Where does the hot air balloon flight depart from?

Flights typically depart from Chester, Maryland. The pilot will confirm exact meeting coordinates 1–2 days before your flight, based on optimal wind and weather conditions.

Is the basket private for just our group?

Yes. This package includes a private balloon basket experience, so you'll have the entire balloon and pilot exclusively for your group.

How long is the flight and full experience?

The flight itself lasts around 1 hour, while the entire experience—including inflation, flight, landing, and post-flight celebration—typically takes 2.5 to 3 hours.

What time of day do flights take place?

Flights are scheduled at sunrise or sunset when conditions are calmest and visuals are most stunning. Exact time is confirmed prior to departure.

Dress in comfortable outdoor clothing with closed-toe shoes. Early flights may be cool, so we recommend wearing layers. Avoid high heels or sandals.

Are there age or weight restrictions?

Yes. Passengers should be at least 6 years old and capable of standing unassisted. Weight limits typically apply—generally under 250 lbs per person.

What happens in case of poor weather?

Flights are weather dependent. If conditions are unsafe—due to wind, rain, or visibility—you’ll be rescheduled at no cost for a future date.

Can we bring cameras or phones?

Absolutely. You’re welcome to take photos or videos during the flight, but be cautious and keep devices securely held, as baskets have open sides.

Is ballooning safe in Chester MD?

Yes. All flights are conducted by certified FAA-licensed pilots with years of experience, and safety is the top priority. Ballooning is considered one of the safest forms of aviation.

Is there a toast or celebration after landing?

Yes! A traditional champagne toast or sparkling cider is included following the landing to celebrate your private balloon adventure.
