Frequently asked questions

What time do flights take place?+

Balloon flights launch shortly after sunrise, when the winds are calmest and the air is most stable. Your crew will confirm a meeting time and place when you book.

Are you a ticket broker?+

No. Balloon Atlanta is locally owned and operated — we are not ticket brokers. When you book with us, you fly with our pilots and our crew.

How long is the experience?+

Plan for roughly 3–4 hours start to finish, including pre-flight setup, about an hour of flight time, and the traditional post-flight toast. Time aloft depends on weather and wind.

How do gift certificates work?+

Pick a flight, order through our secure online system, and you'll get a link to download a customized certificate right away. You can re-download it any time within one year. Certificates are valid for one year and include a 15-day full-refund window.

What happens if the weather is bad?+

Safety comes first — ballooning depends on calm, stable conditions. If the weather doesn't cooperate, your pilot will reschedule your flight for the next available good-weather morning.

Can you do corporate or branded balloons?+

Absolutely. We design hot air balloon programs and schedule regional and national events. A branded balloon is a public-relations tool that makes people smile when they think of your company.
