A Public Basket per passenger is $300.00. A Private Basket per passenger is $400.00.

ALL FLIGHTS ARE AT SUNRISE. We do not schedule PM flights (sunset flights) as weather conditions in Asheville rarely make ballooning in the afternoon possible.

  • It’s OK to book just one passenger, but we require a minimum of three scheduled passengers per (shared) public flight in one morning.
  • Private flights must have a minimum of two passengers.
  • Individual passengers weighing greater than 250 lbs. are required to book a private flight.
  • 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.

Flights last 1 hour, and the entire process takes about 2.5 to 3 hours. Please choose a public or private hot air balloon flight to view our availability calendar. 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 reserve the right to cancel any flight if safety is ever in question and/or the weather conditions are deemed unfavorable by the pilot.
  • It is best to schedule a balloon flight with a backup date in mind just in case weather conditions on the scheduled date are unfavorable for balloon flying.

  1.  Surface wind speed is greater than 6 MPH or winds aloft are too fast
