Fly with two or a group of loved ones

How is a private balloon flight different from a traditional flight? Mainly because you have the whole balloon to yourself and your family, colleagues or close friends. Only an experienced pilot will be on board with you. Unlike normal flights where you share the basket with other passengers, here you have the opportunity to enjoy privacy and peace in the company of those you love. And you can do it as a couple or in a group of up to 10 airmen. The more you fly, the cheaper the price per head is, of course.

How does such a private balloon flight work?

  • The first step to a trip to the sky is to purchase a voucher. Once you have the voucher in your pocket, you need to arrange a date when the weather is favourable and you can fly. First, you will meet the pilot who will transfer you to the take-off point, then together you will prepare the balloon for flight and it's time to hop on board.

  • The flight itself takes around 60 minutes. The experience is a matter of about 3 hours thanks to the preparations and the subsequent closing ceremony. It doesn't end with the landing. Once on the ground, look forward to a celebratory toast and baptism by the four elements, after which you will become a full member of the ballooning family. You'll take home a certificate and a noble title to prove it.

  • But back to the flight - the balloon will fly upwards thanks to the hot air from the burner. So you don't have to worry about being colder than on the ground. You'll be sailing through the countryside at wind speeds ranging from something like 5 to 20 km/h. The wind speed and direction will determine how far and where you go. And because the balloon is moving with the wind, it will feel like it's completely windless out there. It's just a breeze.

What is the right occasion for a private balloon flight?

Looking for the perfect occasion for your private ballooning? Come and see when you can enjoy this awesome experience.

An engagement that will go down in (your) history

What could be more romantic than proposing to your loved one a few hundred metres above the ground, with just you and the spectacular views? While the balloon isn't exactly renowned for its easy handling, the pilot can rise and fall just enough to catch a favourable wind and carry you where you need to go.

So if you've got a spot of your own, it's certainly no problem arranging with the pilot to enjoy it from a bird's eye view. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better place to express yourself.

Private ballooning as unconventional teambuilding

Going to sit in a pub isn't exactly an original way to bring a work team together. But when you take to the skies together in a hot air balloon basket, you'll find common ground outside the office too. After such teambuilding, you can then address each other at work by the newly acquired names you get after the christening ceremony, when you become barons and baronesses.

Original dates and unforgettable anniversaries

A date at a café or an anniversary at a fancy restaurant? Try it differently this year. A private hot air balloon flight is a great opportunity to literally take your precious other half out of the blue. Just don't forget to snap a few photos so they look nice in the album. Or just give the gift of a private balloon flight with professional photos, where you can do it without any worries.

A birthday that just won't be trumped by anything

A private balloon ride is a great way to celebrate your milestone, and it doesn't matter if you're celebrating your 30th birthday or maybe your 70th. It's a peaceful adventure that all generations can enjoy. With room for up to 10 passengers in the basket, the celebrant can have the entire immediate family around them.

So do you know what occasion will win it for you? The good news is that you can fly in all regions of the Czech Republic, so the take-off location is purely up to your agreement with the pilot. So take to the skies!
