A private basket for 2 to 8 guests: just your group, a longer flight, an alcohol-free celebration and a private breakfast table.
Some mornings aren't meant to be shared with a crowd. An anniversary, an engagement, a first trip that took years to arrive, or just a Monday with a few people you love: those are mornings when you want the whole balloon, the whole basket, to yourselves.
Deluxe is a private basket for 2 to 8 guests, reserved for your group alone. Flight time is about 75 minutes, weather permitting. The celebration and breakfast afterwards are set up just for you. A licensed balloon operator runs the flight; we organise the booking and every detail of the morning.
No other group, no other language, no rush for the best photo spot. Nobody queues for a place at the edge; you move around the basket as you like and take each other's pictures. The pilot can shape part of the flight around you: lower or higher, more valley or more horizon? Safety and wind always have the last word, but if you tell us in advance on WhatsApp, we'll pass your wishes on to the pilot. Commands are given in English, just a few simple phrases. A small basket is quieter than a crowded one, and you hear your own voices, your own laughter and the silence between the burners far more clearly.
To keep the morning smooth, just add a few lines to your booking note:
The earlier we know, the more calmly the pilot and ground crew can prepare.
The celebration here is alcohol-free: a sparkling drink and the clink of glasses. If there is something to mark, such as a birthday, an anniversary or a proposal, put it in your booking note and we'll plan it with you. After landing you don't join the others; breakfast is served at a table set aside for your group. Cheese, olives, honey and fresh bread: a local breakfast, quiet and unhurried. Standing on solid ground, holding something hot, looking at the valley's morning face again: for many guests this is as memorable as the flight itself. The table is set for one group only, so nobody hurries you and nobody waits for you.
In a private basket a small oversight will not ruin the morning, but it can dull it. The mistakes we see most often:
Couples, honeymooners and anniversary trips, three-generation families, people hosting business friends, photographers, and anyone who wants a calm flight. Guests travelling with older parents like it too: few people, an unhurried boarding and a landing where nobody rushes you, though the physical fitness needed to climb in still applies. At least 2 guests are needed, and for groups above 8 please write to us. Children aged 6 to 12 fly at the child price; under 6 cannot fly. We don't recommend the flight for pregnant women or anyone with serious back or neck problems. Boarding is as on the other flights: a wall about a metre high, a step up and a leg over.
Pick-up is 75 to 90 minutes before take-off, which is roughly 03:30 to 05:45 depending on the season. At the launch field tea and coffee are ready; you watch the balloon inflate, get a briefing, and fly. How high you go and which valleys you drop into depends on that morning's wind. If the weather isn't suitable the operator cancels the flight, and you can move to the next morning free of charge or take a full refund.
Wind and visibility forecast; the pilots make the final call on flying.
Only your group is collected. This sample timeline fits spring and autumn; earlier in summer, later in winter.
Warm drinks while you talk through any special wishes with your pilot. The ground crew prepares the balloon.
The envelope is inflated with fans and heated by the burners. Safety briefing and the landing position are explained.
About 75 minutes in the air with only your group. Where wind permits you drop into the valleys, then climb for the horizon.
The pilot lands in an open field or onto a trailer. Stay in the basket until the pilot gives the sign.
A toast with a sparkling drink. If you have something to mark, the crew will have prepared it; the pilot signs your certificates.
Cheese, olives, honey, fresh bread and hot drinks at a table set aside for your group, with no rush.
Your vehicle drops you back at the hotel. The rest of the day is yours.
Layers, closed flat shoes, ID. If you have a small note or decoration in mind for the celebration, tell us in advance. Add any requests for the pilot to your booking note.
No payment is taken when you send a booking request; you pay on the day, in cash (EUR, USD, TRY) or by card. Requests are usually confirmed within 1–2 hours and always within 24 hours. The price is per person and a basket is reserved for at least 2 guests. A licensed balloon operator runs the flight. Put special wishes (birthday, anniversary, proposal) in your booking note; they are passed to the pilot and carried out as far as safety and wind allow. The toast is alcohol-free. Children under 6 cannot fly; we do not recommend the flight for pregnant women or anyone with serious back or neck problems. The flight is cancelled if weather is unsuitable.
Hotel pick-up about 2 hours before sunrise (roughly 03:30–05:45, by season). Pick-up and drop-off are free. We send your pick-up time on WhatsApp the evening before. The basket pilot gives commands in English.

No. The celebration is alcohol-free, with a sparkling drink and a toast. If there is a birthday or anniversary to mark, tell us in your booking note and we'll plan it together.
As far as safety and wind allow. A balloon has no rudder, so the route depends on the wind, but we pass on preferences like flying low or high.
A Deluxe private basket needs at least 2 guests. If you're travelling alone, the Standard or Comfort flight suits you better.
You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the tour. If the flight is cancelled for weather or operational reasons, you can move to the next morning free of charge or take a full refund. No-shows are not refunded.
