Take a ZERO-G flightMiami, United States

Has your best friend/partner/sibling/parent ever turned to you and said ‘Gee, I wonder what it feels like to defy gravity’? Yes, it’s a pretty niche statement but everyone’s thought about it for a split second, especially after watching Interstellar.

Well, if you’re looking for Christmas gift ideas and don’t fancy hunting around Metropolis for Superman’s cape or buying a jetpack, Zero’G’s zero-gravity flight experience might be the way to go.

You get strapped into a plane, and while you don’t have a boarding pass or 7kg of luggage to stuff into an overhead compartment, you are about to embark on a wild ride through the skies – sans destination.

Before you know it, you’ll be weightless: flipping, somersaulting and floating through the air like you’re Mathew McConaughey and you’ve just realised gravity is only a suggestion.

But how can this happen!? Zero-G’s specially designed plane mimics the sensation of being in space by performing parabolic arcs (don’t ask us to explain that because we can’t). Each arc creates a few seconds of pure free-fall, where you can tumble through the cabin while attempting your best Neil Armstrong impression.

The best part? You don’t need any prior astronaut experience. The worst part? It costs a bomb. One seat on this plane is gonna set you back around US$10,000 – you could literally gift your loved one 20 cheap flights to Southeast Asia with that kinda cash.

But, if you’re in the mood to splash it, this is a pretty sick option.
