Arrive early for pickup
Hotel pickups usually start before sunrise—confirm your pickup point and be ready at least 10 minutes early to avoid delays.
Bring layered clothing
Temperatures are cold at launch then warm quickly in the sun—light insulating layers and a windproof shell work best.
Secure camera gear
Use a wrist or neck strap and avoid protruding lenses during landing: balloons can jostle and cameras fall easily.
Mind the weight limit
Operators enforce a 100 kg maximum per passenger; disclose accurate weight at booking to avoid issues on the day.
Layered jacket
Light down or synthetic jacket for cold pre-dawn temps that you can remove as it warms.
Closed-toe shoes
Sturdy shoes protect your feet during launch, landing, and any short walks at ground level.
Sunglasses & hat
Sun is strong after sunrise—protect your eyes and face once you’re back on the ground.

Camera with strap
A wide-angle lens captures the pyramids and valley—secure it with a strap to prevent drops.
