Fortnite fans are all too familiar with weekly challenges. Every Tuesday, new quests come out that give every player the chance to rack up XP towards the battle pass. Some quests are straightforward, but a Fortnite quest asking players to travel distance while airborne without a glider or skydiving is less so.
Since travelling airborne in Fortnite is mostly done through the use of a glider or while skydiving, this particular quest may have you scratching your head. However, as soon as you know how to tackle the challenge, you’re sure to complete it in your next match.

How to travel distance while airborne in Fortnite
The best way to achieve airtime without a glider or jumping out of the battle bus is to secure yourself a vehicle and use it to drive off mountains. Vehicles can be found all over the Chapter 5 Season 4 map, predominantly at gas stations. Landing at a gas station is your best bet to guarantee yourself a vehicle and there’s usually some weapons dotted around these areas.
There are various ways you can be airborne while in a vehicle. There are plenty of mountains and cliffs to drive off which will see you progress towards the challenge. In addition, driving through Flaming Boost Hoops can propel you far into the sky.
Alternatively, you can loot Avengers Chests in the hopes of finding War Machine’s Arsenal Hover Jets and take to the skies with a jetpack on your back.
A total of 1,000 meters must be covered in the air, so you’ll have to spend a significant amount of time launching yourself above ground. Once you’ve done so, 20,000 XP will be awarded and the quest will be ticked off your Week 7 list.
The remaining Week 7 quests are as follows:
- Drive in different named locations in a single match (3) – 20,000 XP
- Search containers (25) – 20,000 XP
- Damage players beyond 40 meters (200) – 20,000 XP
- Collect Legendary or Mythic items from eliminated opponents (3) – 20,000 XP
The next set of quests will go live on October 8, 2024.
