FAQ
What should I wear?
Dress like you were going on a hike. Please, no open-toed shoes. If flying in the fall and winter months, dress in layers. Keep in mind, the burner over your head provides a great deal of heat.
Are there any restrictions as to whom can fly?
Due to insurance restrictions, we cannot fly pregnant women or children under 6 years of age. If you have recently had any medical procedures or surgeries, please give us a call to discuss the potential impact on flying.
All passengers should be able to stand for at least an hour and a half on your own and be able to climb into and out of our basket with 45-inch tall sides. Due to the size of our balloon system, we cannot accommodate parties with a combined weight of more than 900 lbs.
What if the weather is bad? What if I need to cancel?
Ballooning is always weather dependent. If we need to postpone a flight it will only be for your safety. In case we have to cancel because of the weather, we recommend that you have a backup date in mind.
