Q: Is Ballooning really safe? 

A: Yes!, Ballooning is very safe.  The speeds involved are low.  Our equipment is "state of the art" and deliberately over designed and our FAA licensed pilots undergo regular recurrent training at competitions and safety seminars.

Q: What about your company's safety record?

A: We have a perfect safety record.  For over 14 years, no passenger has ever been injured in our balloon operations.  We aim to keep it that way!

Q: What if we encounter bad weather in flight?

A: The short answer is "We don't!"
We call Flight Service for a personalized, up to the minute, pilot weather briefing prior to every flight.  In addition we have at our disposal numerous computerized weather services and radar maps that we follow daily. We are very conservative about choosing when and when not to fly passengers. 

Q: What if we purchased an advance ticket and our flight date gets cancelled? 

A: We will simply reschedule you to our next available date of your choosing.  (In the case of rescheduling conflicts, the person who bought the ticket earliest will be given preference over new sales.)  If you or your gift recipient change your minds about flying the tickets may be sold or transferred anytime before the flight date.

Q: If I don't know exactly when I want to fly should I wait?

A: If you want to fly, there is no reason to wait.  Lock it in now.  The price will only go up and as we approach seasonal peaks, space availability will go down.  Simply call us as soon as you know your intended date. 

Q: How do I know your company will be around next year?

A: The Officers and Shareholders of Adventure Balloon, Inc. have been operating successful family businesses in Connecticut for over 20 years.  Our ballooning company, Adventure Balloon has been in operation since 1990.  In every year of our existence we have grown and we plan to continue this growth.  We are very firmly rooted here in Connecticut.
