Just saw this thread and felt the need to add my two bits.

At first I also thought that they could actually fly. Not by themselves, obviously, but through their Stands. But as I rewatched the anime I realized that they don't actually  fly, but rather use their Stands to make great leaps. If you pay attention you notice that every time they change directions or move further away they are near either a wall, building or corner. This is possible thanks to the fact that while a Stand user can use their Stand to attack or push, they can also do the reverse and use their Stand to pull themselves.

This explains why DIO and Jotaro started floating during your third image, since Star Platinum and The World were clashing with such force that they generated a wind current that lifted them and, as such, their users as well, since they were keeping themselves close to each other in order for their Stands to reach their objective.

This may be just saying the same as GaoAndDrum, but I do it to show that while the manga may not implicitly show it, the anime does.
