  • Private flights must have a minimum of two passengers. If a group booking a private flight weighs greater than 400lbs combined, we recommend calling us to be sure we have an available basket that can carry more than 400lbs. If you are only one passenger, call us for assistance,
  • Most of our baskets are 48 inches tall and we require passengers to be at least six years old.
  • We have a two-week cancellation policy and require you to cancel at least two weeks before your flight.
  • If you are traveling to Asheville just to fly with us, we recommend you contact us to check on weather conditions before you travel.
  • Our insurance prevents us from taking pregnant passengers.
  • We reserve the right to cancel flights for passengers that we deem are not fit to fly. If you have health issues, please contact your physician, and let us know before your scheduled flight.
  • Flights last 1 hour, and the entire process takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. Online purchases must be made 24 hours in advance of a flight. Call 828-707-2992 if booking less than 24 hours in advance.

 We can never give you a 100% guarantee that we will be good to go until we are in real-time at the launch site. A flight will likely be canceled when any of the following basic weather forecasts are applicable:

  •  Surface wind speed is greater than 6 MPH or winds aloft are too fast
  • Visibility is less than 10 miles
  • Raining
