Hot Air Balloon Index
Hot air balloons drifting over Cappadocia's eroded valleys in golden sunrise light.

Hot-air balloon flights, compared by seller and by site

Fifteen flights across six launch sites, each read from the seller's own page on a dated day, plus the column nobody else publishes: how often the dawn weather actually allows a launch.

How we check

A dated, per-operator balloon comparison already exists in English, and it is good. What it does not have is a figure for how often a flight can go ahead at all, which is the question that decides whether you book your one free morning in Cappadocia or keep it for the museum. That figure is the reason this site exists, and it is on the flight-odds page for Cappadocia, Teotihuacán and Luxor.

The price side is deliberately small. A flight is listed when its price was readable from the page selling it, with the currency stated. Eleven Cappadocia operators and six in Mexico and Spain publish prices only as pictures or as unmarked text, so they are not here, and the pages that would have held them say so rather than filling up with a transcription.

15 flights across Cappadocia, Teotihuacán, Segovia, Luxor, Marrakech and Dubai, each row carrying the URL it was read from and the date.

33 modelled flight-odds figures, from ten years of dawn observations at a named weather station, with the distance from the launch site on every row.

No affiliate programme is live yet, so every link in a table goes to the page the row was read from.
