About

Our chase crew will meet you at the Floyd Bennett Airport, gather everyone into our chase vehicles and the adventure starts!

We will drive to a designated spot (location varies each flight depending on wind direction) where we will inflate the balloon and prepare for flight. From there, we take to the sky with our ground crew chasing us, and we will land wherever the winds take us. Once landed, the pilot and crew will pack up the balloon, passengers are encouraged to assist in order to get the full experience of ballooning although participation is not required.

Once the balloon is all packed up, we drive back to our meeting location at the airport to have our post-flight SunKiss Specialty champagne toast. You are able to choose when your experience is completed once we arrive back at our meeting location; this experience is roughly 3 hours in total.
