Flights 2 Games & Hobbies - Albany, New York

This store was open late and the staff was SUPER helpful. We went in blind to buy a MTG deck for our 12 year old son whom loves to play. It was a Christmas present. They explained the different types of cards and were willing to talk to an older son via FaceTime to find the best deck fit. They must have spent 20 minutes with us which would have never happened at another store.They did not try to upsell us, and we are so grateful for their professionalism. I highly recommend this store for MTG cards.

Overall this seemed like a very cool hobby/game shop with a very active local community. I walked in and the place was buzzing with players engaging in what I think was a Magic: The Gathering tournament. I originally walked in to see if I could find some terrain for Warhammer 40k. They had a couple items but not what I was looking for. However, I was surprised by the amount of cool items they had in the back area like paperback science fiction novels, old comics and magazines, as well as collectibles and action figures. Will definitely visit again.

Funny and knowledgable Staff, unbeatable prices and selection on MTG singles, and a laid back atmosphere for slinging cardboard. If you’re a magic player looking for a good shopping experience and a place to jam, flights has got you more than covered.

Also +1 for adorable cat mascot.

Massive mtg selection. Good customer service, I bought a set booster box for a little above market but was able to trade some cards and make it worth the trip. Would recommend to check this store out in person almost blew my mind

Best MTG and Pokémon collection I've seen! My wife and I traveled about 2 hours to check the place out and we were not disappointed! Anytime we're in this area we now make a stop by to see what's in stock and pickup cards.

Excellent choices of older cards, booster packs, secret lair decks, and commander decks that most other game stores are out of. Best prices you'll find around with helpful and kind staff members!

Plus the shop cat is adorable and blesses all the pulls.

These guys are true community members and standup citizens. They helped me tremendously when I was in a pinch and went above and beyond to Assist me in a really tough situation. Inside the store, there's an amazing selection, a great atmosphere and an adorable cat! I'm so grateful for this shop ~ 100/10

I've been coming to Flights for several years now. They've got a really good selection of DnD, card games, and other gaming hobbies, but their customer service is atrocious. One employee in particular didn't respond when I asked about the store's stock of a particular item, and instead glared at me for about twenty seconds before pushing the item at me, rolling his eyes, and walking away to loudly joke about 'newbies' with his associate. Place has an awesome stock and makes shopping super convenient, but the kid behind the counter shouldn't be allowed to interact with customers. If you're not an expert in whatever it is you're shopping for, expect to be talked down to and brushed off.

_5/5 Stars: A Magical Experience at Flights of Fantasy!_

I recently visited Flights of Fantasy, a local magic card shop, and I was blown away by the exceptional customer service provided by Dave! As a fan of Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon cards, I was excited to explore the shop and see what they had to offer.

From the moment I walked in, Dave made me feel welcome and at ease. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and enthusiastic about the products, taking the time to answer all my questions and make recommendations. His passion for the hobby was infectious, and I found myself getting excited about new sets and releases.

The shop itself was well-organized and well-stocked, with a wide selection of Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon cards, as well as other gaming supplies. Dave was happy to help me find what I was looking for, and even offered to special order items that they didn't have in stock.

What really impressed me, however, was Dave's commitment to customer service. He took the time to chat with me about my interests and preferences, and made sure that I left the shop feeling satisfied and excited about my purchases. His dedication to providing an exceptional customer experience is truly commendable, and I would highly recommend Flights of Fantasy to anyone looking for a great magic card shop.

Thanks, Dave, for an amazing experience! I'll definitely be back to visit again soon.
