About our flights

What to expect

All of our flights feature a premiere private sunrise flight for two passengers in a new completely custom designed Lindstrand balloon. From the brilliant colors of the fabric, to the custom colored wicker and leather trimmed basket, you will be in awe of this incredible aircraft, which incorporates the very latest in balloon technology and safety features.

Pre-flight

Prior to your flight, you will meet our balloon “family” - our balloon crew! Relax while we unpack and assemble the equipment, or if you would like, you can join in and help us prepare the balloon for flight (we'll provide plenty of instruction - no experience required!). After we cold-inflate the balloon with a gas powered fan, we'll hit the burners and the enormous aircraft will come to life. Once you climb aboard you will receive a pre-flight briefing, and the pilot and crew will launch the balloon.

Your flight

Each and every one of our flights is a unique experience. Your flight will last approximately one hour, sometimes a few minutes less, sometimes a few minutes more, depending on weather, direction of flight and available landing sites. Balloons fly with the wind, and therefore you will not feel wind or turbulence. Our vertical control will be finite, but steering left or right is controlled by the wind. You will notice the silence of the flight is broken periodically by the roar of the burner. Meanwhile, the Flying Colours Balloon Team will be chasing the balloon from the ground. We are in constant communication via 2-way radios and cell phones.

Towards the end of your flight, your pilot will begin looking for a suitable landing spot. We'll try to find a convenient spot by a road, but a safe landing spot is the primary concern, and we may have to walk a short distance.

Post-flight

Once on the ground, we will pack up all the equipment and follow with our elegant White Linen Post-Flight Tailgate Celebration! The menu varies with each flight, but always includes fresh fruit, pastries, and complimentary Champagne - Champagne Sabering upon request! We'll also have a traditional toast to commemorate your great adventure. In addition, each passenger will receive a Simply Irresistible T-Shirt and first flight certificate! Afterwards we will return you to the launch site in our luxury conversion van.

You should plan for 3 to 4 hours for the entire experience. Your friends and relatives are welcome to follow along, but our transportation space is limited and following along in their own vehicles may be necessary. Don't forget to bring your camera and several times the film as you'd expect to use!

It's the ultimate balloon flight. . .simply the best!

Reservations are required, but please keep in mind that due to weather, it is impossible for us to guarantee that you will be able to fly on a specific day and time. When you make a reservation, it reserves that flight window for you so that if we are able to fly that date, you will be with us. Don't worry if we don't get to fly that day - if we are cancelled due to weather we will reschedule your flight for another day.
