The Importance of Choosing the Right Company

Booking a family hot air balloon flight requires leaving no details unchecked. The factor that determines how safe and satisfying the activity will be is the professionalism of the provider. To spot a reliable company, pay attention to the following aspects.

Certifications and Safety

The safety of ballooning is due to its strict regulations. A serious provider will detail its certifications and protocols.

  • The aircraft are only operated by certified pilots. These are individuals who have obtained a Balloon Pilot License (BPL) issued by AESA according to Regulation (EU) 2018/395.
  • The balloon undergoes an annual aviation inspection. By passing this, it renews the Airworthiness Certificate required by Regulation (EU) 2018/395.
  • The balloon is inspected before each flight.
  • Aircraft undergo periodic maintenance.
  • Routes are planned in advance.
  • The company has Mandatory Civil Liability Insurance to protect both travelers and their belongings.
  • The hot air balloon flight complies with the provisions of Regulation 923/2012 and Royal Decree 1180/2018.

Experience

Experience matters. This becomes undeniable when it comes to services directly related to user safety. The knowledge and expertise of a provider are directly proportional to the time they have spent offering the service.
A company that has been dedicated to hot air ballooning for many years knows all the ins and outs of it. As a result, it is more agile and effective when it comes to solving any incidents.
The track record of a hot air balloon operator also says a lot about the level of customer satisfaction. After all, no operator can stay in business for decades without providing high-quality service.

Customer Reviews

As with any business, the reviews left by those who have already tried their balloon flights are particularly telling. When many customers leave positive feedback about an operator, the chances of choosing the right one increase exponentially.

Service Conditions

There are many ways to take a family hot air balloon flight. If you want something that meets your expectations, it's advisable to find out exactly what's included in the activity. For example, industry leaders offer the possibility of making these flights private.
The best operators strive to provide a comprehensive experience for their customers. Therefore, it's common for them to enrich the flight with complementary activities, such as pickup and return services, photographic reports, certificates, and refreshments.

Protocol for Unexpected Events

Prudence is a common trait of the most reliable companies. That's why they only fly when conditions are optimal. To avoid complications, it's necessary to depart at dawn and under favorable weather forecasts. In other words, safety will always take precedence over the flight itself.

Tips for a Balloon Flight with Children

The great thing about flying with your family in a hot air balloon is that it's a plan suitable for children. After all, this is an extremely safe and calm experience. That said, it's important to follow these guidelines to reinforce the safety of the flight.

Is there a minimum age to fly in a balloon?

The regulations governing hot air balloon flights do not establish a mandatory minimum age for participating in this activity. However, companies often require young passengers to be at least 5 years old for the following reasons:

  • At this age, children are able to understand the safety instructions given by the pilot before the flight.
  • Their attention span is developed enough to enjoy the flight and remember it.
  • They are tall enough to appreciate the panoramic views from the balloon's basket. Keep in mind that the basket height is about 1.35 meters, so the child's height should not be much shorter.

What safety measures does the company take?

  • Requiring a minimum age to participate in the flight so that the child understands how to behave while in the balloon.
  • Ensuring that children are always accompanied and under the direct supervision of an adult.
  • Prohibiting holding children in arms during the flight and allowing them to sit on the edges of the basket.

How should I prepare a child to fly in a balloon?

  • Wake them up early and give them a light breakfast to avoid dizziness.
  • Dress them in comfortable clothes and sports shoes.
  • Since they will need to stand for the entire flight, it's advisable that they rest beforehand.
  • Take them to the bathroom before the flight, as the activity lasts from 3 hours onwards.
  • Prepare them for the noise of the burners, as it may be bothersome for more sensitive children.
