When are conducting balloon flights?

 

We are offering flights all over the year and the conducting depends mostly on the weather conditions at the current day. Usually we are flying early in the morning, but it's possible also sometimes in the evenings, in the hours before sunset.

 

 

Why flights are conducting mostly early in the morning?

 

 Early in the morning, weather conditions are most convenient for flying with hot air balloon. Тhe sun is increasing during the day and heats the ground and the surface layer of air, due to that are  forming ascending and descending air flows , which makes difficulties to control the balloon flight.

 Standard flight lasts one hour, which may vary slightly depending on the available landing spots and possible weather changes. Shorter or longer flights are possible by arrangement.

 

 

Where is the takeoff?

 

Possible takeoff spots are located all across Bulgaria, but most often we are flying near Varna city, the northern coast, near the towns of Shumen, Veliko Tarnovo, Sofia and Plovdiv. The exact place and time of flight will be determined by preliminary discussion as our goal is to choose the most beautiful and interesting places convenient for hot air ballooning.

 

 

Where is the landing?

 

 Hot air balloons are moving with the ambient air. The landing spot is calculating with relative accuracy, which is bringing an element of adventure on each flight.

 Although we use the best estimates and our knowledge is accumulated over the years, in the appointed day the weather may change that can make it impossible to conduct the flight. In such case, we will negotiate another day and time, convenient for both parties. If there is no such opportunity, your paid will be refund.

Yes, the flight can be canceled up to three days before the agreed day and the entire amount will be refund. If the cancellation is between this period and 24 hours before the flight we can restore half of the amount. If you cancel flight in the last 24 hours, we will not be able to return the amount.
