Reserve your balloon flight

We'll WhatsApp back within 1 hour with available dates and final pricing. Book early — peak season sells out 2–3 months ahead.

Flights are weather-dependent. If canceled for weather, you're fully refunded — that's the safety system working. 20% deposit confirms booking.

Before you fly

Very — when you book a licensed operator. Cappadocia balloon tourism is tightly regulated: TÜRSAB certification required, aircraft inspected monthly, pilots need thousands of flight hours. We work only with operators with spotless multi-year safety records. Flights are canceled for weather about 1 in 5 days — that's the safety system working. Accept the cancellation, fly the next day.
You're fully refunded. If you're still in Cappadocia the next day, we rebook you for free. If you're leaving, refund comes within 2 business days. That's why we recommend 2 nights minimum in Cappadocia — so if day 1 is canceled, you have a second chance.
2–3 months ahead for peak season (April–October, especially June–September). Weekends sell out first. Winter is more flexible. Last-minute is possible but don't count on it — it's our #1 request.
Layers — dawn in Cappadocia is cold (near freezing in shoulder season, 40–50°F in summer mornings). Warm jacket, long pants, closed-toe shoes. No loose scarves, big hats, or dresses — they can blow off. Gloves in winter. Sunglasses for when the sun comes up.
Yes — minimum age 6. Kids must be tall enough to see over the basket edge (typically 4 feet) and able to stand for an hour. Not recommended for very small children. Pregnancy: not recommended after the first trimester.
Standard: 16–24 passengers per basket (divided into compartments). Comfort: 8–12. Private charter: just your group (2–6 people). Larger balloons fly higher and more smoothly. Smaller means more room and better photos.
Shared flights: bring your own phone/camera. Private charters include pilot-taken photos and video. Tip: turn on airplane mode + open camera app ahead of time. Your hands will be full once the sun rises. Also — the landing is an iconic shot.
20% deposit via Wise, Zelle, or credit card to confirm. The deposit secures your slot. Remaining 80% on the morning of the flight, cash (USD/EUR/TRY). Full refund if weather cancels.
