What months do you operate?
Our primary season is May to September. Flights may be available outside of these
months. Please give us a call to inquire about availability.
Where do you fly?
We serve two flying locations: Bozeman & Big Sky.
Where do you meet for your flight?
The meeting location specific to your chosen date and flying location (Bozeman or Big Sky) will be sent in your confirmation email.
Are your pilots licensed?
Yes! Please see our
TEAM page for more information on our crew and their experience.
All of our team members are part of the FAA-DOT drug and alcohol screening program.
How high do you fly?
Our normal flight altitudes range from 200' to 2,500' above the ground.
What if I'm afraid of heights?
No worries! More than 85% of our passengers consider themselves afraid of heights in
some way or another. For those that are adventurous enough to take the first step, most
people ask us when they can fly again! The reason is simple: there is no turbulence, no
swaying, no wind, and no motion whatsoever.
What conditions prohibit flight?
Ballooning is strictly a fair weather sport. Assuming good visibility, the key consideration
for a safe flight is wind speed. Generally, a launch will not take place if ground wind
speeds exceed 8 mph. High winds can cause unsafe landing conditions. Rain,
surrounding storm systems, or high winds are weather conditions that prompt us to
postpone or reschedule a flight.
Do I have to sign a waiver?
Yes, each person flying in the balloon will need to sign a waiver. Minors (those under
18) must have a waiver showing written consent from their parental or legal guardian.
When do you fly?
Flights are conducted shortly after sunrise when surface winds are the calmest.
How do we get back?
Our first class chase crew will follow the balloon during flight. Passengers will be
shuttled back to the meeting point upon landing for a champagne toast!
How far do you fly?
Every flight is different and distance is determined by the wind. Flight distances typically
range between 2-20 miles.
How long is a flight?
Flight times range from 45-75 minutes. Flight durations often depend on wind speed
and direction.
Can I bring a camera?
Absolutely! We'd probably give you a funny look if you didn't.
How do you make your fly / no fly weather decision?
Our team has access to up-to-the-minute weather and wind forecasting, provided
specifically for aviation. On rare occasions you may note that our reports vary from
smart phone weather forecasts. Please understand, due to the specific nature of our
flight operations, we must make our fly / no fly decisions based on weather reports
provided by these sources.
What happens if I cannot make my flight?
We have a strict 14-day cancelation policy, within which you will be responsible for full
payment. Please contact us prior to this timeframe if changes need to be made, and we
will do our very best to accommodate rescheduling.
Can friends and family come along to watch our flight?
Of course! However, we have limited space in our shuttle vehicles. Spectators will need
to travel on their own, but are welcome to follow our chase crew. Please be advised that
our crew's top priority is the safety of the balloon and its passengers. We will do our
best to accommodate family and friends who would like to follow.
