The safety of our guests is the top priority for the organizing companies. Early in the morning, the air temperature and humidity, wind speed and direction, possibility of precipitation, and changes in airflow patterns are measured. With these data and the approval from the Civil Aviation Authority, the organizers begin preparing the balloons for flight.
In the event of flight cancellation due to various reasons, our company either refunds 100% of the advance payment made by you or, if guests have the flexibility and the agency has available slots, reschedules the flight for another day. If our company does not have available slots, we make efforts to find them with other companies. However, in such cases, the cost of the flight may increase by 15% – 20% and will be discussed separately with the tourists in real-time.
