Do weather conditions affect a balloon flight?
Unlike powered flight, hot air balloons depend on wind currents and wind direction to travel from one point to another, so inclement weather such as gusty or high winds and rain can prevent a flight from taking off. In the event of possible inclement weather, passengers will be notified the night before when they ring their pilot; Should the flight not proceed, they then have the option of rescheduling the flight or receiving a refund of any deposit monies paid.
