iFLY confirms a discount for educators on its own site, verified through a GOVX link at checkout, and a teacher-focused outlet puts the current rate at 20% off select weekday packages. iFLY doesn’t publish the percentage itself on the page a search actually lands on, so the number below carries its real source rather than being presented as iFLY’s own claim.
iFLY runs vertical wind tunnels that simulate free-fall skydiving indoors, no airplane or parachute involved. Flyers suit up, get a briefing from an instructor, and fly inside the tunnel in short, timed sessions, which is why it shows up on so many “we tried this” lists as a birthday or field-trip activity rather than a one-and-done tourist stop.
How To Get The iFLY Teacher Discount
iFLY’s own special offers page lists “exclusive discounts for military, first responders, educators, and government employees,” confirmed directly in the page’s own description. The path to the discount runs through GOVX: select a First Time Flyer package (2, 4, or 10 Flight), then use the GOVX verification link at checkout to confirm educator status. We Are Teachers, which covers this deal directly, states that “educators can save 20% on select weekday iFly packages by using the GOVX verification link when they checkout online.” Since GOVX’s own page didn’t load cleanly for a fresh check today, that 20% figure is reported by We Are Teachers rather than confirmed word for word on iFLY’s page, and the offer is limited to weekdays.
What The Weekday Limit Actually Means
The discount applies to First Time Flyer packages specifically, which is the entry-level session built for someone who has never flown before, not the multi-visit passes regular flyers buy. If a class or family already has experience, price the standard packages separately, since the discount may not carry over the same way.
Adventure activities built around instructor time and equipment turnover tend to price weekdays lower than weekends everywhere, and iFLY’s structure follows that same logic here rather than treating educators as a special exception to normal pricing.
Q&A
Q: Do I need to be a classroom teacher, or does this cover other school staff?
A: iFLY’s own page says “educators,” a broader term than classroom teacher, but GOVX’s verification step is the actual gate. Try the verification link with your school employment details rather than guessing from the label alone.
Q: Can I use this on a weekend visit?
A: The discount is described as valid on weekdays at participating locations, so a weekend flight likely won’t carry the same rate.
Q: Does the discount apply at every iFLY location?
A: The offer says “participating iFLY locations,” which means it’s worth confirming with your specific tunnel before planning a group visit around it.
Q: What if GOVX can’t verify me automatically?
A: GOVX generally allows uploading documentation when automatic verification doesn’t resolve, the same pattern most military and educator verification services use.
Q: Is there a cash back option in addition to the discount?
A: Nothing on iFLY’s own page mentions stacking cash back with this offer, so treat the GOVX discount as the full benefit rather than assuming an extra layer on top.
More Information:
iFLY’s inclusion of educators alongside military, first responders, and government employees on its own special offers page is the real, confirmed part of this discount. The 20% figure and the weekday restriction come from a teacher-focused source covering the deal directly rather than from iFLY’s own page, so worth a quick confirmation at the GOVX verification step before counting on the exact number.
