Well, there are two ways to fly: One is "fling", which is placing a portal
high in a wall and another in the floor, and then jumping into the floor
portal, emerging from the top portal, falling into the floor portal the
second time, and then being propelled fast from the upper portal.
And the other is, I don't know what it's called but that you put a portal
in a floor and another in a floor significantly lower than you, and then
drop into the lower portal and thus you emerge fast from the upper portal,
and during the jump curve you can possibly place a new portal somewhere
you couldn't before.
