Take-off Time: Flights depart at sunrise (exact pick-up times vary seasonally between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM, confirmed the day before).

Capacity: Maximum of 18 balloons are permitted to fly simultaneously in the valley, as per Turkish Civil Aviation regulations, ensuring an intimate experience.

Altitude: Flights typically range from tree level to 900 meters (3,000 feet), offering both close-up views of the landscape and panoramic vistas.

Landing: The landing site varies based on wind direction, with a slightly faster descent in Soğanlı Valley compared to other areas (not recommended for young children).

Hotel Transfers: Complimentary pick-up and drop-off from all hotels in the Cappadocia region (Göreme, Ürgüp, Avanos, etc.) in air-conditioned vehicles. Note: Pick-up times are earlier due to the 45 km distance to Soğanlı Valley.

Flight Experience: A serene balloon ride guided by licensed, experienced pilots with expert knowledge of the region.

Onboard Photography: Cameras onboard capture your adventure, with photos available for purchase.

Personal Expenses: Any souvenirs, gifts, or additional snacks/drinks purchased before, during, or after the flight are at your own cost.

Professional Photography/Video: While onboard cameras capture the experience (photos available for purchase), personal photography services, drone footage, or professional video recordings are not provided. Bringing your own small camera or phone is allowed, but at your own risk.

Gratuities: Tips for the pilot, ground crew, or driver are not included and are optional, based on your satisfaction with the service (typically 5-10% of the flight cost is customary if you choose to tip).

Travel Insurance: The package does not cover travel or health insurance. We recommend purchasing your own coverage for peace of mind in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Extra Transportation: Pick-up and drop-off are included only from hotels within the Cappadocia region (e.g., Göreme, Ürgüp, Avanos). Transfers from outside this area (e.g., Kayseri city or Nevşehir) incur an additional fee and must be arranged separately.

Accommodation: The price covers the balloon flight and transfers only—hotel stays before or after the flight are not included and should be booked independently.

Special Requests: Customized experiences (e.g., private flights, proposals, or celebrations) are not part of the standard package and require separate booking and additional fees.

Meals Beyond Breakfast: The light pre-flight breakfast is provided, but lunch, dinner, or other meals are not included in the package.

Pilot Expertise: Flights are operated by FAA-certified pilots with over 17 years of experience and thousands of flight hours.

Weather Dependency: Flights occur daily, year-round, weather permitting. The Turkish Civil Aviation Authority approves flights based on stable wind conditions, typically best just after sunrise.

Cancellation Protocol: If canceled due to weather, choose a full refund or reschedule for the next available morning (subject to availability).
