Terms & Booking Conditions

These are the terms that apply when you book one of our hot air balloon flights with Barcelona Hot Air Balloon. They're written in plain language on purpose. If anything here is unclear, get in touch before you book and we'll happily explain.

Making a Booking

You submit a booking request through the form on our site, with your preferred date, package and guest count, and we confirm it by email or WhatsApp. That confirmation is the agreement between you and us for that flight, so check the date, package and guest count carefully when you book, since your confirmation is based on what you send us.

No payment is taken automatically through the site itself. Payment is arranged directly with our team once your booking is confirmed. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle the information you submit.

Prices & Payment

All prices on this site are shown in euros (EUR): €249 per person for the Classic Flight, €299 per person for the Premium Flight, and €1,799 per couple for the VIP Deluxe Flight for 2. We confirm the total for your party before your booking is finalized, and payment itself is arranged directly with our team by email or WhatsApp rather than taken online.

Our Flight Packages

The launch site, flight length and sunrise timing are the same across all three packages. What changes is group size:

  • Classic Flight — a shared flight, up to 16 passengers.
  • Premium Flight — a small group, maximum 10 passengers.
  • VIP Deluxe Flight for 2 — a private flight, 2 passengers only.

See our flight packages for what's included in each.

Cancellations & Weather Changes

If your flight needs to move, whether because of weather or your own schedule, the details are covered in full on our separate Cancellation & Weather Policy page. That page governs any change to a confirmed booking, including refunds. Read it before you book if your travel dates are tight.

On-the-Day Conduct & Safety

Ballooning involves an open basket, a live flame and a full ground crew working around you, especially during inflation, boarding and landing. Guests are expected to follow the pilot's and ground crew's instructions at all times, particularly during those three stages. A pilot may ask a guest to sit out part of the experience if their behavior puts themselves or the group at risk.

Passenger Requirements

A few requirements apply to every flight, for safety:

  • Minimum height of 1.20m, so passengers can see over the basket comfortably.
  • Children from around 6 years old can fly if accompanied by an adult.
  • Pregnant passengers cannot fly, for safety reasons.

These requirements apply across the Classic, Premium and VIP Deluxe packages alike.

Weather Dependency

Flying depends on wind and visibility staying within safe limits, and that's outside anyone's control, ours included. We can't be held responsible for a flight affected by weather beyond what's already set out in our Cancellation & Weather Policy.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Spain, where our flights operate and where our team is based.

Watching the sun come up over Montserrat from a balloon basket is not something I'll forget anytime soon.

Our pilot explained everything before take-off and made two nervous first-timers feel completely at ease.

The drive out to the launch field in the dark builds so much anticipation, then the sky just opens up.

Did the VIP Deluxe Flight to propose and having the balloon to ourselves made the whole morning feel private.

Cava toast in a field at sunrise, still in my flight suit, is now my favorite travel memory from Barcelona.

First time in a hot air balloon and the Classic Flight was the perfect way to try it without overspending.

AAiko Tanaka1 week ago

Views of the Pyrenees on one side and Montserrat on the other, genuinely didn't expect both in one flight.

The whole crew let us help fold the balloon after landing, my kids thought that was the best part.

Premium Flight's small group made a real difference, never felt crowded in the basket at any point.

BBen Whitfield2 weeks ago

Pickup from Plaça Catalunya was right on time at 6am, half asleep but the drive out woke us up fast.

KKatarzyna Wozniak5 weeks ago

Flying silently over vineyards with just the burner sound now and then is oddly the most peaceful hour I've had.

MMarco Bellini1 month ago

Everything ran exactly on schedule, weather looked iffy the night before but our pilot called it perfectly.

JJasper van Dijk3 days ago

Got the flight certificate afterward and framed it, small detail but it made the morning feel official.

IIsabella Rossi2 months ago

The private VIP flight for two was worth every euro for our honeymoon morning, no other basket in sight.

EEmre Yildiz1 week ago

Montserrat's shape from the air is unlike anything you see from the ground, worth the early wake-up alone.

AAnya Petrova4 months ago

Coffee and croissants waiting for us at the launch field before sunrise was a welcome surprise on the Premium package.

CConnor Walsh3 weeks ago

Loved that they were upfront about how weather-dependent flights are, ours got rescheduled once with zero hassle.

45 minutes out of Barcelona and it feels like a completely different Catalonia, farmland as far as you can see.

Booking was simple, quick WhatsApp back and forth and our date was confirmed within the hour.

Photos from the Premium package arrived a few days later and captured the whole flight better than my phone could.

One hour in the air went by so fast, wished it could have kept going another twenty minutes at least.

MMei Lin3 weeks ago

Our pilot pointed out the medieval villages below as we drifted over, added so much to the flight.

OOscar Lindqvist2 months ago

Sunrise from a balloon basket makes every other sunrise I've seen look a bit ordinary now.

CCamille Dubois1 week ago

Went with the VIP option for our anniversary and the extra crew member filming meant we didn't have to hand our phone to a stranger.

NNadia Hassan4 months ago

Self-drove to the aerodrome instead of the transfer, free parking was easy and saved us the early pickup.

SSven Bakker2 weeks ago

My partner proposed just after we landed, cava glass still in hand, the crew somehow kept a straight face the whole time.

EElena Popescu5 months ago

Brought our teenagers along and even they put their phones down once the balloon actually lifted off.

AAhmed Karim1 month ago

Classic Flight felt just as complete as I expected, the extras on Premium are nice but not essential for a first flight.

RRafael Souza6 days ago

The safety briefing was thorough without dragging on, pilot clearly knew the aircraft and the weather that morning.

IIngrid Larsen6 weeks ago

Basket for the Premium Flight genuinely felt spacious with ten of us, room to move to whichever side had the view.

YYusuf Demir2 months ago

Distant Pyrenees peaks were still snow-capped in spring, added something I hadn't expected from a Barcelona-area flight.

CCharlotte Bennett4 weeks ago

Arrived a bit early and got to watch the whole balloon inflation process up close, more interesting than I expected.

HHiroshi Sato3 days ago

Booked two days before flying during our weekend trip and they still fit us onto that Saturday's flight.

VValentina Cruz5 months ago

The champagne celebration after our VIP flight felt genuinely special, not just a plastic cup and a quick toast.

PPiotr Kowalski2 weeks ago

Splurged on VIP for our honeymoon morning and having the whole basket to ourselves made it worth every cent.

AAmara Okafor1 month ago

They messaged the night before confirming the flight was on, took the guesswork out of an early alarm.

LLars Eriksson6 months ago

Farmland, vineyards, a handful of church towers below, nothing like the city view I was picturing beforehand.

SSofia Andersen5 weeks ago

Our group of four booked Premium and the guide let us take extra time for photos once we'd landed.

KKarim Benali2 months ago

Straightforward pricing, no surprise add-ons at the field, what we booked online matched exactly what we got.

PPetra Novak1 week ago

Rescheduled us free of charge when wind picked up overnight, then the flight two days later had perfectly still air.

DDaniel Osei3 months ago

Gourmet snacks after our VIP landing were an unexpectedly good touch, local cheese and cava done properly.
