Hot air balloon flight in Kaunas

Included:

• safety briefing before the flight
• 45–60 min hot air balloon flight
• professional pilot services
• experienced ground team (passengers do not need to participate in packing the balloon)
• transport from the meeting point to the launch site and back after the flight
• symbolic ceremony after the flight
• a glass of champagne
• flight diploma

Additionally:

• pickup from Vilnius or other cities is possible (arranged in advance, for an additional fee)

After purchasing a ticket, you must contact us by phone to arrange the flight time.

If you have only one specific day on which you can fly, we recommend calling before purchasing a ticket – this way we can immediately assess the options and register you.

When registering, it is important to inform us about:

• health conditions or injuries
• pregnancy (balloon flights are generally not recommended during pregnancy)
• mobility restrictions

If you have any doubts about your ability to fly, it is always best to first consult a doctor and inform the pilot. If we know about the situation in advance, in certain cases we can offer a flight in completely calm wind conditions (usually early in the morning).

Important: if a passenger arrives without informing us about a health condition that could pose a danger to themselves and others, the pilot has the right to refuse to take them on the flight – this is done for the passenger's own safety.

We suggest dressing according to the current weather; once the balloon lifts off, the temperature will remain almost the same. It may be cooler in the morning before takeoff, and in the evening after landing.

Key information:

• We are unable to wait for late flight participants. The takeoff time is strictly planned according to weather conditions, and even a 15-minute delay can cause complications during the flight.
• Comfortable, closed shoes are very important. Flying in high heels is prohibited for both your safety and the safety of the balloon.
• Please do not bring large backpacks or extra items, as space in the basket is limited.
• Make sure you have a safe place to store your photography equipment and mobile phones during takeoff and landing.
• We recommend bringing a hat or hood, as the burners above your head emit heat.
• We often land in meadows where the grass may be wet, so we advise choosing suitable clothing.
• If you bring glass containers (e.g., soft drinks), you must have a safe place to store them before landing.
• Flying under the influence of alcohol is prohibited.

The flight is calm and smooth; apart from the landing, there is no shaking or turbulence at all. However, the course of the flight is always a bit unpredictable – even the pilot does not know the exact landing spot in advance, as it depends on the wind direction.

During the flight, you are free to chat with the pilot – we even encourage it, as our pilots love sharing knowledge about balloons and incredible flight stories! However, it is very important to follow the pilot's instructions throughout the flight and to let them concentrate during landing and unplanned situations.

Also important:

• Listen carefully to the flight briefing before takeoff
• Do not touch the equipment before or during the flight
• Stay calm and do not disrupt the course of the flight

In somewhat stronger wind, you will need to hold on with both hands during landing, as the basket may bounce off the ground several times before coming to a complete stop. This is a completely safe and even very fun experience – the most important thing is to follow the pilot's instructions!

Safety always comes first.

Flights are not conducted in the following conditions:

• strong wind
• precipitation
• probability of storms
• unstable weather conditions

We monitor the weather constantly and respond to changes in forecasts in real time using precipitation radars. Therefore, it is very important to understand that we may postpone a flight even in nice weather, because we see that conditions may change during the flight.

In such cases, the flight is rescheduled to the nearest day, and if you are unable to attend any other flight, your money is refunded.
