Booking a Balloon Flight

A sunrise balloon flight is a memorable way to mark a milestone birthday or reward a team. Flights lift off at dawn above the bay city, spend roughly an hour in the air and finish with a buffet breakfast once the basket is down.

What to plan around:

  • Weather. Balloons need light, settled winds, so wind and weather can move or cancel a flight on the morning; ask how rebooking works.
  • The early start. Launch is around dawn, so guests may want to stay nearby the night before.
  • Basket size. Ask how many fit in a basket and whether a whole group can fly together.
  • Price. Flights start from $422 per person, with breakfast after landing part of the experience.

A flight works well as a gift or a highlight within a 50th birthday or a corporate event, with the party itself held later in the day. Staying the night before in the CBD or on the Waterfront makes the dawn meeting time far less painful.

Booking a flight as a gift

  • Choose a voucher or booking with flexible dates, since the morning weather decides whether the flight goes ahead.
  • Ask when the final go or no-go call is made so guests are not left waiting.
  • Plan the celebration lunch or dinner separately so a postponed flight does not derail the day.

Flying with a team

  • Ask whether a larger team can fly together or needs to spread across more than one morning.
  • Breakfast after landing gives the team time to talk over the flight.
  • Arrange a minibus back to the office or hotel afterwards.

Is ballooning a good 50th or 60th birthday present?
