'''Funky's Flights''' is a travel service operated by [[Funky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]''.


With one airport in every area on [[Donkey Kong Island]], Funky's Flights is the only way for [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] to travel between areas of the island without beating a boss.
By dropping in at Funky's nearest hut, Funky will let the two [[Kong]]s ride around the island in his [[Jumbo Barrel]], free of charge. However, the Jumbo Barrel is unable to travel to any areas that the Kongs haven't yet visited, thus preventing players from skipping levels. Rather, Funky's Flights merely serves as a bridge between the accessed areas of the island.
Note that in the remakes of ''Donkey Kong Country'' for [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]], Funky instead runs [[Funky's Fishing]], a [[minigame]].
Funky reworked his business practice in time for ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', now offering flight service around [[Crocodile Isle]] in his new [[Funky Barrel]]. Funky's new service was dubbed [[Funky's Flights II]], but with one catch: Funky would charge Diddy and [[Dixie Kong]] two [[Banana Coin]]s for the first use of the Funky Barrel at every location, although any additional use would be free.
Funky's Flights also appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country (show)|Donkey Kong Country television series]]'', where, besides being a flight shop, it's also a food shop. In the episode [[Hunka Hunka Burnin' Bluster]], [[Funky Kong|Funky]] wants to transform Funky's Flights into a restaurant.
In ''DK Jungle Climber'', Funky runs his flight service once more. Here, DK and Diddy must collect a certain number of [[Oil Barrel]]s to be able to use the Funky Barrel and fly to another island. The instruction booklet for DK Jungle Climber refers to Funky's flight service as "Funky Flights", rather than "Funky's Flights". The reasons for this small name change are unknown.
==Appearances in Other Media==
In the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (show)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' animated series, Funky's Flights was located near the beach and docks of Kongo Bongo Island and had a complex system built into that could raise the entire hut into the air and suspend it there. On the show, Funky's Flights, as well as offering plane rides to people, made deliveries for Bluster's Barrel Works as well. The inside of Funky's Flights was also shown on occasion on the show and was filled with surfer memorabilia, as one would expect a place owned by Funky Kong to have, along with other objects like a couch, refrigerator and paintings.
==In-game Description==
'''Instruction Booklet''':
*"''Funky's Flights are the only way to fly! However, Funky's practices have changed, and he has different plans for you this time out.''"
