Normally we do fly every day weather permitting. We don't fly in stormy weather or rain. About an hour or so before flight time, we do a weather check to get the information we need to plan the flight. We'll give you a call soon afterwards and let you know for that final “weather confirmation”.

While hot air balloons are scheduled to fly 365 days a year in Cappadocia, they do not go up every day due to strict safety regulations governed by the Turkish Civil Aviation Authority. Flights are entirely dependent on wind speed and visibility; if the wind exceeds 11 km/h or if there is heavy rain or fog, all flights are grounded. Statistically, balloons fly about 250 to 280 days per year. The "Dry Season" (April to October) offers the most consistent flight conditions, while the winter months (December to March) see more frequent cancellations due to snow and high winds. Because of this unpredictability, travelers are strongly advised to book their balloon flight for their first morning in Cappadocia; if the flight is canceled, you will be automatically moved to the next available day. If you cannot fly during your stay, you will receive a full refund, but the disappointment of a weather-grounding is a common reality that travelers should mentally prepare for.
