İstanbul Classic flights last between a minimum of 45 minutes and up to 1 hour, depending on weather conditions and flight operations. In İstanbul Classic flights, we offer the best flight experience in our ultra-wide and comfortable baskets, featuring a maximum capacity of 28 passengers and divided into 8 separate passenger compartments designed for 4 and 3 guests.
Balloons only fly in safe wind and visibility. If your flight is canceled for weather, you get a 100% refund with no fees, ever. We confirm the morning’s go/no-go the evening before.
Your operator confirms the exact pickup time the day before your flight, early enough for you to reach the launch site before liftoff. You’ll be back at your hotel about three hours after pickup.
Ballooning is one of the calmest things you can do in the air. There’s no swaying or sudden movement, just a gentle, near-silent drift. Every pilot is SHGM-licensed and each balloon is fully insured and inspected.
Yes. Children aged 6 and over are welcome, and they fly at a reduced fare. The basket walls are chest-height for most adults, so younger children may need to be lifted to see over the edge.
This package seats up to 28 guests, with baskets divided into compartments so everyone gets an outside view.
Nothing is charged online for now. Send a reservation request and our team confirms availability, then guides you through payment.
