Air travel is by far the safest way to get around, and it’s not just about flying. For example, an emergency in a balloon, in the worst case, can only bring you a few fractures (unless it is about capsizing the basket, which is almost impossible). Therefore, if you want to please your soulmate or just admire the unusual beauties of the landscape from a bird’s eye view, you should try hot air balloons.
Finding a place to launch a balloon in Russia is not a problem, in most large cities there are companies that provide this service, you just need to search the Internet. Each region (and even the city) will have its own price tags, but often an individual flight will cost from 12 thousand rubles. A group flight for four passengers will be much cheaper, where each will have to pay 5-7 thousand rubles. It should be understood that the cost of a balloon flight depends not only on the location of the “base”, but also on weather conditions. Therefore, it is better to discuss the final cost of the flight and all the nuances with payment in advance.
You can also pay extra for an unusual shape of a balloon (for example, a heart), for video and photo shooting (some companies take professional photos from a quadcopter), for a bottle of good champagne, for decorations for a basket or to fly along a non-standard route.
The only problem that can arise on the day of the flight is bad weather. You will not be able to take to the skies in high winds, thunderstorms or poor visibility due to safety restrictions. And it is unlikely that you yourself will want to fly during rain or fog. Usually, if the flight is impossible, you will be informed about this a few days in advance and return the money or transfer the air trek to another day.
Flights in summer are usually made in the morning or in the afternoon, due to the high air temperature. Therefore, if you want to fly at noon, it is better to do it in winter. Also, when choosing a company that organizes a flight, you should ask about the place of takeoff, since the maximum height of the ascent depends on its location. So, in the vicinity of cities, it can only climb 450 m, and in more remote places – several kilometers.
As mentioned above, there are companies that launch balloons in every major city. Therefore, I will not recommend any one in particular, choose yourself based on the available budget. The only thing worth clarifying is that flights from places outside the city are usually cheaper.
