***All flights are weather dependent***

Pricing/reservations - all prices include all fees and taxes. Cash customers save $25 per person. To make a reservation we require a credit card to hold your space. We do not charge your card until the flight is complete, you miss the flight, or cancel inside our cancellation policy.

Shared Flight/Combined parties - $425 per person (maximum of 5 total passengers)

***Maxinum of 5 passengers plus pilot

A majority of our rides are shared flights in which we combine parties (up to 5 total passengers). This distributes the cost of ballooning while still offering an intimate comfortable experience.

When cancelled between 3-7 days prior to the flight time 50% of the total cost will be charged.

Weather Briefing / Weather policy:

Flights cancelled due to weather have zero cost. As we approach the flight date the pilot may contact you with weather information as far as 3 days out if there is an obvious weather concern such as storms or when a low pressure is dominating the area to offer alternative dates. As we get closer to a flight date and see good weather slots we try to adjust available passengers who booked the earliest to those days if there is space (when making a reservation we will ask both the town you are coming from and the duration of your stay). Weather forecasts are often incorrect more than 24-48 hours out, and often change as we get closer. Final weather updates are given at 8pm the evening before morning flights, and at approximately 10:30 am for evening flights. (During the fall this may come a little later if I was flying that morning), While rare on field cancellations are a possibility. Weather forecasts are often incorrect more than 24-48 hours out, I weigh the official aviation forecasts that come out daily at 2am/pm and 8am/pm the heaviest for wind data and final weather decisions.

Ride Details

Quechee Balloon Rides offers hot air balloon rides twice daily; approximately a half hour after sunrise and again two hours prior to sunset.  Flights last 40-60 minutes. Morning flights average 50-60 minutes, evening flights average 45-55 minutes. We always attempt to fly for an hour and often do, sometime more. Fog during the morning or wind delays in the evening are the primary reasons for a slightly shorter ride, that being said foggy mornings offer a incredibly scenic experience and wind delays typically mean traveling a greater distance. We are flying in a very beautiful but very wooded area and don’t have a traditional steering wheel, as a result flight time varies. The entire experience lasts approximately 3 hours. I suggest allowing a little extra time if making dinner reservations or plans after the flight. The flight concludes with a champagne toast and light picnic. If you are in the area for a limited time, we recommend scheduling your flight toward the beginning of your visit so if the flight has to be cancelled due to poor weather conditions, there is a better chance it can be re-scheduled.

All flights are weather dependent. In the event of a weather cancellation, there is no charge. We only get paid if we fly or if a party fails to show-up or fails to arrive on time for their reservation and misses the flight. See reservation cancellation policy (non-weather related cancellations) and weather briefings/communication at bottom of page.

***Individual passenger weights are required to make a reservation. Each of our balloons have a maximum payload. For safety and comfort it is imperative that accurate weights are provided.
