Hi SystemFan,
Congrats on your win.
I'm a pilot and I just wanted to re-iterate what one of the other posters said.
Ballooning is VERY weather depependent so don't be surprised if it's cancelled a number of times before you eventually get to go.
It's dependent on the wind strength but also the direction
i.e. if the wind is in the direction of the sea/aiport/big city and there is not a suitable launch site for that direction then they may not be able to go.
Allow about 4 hours for the flight as you possibly have to travel to a launch site, the inflate it and then after landing it has to be packed away before your return.
If you have any questions then let me know and I'll try to answer.0 -
