Arrive Early
Pickup is scheduled pre-dawn; expect a pickup window—bring a headlamp and warm layer for the wait.
Dress in Layers
Temperatures drop before sunrise; wear base layers and wind-resistant outerwear that you can remove after landing.
Protect Your Camera
Bring a lightweight neck strap and lens cloth—dawn light is dramatic but can be dusty during inflation and landing.
Weather Can Cancel
Flights are weather-dependent; book early in your trip and keep a flexible schedule for rebooking if needed.
Warm Layers
Mornings are cold before sunrise and can be windy aloft—pack a fleece and windbreaker.
Camera or Smartphone
Sunrise light and wide panoramas reward a camera with a wide-angle option and extra battery.
Closed-Toe Shoes
Landing can be on uneven ground; sturdy shoes keep you steady.
