• The duration of the balloon flight is approximately one hour, depending on the weather conditions.

• Balloon flight cancellations are more frequent during the winter months (December to March).

• Please note that while delays may occur due to traffic or one-way systems, the shuttle buses cannot wait if you are not ready at the scheduled pick-up time at your hotel or accommodation address, as this could delay other passengers.

Cancellation Policy

You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the flight (flights depart around 5:00 AM, so the deadline is 5:00 AM the previous day).

Whether the balloons fly is decided by the civil aviation authority on the morning of the flight, for passenger safety, not by us.
