What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

This flight is weather-dependent. If conditions aren't safe, your flight will be rescheduled rather than cancelled. Check the Global Ballooning Australia app by 6:00 PM the evening before for the latest update on your flight status and confirmed meeting time.

How do I receive my digital photos?

Digital photos are included in your ticket and will be provided after the flight. The operator will advise on the delivery method on the day.

Can children join the flight?

Children aged 6 and over are welcome. Under-6s cannot participate. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult, and 16–18 year olds can fly without an adult present if they have written guardian consent.

Is there a weight limit?

Yes — the maximum weight per person is 199 kg. This is a safety requirement set by the operator.

How many people will be in the balloon basket?

Each basket holds 10–12 passengers, so it's a small-group experience rather than a private flight.

Is this experience accessible for wheelchair users?

Unfortunately this activity is not suitable for wheelchair users due to the physical requirements of boarding and riding in the balloon basket.
