Palworld Flying Mounts are a must-have, and the best flying mounts include legendary Pals like Jetragon and Frostallion. That being said, they're very much an endgame kinda goal in Palworld, and until that point you'll have to focus on flying mounts that are a touch more ordinary. Don't worry though - a flying Pal that you can ride is relatively easy to get, and a complete game changer once you do. I'll lay out how to get them below, as well as all the best flying mounts in Palworld!
How to get a Flying Mount in Palworld
You can get a flying mount in Palworld by taking these steps:
- Catch any of the flying Pals that Palworld permits to be rideable mounts (see below)
- This should unlock a Saddle for that specific Pal in the Technology Tree.
- Unlock the Saddle with Technology Points (assuming you're the right level), then build it at the Pal Gear Workbench.
- This should add the Saddle to your Key Items.
- Put the Pal/Mount with the Saddle into your Party.
- Summon the Pal and hold the Special Ability button to ride it!
By far the easiest Pal to catch that can fly is Nitewing - these large birds appear in the starting area and are around level 10, with its particular Saddle comparatively early on the tech tree at level 15. There are plenty of other Pals that can fly, but if you want to take off ASAP, Nitewing is the most efficient way to do that.
The big issue with Flying on a Mount in Palworld is that it uses up Stamina, so you can't fly indefinitely without having to take the occasional break. You can still ride it around on the ground without using up Stamina, so you're not forced to dismount, but you just need to land every now and then - not to mention that you can't deploy other Pals when you're using one as a mount, flying or not.
All Flying Mounts in Palworld
So far, all the discovered mounts that can fly in Palworld are as follows.
- Nitewing
- Astegon
- Beakon

- Faleris
- Frostallion
- Helzephyr
- Jetragon
- Quivern
- Ragnahawk
- Shadowbeak
- Suzaku
- Suzaku Aqua
- Vanwyrm
- Vanwyrm Cryst
Keep in mind that their saddles only show up in the tech tree as potential research options after you have caught them - so if you want to use the Palworld Faleris as a mount, you need to catch or breed it first, which unlocks the saddle in the tech tree. Then you use points to unlock that, which allows you to craft the saddle at the Pal Equipment bench, and then once that's crafted, you'll be able to fly.
Most flying mounts tend to be bosses in-game, marked on your map when you get close to them, but keep in mind that there's some that can be obtained through a clever application of the Palworld Breeding system - check the attached page for all the breeding combos.
