RESCHEDULING -- Should your scheduled Flight be cancelled due to inclement weather, we will reschedule your Flight for the next available Flight date.

We primarily fly from the Gunbarrel area in Northeast Boulder, Colorado. Click on the link above for a Map and Driving Directions from several major cities in Colorado to our Launch Site. If you would like to launch elsewhere, please call.

We encourage our passengers to participate in both the inflation and deflation of the Balloon. We have found it adds greatly to the fun of the entire Ballooning experience.

Upon arriving at the Launch site, a full Continental Breakfast is served - and upon returning to the Launch site, each passenger will receive; a Celebratory Bottle of Champagne (adults only), an Official Fair Winds T-shirt & Balloon Pin, and a Personalized Flight Certificate with Photo....and More.

All of our pilots are FAA CERTIFIED COMMERCIAL HOT AIR BALLOON PILOTS AND FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS WITH IMPECCABLE SAFETY RECORDS.

Although we are fully insured, a signed waiver is required from each passenger to fulfill our insurance requirements.

We have enough room in our chase vehicles to transport our crew and passengers. Family members and friends are welcome to come and watch the festivities, but they must provide their own transportation.

Dress casual and comfortable - Wear sneakers or low-heeled shoes. Because of Colorado's varying temperatures, we suggest dressing in layers. For Winter Flights, we strongly suggest warm, dry footwear.

Don't forget them! Bring plenty of extra film / batteries / memory sticks / etc.

Both for safety reasons and in consideration of other passengers, we request that there be no smoking in or around the Balloon or any of the other motorized equipment.

If you need to cancel, you must notify our office at least seven days prior to your scheduled Flight or full charges will be assessed.
