Flight is the ability to propel one's self through the air. A full list of examples of the power in action follows.

Season One Examples

Peter has dreams in which he flies around New York. (Genesis, Nothing to Hide)
When Peter attempts to fly on his own, Nathan sees his fall and flies up to catch him. Still apparently a novice at the ability, he is unprepared for the extra weight and initially begins to fall out of control. Peter then mimics his power and helps stabilize them both. (Genesis, Don't Look Back)
On the second occasion that Peter mimics the flight ability, he is seen to literally "walk on air", levitating at a constant height without effort (shown by the fact that he doesn't even realize he is doing it until Nathan points it out). (Don't Look Back)
Nathan flies into a burning building to save a trapped woman. (Trial By Fire)
When threatened by The Haitian and Mr. Bennet, Nathan shows the strongest example yet of flight. As outlined above, this seems to show true supersonic flight, as a distinctive boom is heard, a suddenly condensed ring of humidity appears around him, and Nathan essentially disappears from view in an instant. (Hiros)
Nathan appears to instinctively fly (for what seems to be the first time) when his car is run off the road by Linderman's men. On this occasion, he exhibits no control over his powers, and cannot descend once he has flown above the car. (Six Months Ago)
Peter has a dream in which he is a superhero who can fly. (Super-Heroics)
When Mr. Bennet and the Haitian attempt to capture Peter and Claude, Peter throws Claude off the roof and dives after him to escape. Seconds later, Peter flies through the air holding Claude. (Unexpected)
In 2011, Sylar, while still under the guise of Nathan Petrelli flies away from the explosion memorial in order confront Peter Petrelli and prevent Hiro from escaping back to 2006. Like Nathan, he also breaks the sound barrier. (Five Years Gone)
Nathan flies into Kirby Plaza and then flies Peter into the atmosphere to prevent New York from being destroyed. (How to Stop an Exploding Man)

Season Two Examples

West flies over Costa Verde all night enjoying the smell and temperature of the atmosphere while thinking about his philosophy of aliens and robots. (Flying Blind)
West picks up Claire and the two fly over Costa Verde. (Kindred)

West drops from the sky, and, as part of a prank to scare Debbie, grabs Claire, and drops her on to some steps, where she regenerates. (The Line)
West flies away after finding out that the man who kidnapped him in the past was Claire's father. (Out of Time)
In an unaired scene from Out of Time, West uses his ability to change a light bulb at the Bennets' home.
Nathan flies Peter into to the sky before he explodes. Soon after, Peter tells Nathan to drop him, and he does. After Peter explodes, he flies to catch Nathan before he falls to his death. (Four Months Ago...)
West picks up Noah and carries him high into the sky for an interrogation. (Cautionary Tales)
West flies hard into Elle and tackles her viciously onto the roof of a car, knocking her out. (Cautionary Tales)
West flies himself and Claire away from the beach stand-off twice, getting zapped the first time but succeeds in escaping the next. (Cautionary Tales)
After West fails to convince Claire to not expose the Company, he flies away. (Powerless)
Nathan flies himself and Matt to Primatech Paper in Odessa, Texas, but has a rough landing. (Powerless)
West uses his newfound ability of flight in order to escape from Primatech Paper Company, but is stopped by the Haitian. (Special)
