Children ages 8 and older are welcome to join a zero gravity flight.

‍

For children ages 8 to 13, each child must be accompanied by one guardian to ensure safety and comfort during the flight.

‍

For children ages 14 to 18, one guardian may accompany multiple minors, as long as they can adequately supervise them throughout the flight.

Guardians must be at least 18 years old and are responsible for the safety and behavior of their children during the flight.

We welcome all passengers aged 8 and up! Here’s a breakdown of our age policy:

‍

Ages 8-13: Each child must be accompanied by one guardian. This ensures safety and comfort during the flight.

‍

Ages 14 and above: One guardian can accompany multiple minors aged 14-18, provided that they can adequately supervise them throughout the flight.

No, regrettably live animals are not allowed onboard for a zero gravity flight.

The flight itself requires around 90 minutes, but the entire experience lasts approximately 4.5 to 5 hours total.

‍

Pre-flight time includes check-in, changing into flight suits, orientation, security screening, and boarding the aircraft. Post-flight time includes a Regravitation celebration, presenting your flight pin, and a champagne toast.

‍

Although times may vary from flight to flight, our typical flight has an 8:30/9am check-in and concludes around 2pm. Always reference the instructions provided by our Flight Operations team to confirm your specific flight’s schedule.

Despite the popularity of NASA’s original “Vomit Comet” plane, a majority of our guests never experience motion sickness. With over 20 years of experience conducting over 850+ flights, we know how to ensure that our guests have the most comfortable experience possible.

‍

On flight day we’ll provide you with optional non-drowsy Dramamine as well as an anti-nausea wearable. You’ll also be provided a flight-approved light breakfast, and detailed instructions from your Flight Coach about what causes motion sickness in zero gravity and how to avoid it.

Our specially modified B-727 aircraft, G-Force One aircraft achieves weightlessness by flying aerobatic maneuvers called parabolas.

‍

The process starts with the aircraft flying level with the horizon at an altitude of 24,000 feet. The pilots then gradually increase the angle of the aircraft to about 45° relative to the horizon until reaching an altitude of 32,000 feet. During this phase, passengers feel the pull of 1.8 Gs.

‍

Next, the plane pushes over the top of the parabolic arc and the zero gravity phase begins. For the next ~30 seconds, everything in the plane is weightless.

‍

Finally, the plane gently pulls out of the maneuver, allowing flyers to gradually return to the floor of the aircraft.

‍

The maneuver is flown 15 times over the course of the flight.

Each parabola offers roughly ~30 seconds of zero gravity. Flying 15 parabolas over the course of the flight means you will experience around ~7.5 minutes of zero gravity.

Yes, zero gravity flights are perfectly safe. Not only are we held to the exact same Part 121 safety standards as passenger airlines like Delta, Southwest, and others, but we spent over 11 years receiving FAA approval before ever conducting our first public flight.

‍

Now more than 20 years, 850+ flights, and 22,000+ guests later, we still maintain a spotless safety record.
