Reservation for Your Flight

These great Springettesbury Twp. police officers/patrolmen were on a "covert aerial" surveillance - top secret mission.

Their comment:  "Everything appears to be on the Up & Up here!  LOL

Flights are scheduled by reservation only, all year long.  Due to our weather conditions here in the Northeast, early morning usually offer the BEST conditions for flight, and that's why the majority of our flights take place at sun-up.  Wind speed and direction will determine not only our flight path and destination, but also a launch field.  As a result, each balloon flight is guaranteed to be a unique experience.  And average flight covers 10 miles and flight time will be approximately 45-90 minutes in duration.  Weather conditions and landing spots often dictate the duration of each flight.

We fly, WEATHER PERMITTING, all year round.  Not that many flights happen due to fast moving lows.  Our launch times are at sunrise and approximately two hours before sunset, as these times offer the most ideal weather conditions for ballooning.  

Depending on weather you have scheduled a sunrise or sunset flight, you will be advised of actual launch times when you schedule your reservation.

All passengers must be capable of standing for the length of the flight and be able to enter and exit the gondola/basket relatively unassisted.  It is important for us to know if there is anyone in your party weighing over 250 lbs.  The balloon's lift capabilities vary with outside temperature.  Our knowledge of this will only serve to insure that we book the balloon properly and avoid potential unnecessary embarrassment.  

Weight/loading is an important factor in hot air ballooning and determines the number of passengers we can fly at one time.  Larger passengers can be accommodated, and we'll suggest flying during a cooler part of the season.  No additional cost is required.  One price fits all!!!

Due to insurance regulations, we are unable to fly pregnant women or any person with physical limitations that would render this form of entertainment inadvisable.  Please, if you have any questions at all as to the advisability of a flight, feel free to discuss it with us.  We will do all that we can to accommodate you, however, we reserve the right to refuse anyone who, in our opinion, would be a safety liability to themselves or others.  There is no age limit with children but they should be at least 48 inches tall; Young adults under 18 years of age MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian during a flight.

An engagement flgith takes a little more planning on both your part and ours.  Please be sure to give us a call to discuss the ins- and outs- of making sure she/he is TRULY surprised and thinks you are the most romantic guy/girl in the world!

By the way their answer determines when upon landing, if they are still in the basket with us... Just kidding.  Jumpers cost extra!!!

Again, CONGRATULATION!

A wedding flight takes a little more planning on both your part and ours.  Pelase be sure to give us a call to discuss the ins- and outs- of making sure that day is special for the both of you!  Just like planning an outdoor wedding day due to weather, we'll simply fly you both on a private flight on a better day.

We consider marriage to be very sacred between a man and a woman.  We would strongly encourage you to seek out a pastor or minister who is 1) willing to marry you and 2) willing to perform the ceremoney during the balloon ride!  Please call us for more info!

Please keep in mind we have NO control over the weather, but we do have control over the decisions of when it could be dangerous conditions for doing the flight and will indeed exercise those controls
