We begin a study of invariant isometric immersions into Riemannian manifolds (M, g) equipped with a Riemannian flow generated by a unit Killing vector field ξ. We focus our attention on those (M, g) where ξ is complete and such that the reflections with respect to the flow lines are global isometries (that is, (M, g) is a Killing-transversally symmetric space) and on the subclass of normal flow space forms. General results are derived and several examples are provided.
