchers carry a value, which you can apply to any purchase with iFLY Manchester, Milton Keynes or Basingstoke. 

You MUST USE the full value of the voucher in one transaction before the expiry date shown on the voucher. The value of any cash voucher cannot be extended.

When you have successfully used a cash voucher, you will receive an email confirming your purchase from iFLY.

(j) Love2shop customers

We accept Love2shop vouchers as full or part payment towards flight experiences.

• Original, valid, hard copy vouchers (complete with stub attached) must be submitted on the day of your flights
• Where original, valid, hard copy vouchers are not submitted, or where stub is detached or separated (for any reason), full payment will be required before flights may be taken
• Flights must be booked and flown before the expiry date shown on your Love2shop Vouchers
• Where vouchers are used to part-pay, the outstanding balance must be paid in full to secure the booking. You may use standard debit or credit cards, as well as a Love2shop Online Card to pay any remaining balance
• Where the value of Love2shop Vouchers exceeds the cost of flight experiences selected, no change will be given

You can also pay for your flight experiences using a Love2shop Online Card. Please note, Love2shop Online Cards may only be used to pay for flight experiences (or any balance on a flight experience) in full. Part payment is not facilitated.

We do NOT currently accept Love2shop Flexecash cards/vouchers.

Please contact us in advance if you have any questions about making a booking with Love2shop vouchers or Online Card.

Availability

 iFLY Manchester, Milton Keynes and Basingstoke are typically open all day, 7 days a week, closing only on Christmas Day. 

Purchases and bookings made via www.iflyworld.co.uk and those of our approved Gift Experience Partners are valid for iFLY Manchester, Milton Keynes and Basingstoke only.

Bookings should be made as far in advance as possible especially during our busiest times, such as weekends and school/bank holidays.

You should not make any travel or accommodation arrangements in connection with your iFLY experience until you have received your booking confirmation via e-mail - with a specified time, date and location.

Duration and Time

The booked flight time of your experience is a guide time only. We are unable to guarantee that you will commence your flights at the exact flight time detailed on your booking confirmation. However we endeavour to stick to these times rigidly.

For the avoidance of any doubt, please simply ensure you arrive no later than the report time given on your confirmation details. A standard experience with iFLY lasts approximately 1 hour and we advise allowing at least 1.5 hours on-site. This is a guide only.

If you are visiting iFLY as part of a group of more than 10, the time on-site may vary from the details provided above.

Please contact us in advance if you have any questions or concerns about the length of your experience and time on site.

Late Arrivals & No-shows

Please don't miss your flight. All our flights are manifested and we are not able to accommodate nor refund late arrivals and no-shows under any circumstances.

Standard bookings are made with a fixed flight date and report time – all of which will be clearly communicated to you upon booking and via a confirmation e-mail with accompanying e-ticket.

We urge you to treat a trip to iFLY as you would catching a flight or a train. If you are late we are unable to reschedule your flights. If you do not turn up for your booking we are unable to reschedule your flights. This is because we run a manifest that is designed to accommodate a mixture of pre-booked, walk-up, repeat and skydiver bookings. We also do not offer refunds for late arrivals and no-shows under any circumstances.

We know this may lead to disappointment which is why we urge you to arrive in plenty of time. Whether you are flying in Basingstoke, Manchester or Milton Keynes, there is plenty to do ahead of flying. Arrive at iFLY early and use the local facilities to relax before flying.

At all iFLY locations, you can enjoy a tea or a coffee in any one of a number of coffee shops, cafes and restaurants, all on our doorstep. We promise you won’t be bored so an early arrival is strongly advised.

PLEASE do not forget that the traffic can be really heavy at busy shopping times, allow plenty of time especially when using motorways and for parking.
