In Dragon Quest VII, it's given to The Party in La Bravoure after the Mermaid Moon is obtained.

Capabilities

The Flying Carpet is able to fly over land, swamps, deserts, and bodies of water. No random enemy encounters occur while riding the magic carpet. Since it can fly over the rocky shoals, the carpet is necessary to reach both the Stairway to Zenithia and the Neverglade.

Limitations

The Flying Carpet is not able to traverse mountains or forests on the world map. This can be cumbersome around forested areas.
