Q: What should I wear?

A: Dress for the weather as you will be outdoors most of the time. The temperature in the balloon will be similar to the temperature on the ground. You should not wear open-toed shoes or heels, and you might want to consider wearing sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as there is radiant heat from the burners.

Q: How do we get back to our hotel or car?

A: Our chase vehicle will follow us throughout our flight. After we land and celebrate with champagne, we will return you to your point of pick up!

Q: Who can fly in a balloon?

A: Nearly Everyone! if a special health condition exists... call and we will try to accommodate.

Q: Why might your pilot choose not to fly?

A: We only fly if weather conditions are safe. Sunrise and 2 hours prior to Sunset. Generally, the wind must be within permissible parameters ( less than 10 mph) and the weather conditions must be good.

Please, Don't Drink and fly. If you are nervous, come watch a flight and talk with our Pilots.
