I saw another balloon flying in the area, so why was my flight cancelled?

Sometimes you might see another balloon flying when your flight has been cancelled. This can be confusing and frustrating. Let's explore why this happens and what it means for your next booking.

Why Some Balloons Fly While Others Don't

Independent Decision Making

Our pilots make their own decisions based on safety considerations, regardless of what other balloonists do.

Weather Factors

Different take-off locations may have varying wind conditions, allowing some balloons to fly while others cannot.

Private vs. Commercial Flights

Private balloons can legally fly in poorer visibility conditions than our commercial flights. They're also usually smaller, making them easier to handle.

What to Do If Your Flight is Cancelled

If your flight is cancelled due to weather or related factors, you can easily rebook for another date. We always prioritise your safety and enjoyment.
