How to Travel Distance While Airborne Without a Glider or Skydiving in Fortnite

Before diving into the different methods, it’s important to clarify what it means to be "airborne without a glider or skydiving." It's pretty straightforward—after jumping from the bus, you’re skydiving until you open your glider. For this quest, you specifically need to avoid these two states. Here’s how you can rack up the airborne distance to meet the 1,000-meter requirement.

1. Jumping

Yep, simply jumping gets you airborne! If you sprint and jump, you’ll make small progress toward your goal, but only a few meters at a time. This method works but will take quite a while to hit the 1,000-meter mark.

2. Jumping with a Vehicle

This method involves using a vehicle to jump off higher ground, like hills. Get some momentum, drive off, and hit the boost button while airborne. Each jump can cover 20-40 meters, allowing you to hit the 1,000 meters in just a few minutes.

3. Using War Machine's Jetpack

Another great option is to use War Machine’s Jetpack. This method fits the quest’s requirements perfectly—you won’t be using a glider or skydiving. While it takes some time to travel the full 1,000 meters, it’s faster than jumping alone.

4. Using Iron Man's Flight Kit

Finally, the best method is Iron Man’s Flight Kit. With this, you can travel 1,000 meters in seconds! Like the jetpack, it meets the quest’s criteria. If you’re unsure where to find the Flight Kit, it’s available in the Stark Industries Chests, located in several new land areas. We’ve included a map image below to help you find them.
