The company will be offered what it claims will be the world's lowest-priced weightlessness-inducing flights in 15 international locations. Swiss Space Systems' [zero-gravity flights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerial-flow-therapy) will comprise putting passengers on a [modified airliner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnifica-air) that performs a series of mid-air parabolas. At the top of each arc, passengers will experience 20-25 seconds of weightlessness. Each 90-minute flight will include 15 parabolas amounting to approximately 5-6 minutes of weightlessness. Each plane will be divided into three sections. $2,700 gets you into the 'Party Room,' which has capacity for 40 people. $6,800 gives you access to the Premium Zone, where you can play with liquids and balloons. Finally, $68,000 can enjoy a tailor-made VIP Room experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Science](https://www.trendhunter.com/science) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Zero-gravity Experiences:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating unique and affordable zero-gravity experiences for the average person. - **Affordable Weightlessness Flights:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionizing the cost of weightlessness-inducing flights to make them accessible to a wider audience. - **Modified Airliners for Weightlessness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing modified airliners that can simulate weightlessness experiences for passengers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Aerospace:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing new technologies and services that enhance the zero-gravity experience for customers. - **Tourism:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating unique travel experiences centered around weightlessness flights to attract adventure-seeking tourists. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating weightlessness flights into entertainment offerings to provide one-of-a-kind experiences for audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Exclusive Luxurious Spaceflight Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-space-perspective.md) - [Space Tourism Travels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-spacecraft.md) - [Zero-Gravity Hard Seltzer Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truly-zero-gravity-bar.md) - [Galactic Atmosphere Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacevip.md) - [Luxury Space-Themed Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-themed-timepiece.md) - [Space Exploration Hotel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uplift-aerospace.md) - [Zero-Gravity Recliners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stressless-adam.md) - [Haute Hotel-Branded Travel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-seasons-private-jet-experience.md) - [Premium Commercial Airlines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnifica-air.md)
