This article is for the English-language World of Warcraft game.

Step

Part 1 of 4: Eligibility to Fly

Step 1. Make sure your driving ability is at the Expert level

The driving ability can be obtained after level 20. If you don't have this ability, buy it.

Step 2. Keep playing until you reach level 60

At level 60, you can buy Expert driving abilities if you haven't bought them before.

Step 3. Find a flight instructor

Characters that can train you to fly can generally be found at:

Borean Tundra: Maigra Keenfeather can be found in Valiance Keep, and Wind Rider Sabamba can be found in Warsong Hold.
Dalaran: Hira Snowdawn can be found in Crystalsong Forest.
Elwynn Forest: Bralla Cloudwing and Dalene Stokx can be found in Stormwind City.
Hellfire Peninsula: Hargen Bronzewing lives in Honor Hold, and Wind Rider Jahubo lives in Thrallmar.

Step 4. Purchase the Expert Riding ability

Once your faction's reputation has reached Exalted, you can purchase this ability for 200 gold

Step 5. Purchase a flying vehicle from a flying instructor

This vehicle costs 50 gold. If you use Alliance, you can buy Gryphon. If using a Horde, visit Orgrimmar and buy a Windrider.

In Pandaria, you can only fly after reaching level 90. Most Pandaria flying vehicles require certain abilities, such as the Cloud Serpent ability

Part 2 of 4: Fly the Vehicle and Improve Its Abilities

Step 1. Use the ability to fly

Open the Spellbook and click the "Mounts" menu. The ability to fly can be found in this menu.

Step 2. Learn how to control a flying vehicle with a mouse

Press right click to direct the view. Move around by pressing left-click, or pressing the forward key on the keyboard.

Step 3. Control the flying vehicle using the keyboard

By doing this, you can fly a considerable distance and monitor the playing area better. Here's how to control a flying vehicle with the keyboard:

Press W to move forward.
Press S to rewind back.
Press A to turn left, and D to turn right.
Press Q to swipe left, and E to tilt right.
Press the SPACEBAR to go up, press again to go down.

Step 4. Keep playing until level 70 to unlock Artisan Riding

This ability can be purchased for 5000 gold. The speed of your flying vehicle will change to 280% faster than normal.

Step 5. Keep playing until level 80 to unlock Master Riding

This ability can be purchased for 5000 gold. The speed of the flying vehicle will change to 310% faster than normal.

Step 6. Learn the areas to visit and how to visit them

Once you reach level 60, you can learn how to fly. However, to fly in a certain area, you must meet the requirements. Generally, you will also need to purchase other abilities. Here are the things you need to know:

In order to fly in Kalimdor, Deepholm, and the Eastern Kingdoms, you must first reach level 60. After that, you have to visit a flying instructor and buy a Flight Master's License for 250 gold.
In order to fly in Northrend, you must reach level 68. After that, you need to visit a flying instructor and buy Cold Weather Flying for 500 gold.
In order to fly in Pandaria, you must reach level 90. After that, you can visit the flying instructor at the shrine of your chosen faction in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Master the Wisdom of the Four Winds for 2500 gold.
To fly in Outland, you must be level 225. You don't need to purchase a Flight Master's License.

Part 3 of 4: Flying while Playing Druid

Step 1. Learn the Journeyman and Apprentice Riding abilities

Unlike when flying using a flying vehicle, you don't need to master the Expert Riding ability to be able to use flying mode.

Step 2. Visit the instructor to learn the flight form (Flight Form)

This ability can be accessed after reaching level 60. This ability can be purchased for 3 gold.

Step 3. Understand that every move will send your Druid flying

If you don't want to fly, change into your real form or move to a sitting position.

Step 4. Increase your character's speed to 280% after reaching level 71

It can be purchased for 19 gold.

Step 5. Understand the limitations of flying forms

Although it has many benefits such as increasing movement speed and eliminating threat generation, flying mode also has some drawbacks. Below are things to consider before using flying mode:

Fly mode cannot be used when fighting.
Fly mode cannot be used indoors.
Fly mode cannot be used while in another form.
You can't fly to Northrend if you don't have Cold Weather Flying (at level 68) and Azeroth if you don't have a Flight Master's License (at level 60).
