Flight Info

How does weather affect my balloon flight?

Ballooning is highly weather dependent. We fly year-round, but certain conditions like rain, fog, or strong winds may lead to cancellations for safety reasons.

When is the best time to fly?

Ballooning is highly weather dependent. We fly year-round, but certain conditions like rain, fog, or strong winds may lead to cancellations for safety reasons.

How will I be notified if my flight is cancelled due to weather?

Our pilots monitor weather conditions 3-4 days in advance. If the weather is unsuitable, we will notify you as soon as possible. You can then rebook for another day or receive a refund for full-price tickets as per our Terms & Conditions.

What should I wear for the flight?

Wear enclosed footwear like sneakers, and avoid sandals or high heels. Dress in layers with long trousers and darker clothing made from natural fibers. A cap or hat is recommended to protect from the burner’s heat.

Are there bathroom facilities?

Yes, bathrooms are available at the meeting point, but not during the flight itself. The entire experience lasts 2-3 hours.

Can older guests participate?

Absolutely! Guests over 80 are welcome. Please inform us in advance so we can accommodate any special needs.

What should I do to stay hydrated and energised?

Drink water before the flight and consider a light snack like a cereal bar to keep your blood sugar levels stable. Coffee can dehydrate you, so drink it sparingly.

Can I fly if I have health issues?

You must not have significant knee, hip, back, or neck problems, and no recent surgeries or broken bones. If you have any concerns, please inform us.

What if I suffer from hay fever?

During spring, grasses are in flower, so consider taking an antihistamine if you are prone to hay fever.

Can I bring a camera or phone?

Yes, cameras and phones are welcome for photography, but large camera bags are discouraged. Phones should be on silent mode.

What should I do with extra bags or items?

Minimise baggage on board. Extra items can be left with the crew on the bus.

What safety measures are in place?

Our pilots provide a comprehensive safety briefing. All guests must have clean shoes and equipment to minimize biosecurity risks. Smoking is not allowed due to the fuel carried on the balloon.
