I think their abilities are somewhat akin to Superman's original power, like how the original Superman couldn't fly at all, but could just jump really high (Like "leaping over skyscrapers in a single bound"). And like Sephirothalpha stated: If Cloud could fly (at least with his abilities alone) then he wouldn't have needed the others to toss him up to Bahamut. Though sometimes the characters have a tendency to fall slowly. The only part in which Cloud really flew around was when he used his limit break at the end.
There were a few characters that could fly, though, like Sephiroth and Loz. For example: When Loz uses his speed ability to zip around the air during the motorcycle fight in the tunnel.

As others have said, Final Fantasy games don't always have realistic physics. Someone brought up Omnislash, Climhazzard and Meteorain, in which Cloud's physics seemed similar to Advent Children. Sephiroth could fly in the game too. In FFX one could stay underwater for as long as one wanted without dying. In all of them there is this magical inventory that can hold a lot more items than one can carry realistically. Not to mention Cloud's hair stays spiked the way it is without any hair products ever being applied to it.
And even if the game didn't have those things, the game also had turn-based battles. Why nit-pick one part of the battle system and not another? If they kept the same style of battle as the game everyone would have stood around and waited for their turn to attack,and I doubt that would have made a very good movie.

Flying?
What if the flying is really just a massive release of chi energy. It would explain why Sephiroth can fly at will (he's of Cetra descent + Mako infused) and Cloud couldn't fly up to Bahamut, but once he used a limit his energy soared thus defying gravity.

I don't think it was more like flying otherwise Cloud won't need help getting to Bahamut, I think it was more like Jumping and the other characters gave Cloud a thrust power

Maybe maybe not?
Lord Sephiroth is not of Cetra descent he is the son of Jenova which is a totally different alien viral organism. It is possible that the massive concentration of Mako is what gives him the ability to fly or it could be his Jenova inherited abilities.
The only two others that can truly fly are Genesis and Angeal and both have massive amounts of Mako and Jenova cells inside of them though not such a high or pure concentration as Lord Sephiroth does.
