THE BASICS OF FLYING AT FÖÖNI

Flying at Fööni is suitable for anyone who is adventurous and over 5 years of age. There’s no upper age limit for our tunnel, but there’s a few things you should know before you fly! On this page, you’ll find instructions for first-time flyers on how to prepare as well as answers to frequently asked questions. 

FAQ

Like an airport, Fööni is a place that you should get to in good time before your flight! Before your actual flight time, you will fill out a liability waiver form, meet your instructor and receive complete flight training if you’re a first-time flyer.

During the training, you’ll learn what you need to do in the wind tunnel and how to interpret your instructor’s hand signals. The pre-flight training also gives you the chance to ask any questions you might have. 

You’ll also be provided with flying equipment, including a flight suit, helmet and bandana, as well as a pair of loan shoes if your own shoes aren’t right for flight. (See “How should I dress for my flight?”).

You can wear your normal casual clothes or sportswear under the flight suit. You can wear trainers or tennis shoes with laces as long as they don’t have any metal parts. We have a few pairs of loan shoes in case your shoes can’t be worn in the wind tunnel. Before entering the tunnel, take off any jewellery, watches and other items that could come loose. Also empty the pockets of the clothes you wear under the flight suit. If you have long hair, you should wear it up in a tight braid. We recommend using contact lenses, but you can fit glasses under the helmet as well.

You can redeem your gift voucher on our webshop at I have a gift voucher. Enter the code of your gift voucher and your own information - at the same time, you may also want to create username and password so that you can view your own information later.

Mikäli et ehdi käyttää lentolippuasi sen voimassaolon puitteissa, voit ostaa sille kahden kuukauden jatkoajan hintaan 9,90€. Jatkoajan osto tapahtuu via your own Fööni account or from fööni.fi/lahjakortti. You can also give your voucher to somebody else if it's not paid with a personal sports benefit. 

Flight minutes refer to the time spent by the flyer inside the wind tunnel. Flying is surprisingly physical, so in the beginning people usually spend about one minute at a time in the tunnel. 

Our packages usually include 2–5 minutes of flight time per flyer. The recommended total flight time for a first-time flyer is 2–5 minutes. 

First-time flyers are always accompanied by a trained instructor in the tunnel. You can have your child or friend join the same session with you and share the experience, but you will fly in the tunnel one at a time with the instructor. If you are already our pro flyer, you can join our pro flyer events where people can fly in the tunnel at the same time with other pro flyers.

You can find your videos with your voucher code from our video server. Please notice, that the videos are available for two weeks after your flight - so please collect them soon!

It's great that you got excited about flying! You'll get a discount from your next flight with us!
