Let us walk through how your balloon flight shall be unlike any other air trips you might have taken up so far:

Tell Me About Safety

Skywaltz consists of a crew of some of the most experienced balloon pilots in the world qualified from institutions abroad. We are well insured as per the international standards. Though a trip with an uncertain destination and with high weather dependency, your ride would be quite blissful when unpredicted. As you gently elevate from the ground, you would tend to let go of your worries and relax, feeling weightless in the air. The elevation would be slow and stable though the view from the top would be breath-taking. You might be concerned if the basket in which you would be present would be rocky if the passengers move around. But the manufacturers of these baskets are very efficient about designing these baskets so the balloon remains stable even when you are midair and make some movements inside the balloon.

Your balloon would most likely fly till about two thousand feet above the ground which is hardly more than three trees in length. The speed of the balloon also would depend on the speed of the air. Trained pilots give close attention to wind speeds which shouldn’t exceed above 10 mph.  And the landing might feel quite bumpy as well but you would be given proper instructions before the landing to ensure a comfortable and gentle landing experience preventing all sorts of risks.

It is going to be a great opportunity for you to let go of your phobia for heights as you enjoy the aerial view of historically iconic cities. The blissful view shall make you forget all your worries and troubles.

Can’t Decide What To Wear

Under a hot air balloon, you would definitely feel quite warm considering the burners present to steer the height of your balloon. Even in cold weather, you can expect to feel fairly warm to remove your heavy clothing. They would somewhat feel like standing near a bonfire so you are most likely to sweat a lot during your ride. Therefore, it is advisable to go for loose and comfortable clothes with less heat absorbing capacity. Light-colored clothes shall also be preferred to maximize the comfort of your hot air ballooning experience.

Be Flexible About Timings And Destinations

The hot air balloon ride comes with some uncertainties. The timings and your landing locations might change as per the weather conditions when you are soaring across the sky. Trust in your pilot as he won’t risk the safety of your lives ever. Even when the weather forecast is kept in mind for your ride, the weather conditions might change unforeseeably. So we recommend keeping some spare time and learning about the landing locations. The pilot will take care of your ride best to your comfort and safety.

Stand Throughout The Duration Of Your Trip

The gondola basket attached with the hot air balloon doesn’t have chairs for you to sit back on. The ride shall last for an hour or a few so be prepared to stand for throughout the duration of your hot air balloon trip. It is advisable to keep heels or any other uncomfortable footwear out of the picture as it might ruin your experience and be uncomfortable for your feet. You can choose to wear athletic shoes or cushioned flip flops or even slippers for a featherlight experience!
