GFORCE Flying Status

We recommend wearing comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing. Closed-toe shoes are essential for safety and sunglasses and sunscreen are also a good idea. You can bring small personal items such as phones or handbags on your flight. Your pilot will secure these in their harness and return them to you after landing.

Yes, flights are subject to weather conditions. Safety is our top priority, so we will cancel if necessary. If the weather isn’t suitable, our office team will contact you to reschedule your flight (subject to availability) or provide a full refund.

Flight durations vary, typically ranging from 7-10 minutes. Your pilot will ensure you enjoy the experience and consult with you about whether you’d like some extra turns and thrills. You’ll have plenty of time to take in the breathtaking views!

Due to strict regulations, passengers are not able to use their own camera equipment during the flight. Our pilots carry a specialised camera setup to capture your experience. After your flight, you’ll have the option to purchase the photo and video package directly from your pilot for $80 NZD.

Our landing sites are both located in central Queenstown, just a short walk from the Skyline Gondola. The exact landing spot may vary depending on the day, so please check with our office team when you arrive.

Your gondola pass is not included. Passes can be purchased directly from the Skyline terminal building on the day of your flight. Please check our flight status before purchasing your Skyline Gondola ticket.

No, you don’t need to buy an extra ticket. We will give you a stamp so you can come back up the gondola after your flight. Just show Skyline staff your original gondola ticket along with the stamp our office team will provide at check-in.

In the summer months, we may also use Coronet Peak as an alternative flying location if weather conditions prevent us from operating at the Skyline Gondola. On these days, our office team will contact you with all the details. If you would prefer not to fly at Coronet Peak, you are welcome to receive a full refund instead.

Our weight restrictions are Minimum 20kg, maximum 100kg. Weight restrictions can be dependent on client fitness and weather conditions. We do not have any age restrictions.
