Ballooning - SIGHTSEEING FLIGHTS

A hot-air balloon flight

We operate throughout the year but are only able to fly in favourable weather. We require it to be dry, the visibility to be least 5 km and  the wind to be less than 5 m/sec. Morning - launch takes place no later than 2 hours after sunrise. Evening -  launch takes place in the last 2 hours before sunset. We aim to fly for roughly one hour following preparations of about 30 minutes. Whilst there is no age limit, children must be accompanied by an adult.

Flying Area

Flying is takes place mainly in the vicinity of the picturesque Konopiste castle which is situated 40 km south of Prague. To get there from Prague, take highway D1 and then the E 55, south to Č. Budějovice. If the balloon is booked for a single group then a selection of other possible launch sites, which may be more convenient, are available. Please discuss this when booking.

Price:

5.200,- CZK per person for the flight with other people or CZK 14.000 for private flight for 2 pax.

The price includes :

insurance of passengers and their personal belongings
transfer  from your hotel in Prague and back
flight certificate inscribed with the passenger`s name and signed by the pilot
brunch with champagne
tickets are valid for one year

Additional information:

We drift along with a wind. This varies in strength and changes direction at different heights although we rarely exceed 500m. The basket is completely steady and provides a wonderful platform for taking photographs. The pilot adjusts the height of the balloon by changing the temperature of the air inside it. Regular blasts from the powerful propane burner heat this air. Burn more often and you go up, less frequently and you come down. Simple! After landing and a christening with champagne, our chase vehicle will take you back to the launch field.

The balloonflight could also be a great surprise-present for someone you love or someone with addiction for flying. It could be even a wedding flight and the beginning of a honeymoon! The tours with our licensed pilots are absolutely safe and the actual lift-off and landing feels more like a ride in a luxurious elevator. There is no age-limit, however, children must be accompanied by their parents.
