Ballooning is a fair-weather sport. Our flights will be canceled if it is raining, if thunderstorms are near or if surface winds are greater than 8 mph.

The best time to fly is when the air is calm and stable. Typically, that's either at dawn, or a couple hours before sunset, when the sun is low on the horizon.

After deciding whether you'd like a morning or afternoon flight, call about a month prior to the time you'd like to try to fly, and we'll select a date and location.

Most of our flights are on the weekend. While it is possible to fly year-round, the ballooning season in Western New York is about mid-May through mid-October.

After deciding whether you'd like a morning or afternoon flight, call or email us and we'll select a mutually-agreeable date and location.
