Zero G no gravity flight

**efq** · 26-09-2009, 11:17 PM

I was thinking of taking my girlfriend to NY just before christmas (December 1st - 17th probably) anyway I wanted to do something special for her.
I was looking online and there is this thing where you experience 0 gravity so you float. The company is called Zero G and they are in NY on the 5th of December...

Do you think it would be a good idea? She loves flying but she's never done anything like this.
The prices are about $4950 per person (Individual flight) so I need honest answers so I don't make a mistake.

Thanks.

[P.S] I had doubts about posting it on here but hopefully I can get sensible replies, otherwise I'll close the thread and discuss it elsewhere.

at $5000 for one person - no. there are a lot more special things you can do with £100, let alone $5000...

No but it's an experience of a life time? We'll only do this like once in our lives. But I understand where your coming from, but its partly my parents money not mine and they aren't too bothered.

how long have you been going out? (if you don' mind me asking). because if its in the months region, i wouldn't spend that much money and find cheaper alternatives. but if money isn't an issue, and you really love her then go for it i suppose...

If you're not paying for it then go for it. But it's hardly "once in a life time".

In fairness you only get Zero G for a few minutes and I'm sure in 15-20 years you'll be able to go into space, then you'll have Zero G for hours

Might be worth baring that in mind. It does sound quite a fun idea though, I'd personally rather go first class to the US but you might already be doing that lol.

Lol very true but it's probably more fun when your younger.

I ain't going to speak to my mates about it incase one of them spill the beans. My mum&dad&me are discussing it, they think it's a great idea and a lovely thing to do before christmas. They go "Hope she isn't expecting a christmas present around that price from us!", I had to laugh.

I will consider this a Christmas present but ofcourse I will still get her something.
