Do ensure you are fit to fly and can stand for about an hour.
Pregnant women and anyone who has recent undergone surgery should not fly - if in doubt please speak to your GP.
Do remember the Pilot is in charge of the aircraft, this is important for your safety and listen to the passenger safety briefing.
Balloons fly just after dawn or a few hours before sunset when conditions are likely to be best.
Do make sure you are on time - the balloon cannot wait for you.
Do telephone the operator’s Passenger Line, to get up to date information prior to your flight.
Balloons need certain weather conditions to fly safely, so it is not unusual for your flight to be cancelled and rearranged a few times. However around 30,000 passengers fly each year, so please be a little patient.
Advertised Launch sites may need to change on the day of your flight if the forecast wind direction would take the flight into airspace, or other problem areas.
Balloons fly with the wind so the landing site and exact flight duration cannot be guaranteed.
You should dress as if out for a walk in the countryside, in clothing made from natural fibres when taking your flight. Shoes or boots should be flat.
Tall passengers may find a cotton cap useful protection from the radiant heat of the burners above.
Do remember that ballooning is proven to be one of the safest forms of aviation, so take your camera and enjoy your flight experience.
