You're about to Experience the Thrill of Hot Air Ballooning

 Dear Balloon Enthusiast(s): 

     Thank you for choosing AE Balloon Flights, LLC for your ballooning adventure.  We are the only balloon company offering exclusive flights over the scenic vistas of the Susquehanna River between York and Lancaster Counties.  If we're good at anything, I know, "We Can Change Your Altitude!"

     We are processing your information and making arrangements for your scheduled flight.  Please See Confirmation instructions below when confirming with us, right before your scheduled flight.

     When you call to confirm, at that time, we will give you instructions as to an ARRIVAL TIME and PLACE to meet for your adventure.  We've started Text Messaging passengers weather a GO or NO GO flight.  

     If we don't answer, please listen to our Recorded Message, as it sometimes has instruction about your scheduled flight.  But please leave a voicemail with a name and number or alternate number where to reach you.  We may be checking with the FAA Weather Flight Services, finishing a flight or speaking with other passengers, or refueling propane for your flight, etc.

     A NO answer from us, doesn't mean a cancellation, BUT will constitute a NO SHOW FEE charged to your credit card if you miss your scheduled flight.  We apologize and WILL call you back!!  If you have to go to bed, please DON'T TURN YOUR PHONE OFF / RINGER OFF / DO NOT DISTURB mode!!!!!!!  

Reservation date:  It should have been TEXTED to you or the point person's phone, but you can also scroll down below to Upcoming Scheduled Flight Availability and find the name of your Party's Point person and to verify your reservation, (Name, contact #, # of passengers, total weight and date) has been booked.  Give us a call if you don't see it posted.

Arrive at launch site no later than:  (confirmed time/location when you called)

• SUNRISE = 0.5 hours before
• SUNSET = 2 hrs. before 

You can use SunriseSunset.com.  Just change the Month and Year, respectively.

Meeting/Launch site address:  Mack's IceCream - 5745 Lincoln Hwy • York, PA  17406

We may have to move based on wind direction, and will be decided after releasing a Pi-ball.  Pi-ball??

You will need to call us at 717-600-8482 (Business Mobile), please do NOT call before, but a little: 

• AFTER 9:03pm (the EVENING BEFORE your SUNRISE flight)
• AFTER 3:03pm (the AFTERNOON of your SUNSET flight) 

WHY???   Please DO NOT call us BEFORE times suggested above or you may get a recording.  We could be refueling propane, talking with other passengers; or speaking with FAA Weather Flight Service (FAAWFS).  FAAWFS sometimes doesn't update until 15 mins. before your call to us..... PLEASE HOLD!

     As per our original phone conversation, please follow the Information Packet link to start downloading the PDF and/or forward this page to the rest of the party/group.  In the Info Packet, you will learn more about the sport of hot air ballooning and what you can expect on your journey.  

     Vital information is also contained about your flight's SAFETY, scheduling, cancellation policy, what to wear.  No need to print anything for us.  We will have the Waiver Forms for you ALL to sign at our initial meet & greet.

     Please take time to review this information along with the rest of your group.  We are scheduled to launch from the East York area to take advantage of the scenic vistas of the beautiful Susquehanna River Valley.  However, wind direction/speed may have us move to a different location while meeting.  Or we could have to wait the weather out a short bit.  It's been rare, but we could cancel ☹ the flight on the field.  Again, SAFETY IS #1 with us!!! 

SAFETY drives how we determine our flights!!  And you will hear every great pilot in their decision making recite the picture quote below.

      Nobody likes the dirty little 'C-word'.... CANCELLED!!!  Please check out our Weather page for what goes into our decision making of "weather" to fly or not.  Believe me, the pilot and crew are just as disappointed as your are.  But YOUR SAFETY is our #1 Goal!  Be sure to check out our FAQs.
