Yes, some crickets can fly, but those that can do so only very rarely.

Additional InformationThe wings of male crickets function more in sound production than flight. Although the close relatives of crickets--grasshoppers and katydids--often fly as adults, it is unusual for adult crickets, even the winged species, to fly. They can and will fly on occasion, but it's rare and only for short distances of a few feet. They get around mostly by crawling or jumping.

The field cricket cannot fly. I studied crickets for years and the wings on males are used for attracting females and the wings on females have no purpose. Tree crickets, however, can fly.
