Flight Notes:
– You will be asked to sign a liability and hold harmless waiver upon arrival.
– Please be aware that you must be physically able to climb in and out of the balloon basket. Unfortunately, Hot Air Balloons are not Handicapped Accessible.
– Balloon Flights are dependable on the weather and pilot’s discretion. Launches maybe moved up or moved later depending on the weather. There are times when it might appear perfect for a launch on the ground, but just slightly above the trees, the wind is too much for balloons to launch.
– Various Balloons can hold a certain number of passengers which can vary from 8 to 2 and are also dependant on basket weight. While we will do whatever we can to keep everyone in your party in the same basket, it’s not always possible.
WEATHER POLICY: If due to weather issues, the balloon company can’t reschedule your flight, winning tickets will not be reimbursed by Stewart’s. NO REFUNDS for missed flights.
Children who are under 48-inches are not permitted to fly as they cannot see out of the basket.
Flights are at the discretion of the pilot. If they decide not to fly for whatever reason, the balloon company will work to reschedule you.
You will be asked to sign a waiver and release upon arrival.
