Hot Air Balloon Questions and Answers 2

Will other passengers fly with us? There are various size baskets and balloons carrying from 4 to 16 passengers or more. If you have a group of 2-couples and book with company that fly a 4 passenger balloon + the pilot no other passengers will fly with you. But if you fly with a company that owns larger baskets i.e. 6 or more passengers you will be flying with a group. Some balloon companies may offer a private flight for an additional charge.

Do all Balloon companies offer flight certificates? Each company may offer different options. Some may offer first flight certificates, others may give balloon pins, many companies offer a brunch or a luncheon. Most companies offer the champagne toast. If you have a special occasion many balloon companies are willing to accommodate your requests, i.e. flowers, banners, etc.

If weather doesn't permit will we be canceled? Since balloonists are especially concerned about your safety your flight may be postponed and rescheduled if weather conditions don't permit. Each balloon company has its own policy, ask before scheduling your flight.
