Can pregnant women fly in a balloon?+
No. Pregnant women cannot join balloon flights for safety reasons. Those with serious heart or blood pressure conditions should also not fly.
What time is the balloon tour?+
Balloon flights take place at sunrise. The hotel transfer starts 1-1.5 hours before the flight — between 04:00 and 05:30 in the morning. The exact time varies depending on the operator's schedule and the season.
What should I wear during the balloon tour?+
Layered clothing (mornings are cool). Closed, comfortable shoes are essential. A hat, gloves (in winter), and sunglasses are useful. Clothing that doesn't restrict your movement in and out of the basket.
How much is the balloon tour per person, and can I pay in Turkish lira?+
The Standard flight starts from €100 per person; the Romantic private basket is priced on request. Prices are in euros; the site's currency selector shows the TRY and USD equivalent at that day's rate. Ask us on WhatsApp for the current price.
How long is the balloon flight and what time does it start?+
The flight lasts about 60 minutes (Romantic private 60-90 minutes). Balloons only fly at sunrise; hotel pickup is about an hour before sunrise and the exact time is confirmed the day before. See the 'Are balloons flying today?' page for today's wind outlook.
How many people fit in a balloon, and is there a private balloon for two?+
The Standard basket carries 16-20 passengers. A private basket for two only is available with the Romantic Private Balloon package, popular for proposals and anniversaries.
Which month is best for a Cappadocia balloon flight?+
Balloons fly all year. April-June and September-October are the most balanced: calm mornings and mild temperatures. Winter offers snow-covered fairy chimneys, but wind and fog make cancellations more likely than in summer.
