What to Expect - The Flight Process

Flight Check-in phone call
The evening prior to your flight you will need to make a quick call to the flight check-in number. During this call you will listen to a message from your pilot confirming if the weather forecast is suitable for your flight to proceed and receive your exact meeting time. Details for your flight check-in appear on you flight ticket.
Meeting
Your pilots and crew will be on hand to welcome you when you arrive at Barenz Café on Argyle Street, Camden at the designated time. Enjoy a tea or coffee as you sign-in and make you breakfast order. See how the pilot checks the morning’s local winds conditions and listen while he or she gives you a short flight briefing.
Departure
Your adventure begins with a short trip to your launch site. This is determined by your pilot and depends on the wind direction on the morning. We have over a dozen launch sites to choose from in the Macarthur region. This is a good opportunity to get to know your pilot and crew and ask any questions your may have.
Inflation
It takes around 20-25 minutes for the balloon to be inflated and standing upright ready for boarding. You are welcome to help with the setup of the balloon or simply stand back and take photos as your aircraft takes shape and comes to life.
Dawn lift-off!

As the new day dawns you will ascend into the sky in your colourful balloon. Your balloon will float gently along the breeze and in your basket you will feel completely secure, with very little sensation of movement. During your flight you may find yourself drifting just above the treetops then moments later effortlessly ascending to heights of 2000 feet or more.

.
Landing
After approximately one hour you will be greeted by your ground crew as you touch back down to earth. The balloon is packed away with lots of laughs, then you hop back into our vehicles and we return to Barenz Cafe for a gourmet champagne breakfast.
Champagne Breakfast
The excitement of the morning continues over a gourmet champagne breakfast. Relax and enjoy a glass of champagne with your fellow passengers and your pilot as you celebrate one of the most exhilarating mornings of your life.
