What Should I Wear For a Balloon Flight?

For your comfort, we recommend dressing as if you were going for a pleasant countryside stroll, taking into account the weather and the season. Think cosy layers and maybe a hat to keep your head protected from the warmth of the burners. Sensible shoes are a must, especially if we're walking in fields that might be a bit damp or muddy. We love it when passengers join in to help inflate and deflate the balloon – it makes things quicker for everyone! Just wear something you don't mind getting a tad dirty. Oh, and leave the fancy gear and high heels at home – we wouldn't want any mishaps!
