Economy Flight
Your journey begins around 1.5 hours before sunrise, with a pickup from your hotel to the balloon company’s office for registration and a light breakfast. During this time, pilots assess the weather to select the best take-off location for the day, considering wind speed and direction for an optimal flight.

Once cleared by the Turkish Civil Aviation authority, you’ll head to the designated take-off area, where you can watch the final preparations as the balloon is inflated before you clamber into the basket.

The Flight Experience
The Cappadocia Balloon Flight lasts about an hour, with your pilot skillfully guiding you over picturesque valleys and iconic landscapes. As the sun rises, its golden light illuminates the unique rock formations, creating mesmerizing views. The sky is filled with over 100 other balloons, adding to the enchanting atmosphere.

Because balloons follow the wind, the flight duration may vary by 5–10 minutes, and the landing site may differ from the take-off point. After landing, you’ll be met by waiting minivans.

Celebration and Return
Celebrate your flight with a traditional champagne toast and receive a flight certificate as a keepsake. Then, you’ll be transported back to your hotel, where a second breakfast awaits, letting you savour memories of a truly extraordinary morning.
