Before You Fly
Frequently Asked Questions
What people usually want to know
When do balloons fly?
Balloon flights are generally planned for the calmer wind conditions found near sunrise or later in the day near sunset.
How long is the flight?
Flight duration varies with weather, available landing areas, and wind conditions. The entire experience includes preparation, flight, landing, recovery, and return travel.
Where will we land?
A balloon travels with the wind, so the exact landing place cannot be selected in advance. The pilot evaluates safe landing options throughout the flight.
What should I wear?
Dress for the outdoor temperature and wear comfortable, practical shoes suitable for fields and uneven ground.
Can weather cancel a flight?
Yes. Safe ballooning depends on suitable winds, visibility, weather, and landing conditions. A flight may be delayed or postponed when conditions are not appropriate.
