Say Goodbye To Summer Holidays In Style – By Floating On Air At Airkix!

Aug. 21, 2008 - PRLog -- You’ve exhausted all possible avenues – zoos, museums, movies, parks – and yet there’s still another week or so until the kids go back to school.  Fear not, as Airkix has the perfect solution for something to do to keep the family entertained and even break the hold of the addictive PS2, Wii or TV!

Indoor skydiving will get your little tearaways out of the house and up in the air. It’s an exciting new adrenalin sport which will make your kids grin from ear to ear as well as giving them tons to boast about with their friends. Or take a group of them on an outing and get all the scallywags airborne. Be the most popular parent this summer and give your family the thrill of bodyflying at the Airkix wind tunnel, the UK’s first indoor skydiving centre in Milton Keynes.  Go to www.airkix.com or contact 0845 331 6549 to book a flight.  

It’s not just for adrenalin junkies either; anyone can have a go at freefalling in this vertical wind chamber, based at the Xscape Centre.  From first time thrill seekers to the more experienced skydivers, Airkix is for everyone.  Adventurer Bear Grylls, World famous runner Linford Christie, supermodel Elle McPherson and the cast of HollyOaks have all got their Airkix wings. As long as children are over the age of four they too can have their go at flying in the windtunnel, where four giant fans generate windspeeds of up to 150 mph.  

The advantage of bodyflying at Airkix is that it combines the heart pumping elements of an extreme sport but in a controlled and protected environment – so mums can rest assured that their kids will be having fun yet are still in safe hands. Unlike other extreme sports Airkix doesn’t require any previous experience, sporting ability or particular strength and people can be flying within seconds of entering the flight chamber.

All flyers visiting Airkix receive all necessary training in a fun-filled briefing session from highly qualified instructors. Kids will be in very safe hands with the ‘Aircrew’ who have received rigorous training at the International Bodyflight Association in USA.  Flyers are taken on a step by step programme, explaining how the wind tunnel works and how to get the most out of their flight.  All flyers are provided with the latest equipment including flying suits, goggles and helmets.
The Airkix experience starts at just £34.99 for the Kix-start package which lasts an hour and a half and includes two one minute flights. (The equivalent of three skydives all at once!).  Or book the excellent value Family Flight package from £151.99 which includes flights for up to five family members of all ages and include a free DVD for the family to take home.
