How does a balloon fly and how cold is during the ride?
A balloon flies with hot air and we always go back to it, what it means that we fly with it and we don’t notice it, and that’s the reason because in the balloon nearly never is cold.
Is it safe to fly in a balloon?
Truly talking, the most dangerous thing that can happen to you in the excursion is during the way on your own car coming to us. On the other hand, there are some statistics who says that to fly in a balloon is safeties than to fly in a plane or even to go in a lift.
What is better, to fly in the morning or in the afternoon?
Both flights are good. But, for sure, the flights in the morning are more pleasant, they have a better visibility, the route is longer and there is less risk for the passengers. The flights in the afternoon are fussier, and in fact, Mallorca is one of the few places in Spain where you can fly in the afternoons.
How many balloons are there? And, do we fly all together?
At that time we have a fleet of 7 balloons, even so and in our eager to renovate and to keep the fleet in the best conditions, in the year 2012 we will have 3 new balloons and 2 will be discharged.
Can I fly alone with my partner?
Of course. We offer exclusive flights since 1989 and we have a large diversity of them. They are like “ flights à la carte “.and you can come alone with your family chartering the balloon just for you. Besides these balloons we always put fewer passengers than they actually could carry. You never have to have the feeling on these flights that you can not move.
How many passengers can fit in the basket?
We have different sized balloons, balloons for 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and even one for 15 people, but Mallorca balloons as a rule, never ever take a basket full to allow passengers more comfort.
How is the staff of Mallorca Balloons?
Sincere, cheerful and polite, would be words that define them. We always bet on human quality, dealing to the passenger with cordiality. In addition they are all permanent staff for years, super experienced and routinely performed with courses each month about safety at the globodromo, regardless of each day are at the airfield.
