Mechanics
Flying is one of the core mechanics of Aion. It becomes available after the completion of a quest at level 10, after which you are granted your wings and are able to take to the air.

There's 2 different ways of flying.

The first is a free flight available in most areas; you are only able to remain in the air for up to 1 minute. Despite how you can seeminly fly almost anywhere in the Abyss, all locations are limited by a maximum height. "Invisible walls" keep you inside the allowed flight area and "bump" you back when you go astray.

The second is by using a "waypoint." You designate where you want to fly, then are put on automatic flight until you reach your destination. You can only fly to locations you've been to before. Most locations you're able to use waypoints to are towns and areas of special interest.

Aerial combat is also possible. Due to the current time limitation of staying airborne, aerial conflicts are often short fights during a transition from one platform to another. Maximum flight time may be increased via various class skills.

NCSoft officials have emphasized that flight will play a critical role in combat. For instance, there are abilities which allow players to disengage other players' flight mode. And there are abilities such as Blessing of the God of Healing, which is a Cleric ability increases the player's flight speed by 20%.

Flying through the land of Atreia draws you Aether.


Control
According to a hands-on preview by bigdownload.com from GC08, flight may be engaged by pressing the Page Up button. After waiting three seconds you will become airborne. Using the R and F buttons, you can respectively rise and fall. When flying around, you use the standard WASD movement keys and direct yourself with the mouse while holding the right mouse button. The direction of flight is essentially dictated by the camera angle. Granted, that you haven't wasted timer in the mile high club, you can disengage flight with the Page Down button.
Special in-flight Skills
Currently, there are two types of flight-specific skills: one obtained as an Abyss-related quest reward in Verteron and Altgard at level 10, another acquired at level 25. There are no racial differences.
