FAQs

Balloons Above

  • Do you fly up high?

    Our flights are guided by wind patterns, allowing us to reach altitudes of up to 5,000 feet above ground level. We navigate upwards, downwards, and with the wind to reach our intended destination.

  • How long will my flight be?

    Typically, our hot air balloon rides last between 45 minutes to an hour. We don't charge extra if we need additional time to find an optimal landing spot, which can vary based on weather conditions.

  • Is there an age limit?

    We welcome passengers of all ages on our flights. However, children under two years old must be securely attached to an adult for safety reasons.

  • How long have you been flying?

    Our team boasts over 45 years of combined experience in both competitive and leisure ballooning, ensuring a safe and enjoyable flight for all our passengers.

  • Why should I choose Balloons Above?

    We offer extensive experience spanning decades, coupled with state-of-the-art balloon models featuring the most accessible baskets available in the industry.

  • What kind of clothing should I wear?

    We recommend dressing as you would for a hike. Closed-toe shoes are advised, along with a jacket or layered clothing for comfort during the flight.

  • Do I need to bring a heavy coat?

    A heavy coat isn't necessary as the temperature remains relatively constant throughout the flight. Layered clothing is usually sufficient for comfort.

  • Do you have a weight restriction?

    Our average weight limit is 250 pounds per passenger. If you exceed this limit, please inform us in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.
