At the same time our Bard casted a Haste on me. Does my fly speed increases as stated under Haste spell, or this kind of magical flight can't be hasted? For me it's logical that it can, since it is written so in the description of both spells and is not stated anywhere that such a thing can't be done. But some of the players, as well as DM, think it doesn't work like that. They argument is that the Fly spell actualy doesn't give you flight as mode of movement (as Spider climb does with altering your feet and hands) but just gives you ability to magicaly fly at the rate described ina Fly spell description. Furthermore, they argument that when you have flight as mode of movement, you are able to 'run' while Fly spell doesn't enable you that. Thank you for your help! A

This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature’s jumping distance as normal for increased speed. The only reason this wouldn't apply is if fly specifically said so. Lets look. Fly The subject can fly at a speed of 60 feet (or 40 feet if it wears medium or heavy armor, or if it carries a medium or heavy load). It can ascend at half speed and descend at double speed, and its maneuverability is good. Using a fly spell requires only as much concentration as walking, so the subject can attack or cast spells normally. The subject of a fly spell can charge but not run, and it cannot carry aloft more weight than its maximum load, plus any armor it wears.   Should the spell duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the magic fails slowly. The subject floats downward 60 feet per round for 1d6 rounds. If it reaches the ground in that amount of time, it lands safely. If not, it falls the rest of the distance, taking 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet of fall. Since dispelling a spell effectively ends it, the subject also descends in this way if the fly spell is dispelled, but not if it is negated by an antimagic field. Nope, you are good. It applies.
