The air from the Elemental Plane of Air is lighter than the one in the Prime, right? So, if it's even possible, why not import air from said plane and contain it in some powerful, magical vessel anchored into a piece of land (e.g. mountain) you want to float? |

I mentioned something like that on the first page. In Sandstorm they have blocks of crystallized air from the Elemental Chaos supporting the buildings in Upper Calimport. I'm sure that idea could be easily adapted to the Plane of Air for pre-Elemental Chaos times. As a side note, if I remember right, the blocks themselves are crystal clear so walking on them can be a little disorienting. |

I'm going from memory, but I think it was a 3e spell from a core D&D source. |

There are those anti-gravitational devices used in Aliens in the Attic. Archmages can invent artifacts, or even constructs that function similarly, with a wide range of effect. |
