Why does this page have no prices?
Because we have not collected them. The site is published as a plan so the shape of the dataset can be reviewed before any figure appears. Every page is noindex until its rows exist.
When the wind wins: every operator’s cancellation and refund rule, in full
Balloons are cancelled often, and the rule that applies is usually the storefront’s rather than the pilot’s. This page will quote every one of them.
No policy has been transcribed yet.
Each row will say whether the rule belongs to the balloon operator or to the storefront that sold the seat.
A scrubbed flight has three possible endings: a refund, a rebooking on a later morning, or a voucher you cannot use because you fly home tomorrow. Which one you get is written in the terms of whoever took your money, and that is often a reseller rather than the company that owns the balloon.
This page will quote each rule in full, say whose rule it is, and record how long you have to claim it.

Questions
What should I look for before booking?
Whether a weather cancellation is a cash refund or a rebooking, and how many days you have to use a rebooking. On a short trip those two answers decide whether the booking is worth making at all.
Do you earn money from the links?
We may, once a programme is live. No booking link on this site is live today, and no programme we join changes which operators are listed or how they are ordered.
