Spyro flying
Flight is one of Spyro's unique abilities in the Spyro series. Being a dragon, he is able to fly freely using his wings, but only in certain areas like Speedways.
Original Spyro series
In the original Spyro series, Spyro is only able to free fly in Speedways and certain special levels.
A Superfly powerup is available in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon, temporarily allowing Spyro to fly freely.
The Legend of Spyro series
The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning
After teaching Spyro the art of Fire, Ignitus taught Spyro how to fly. Spyro, afterwards, flew his way to Dante's Freezer in the level, First Flight and later flew through the eruption of Boyzitbig on Munitions Forge to get away from Cynder.
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon
Spyro and Cynder are able to fly at anytime, making Dawn of the Dragon the first Spyro game to have free-flight available throughout the game.
Skylanders series
In Skylanders, one of Spyro's upgrades is Flight. Upon acquiring this upgrade, Spyro can fly at any time and have his speed increased, but can only fly a little above the ground. Other Skylanders who have the Flight upgrade will have this ability as well:
- Sonic Boom

It is also mentioned in one of the Story Scrolls that Chompies can fly as well, but only if they drink enough fizzy juice.
