Gift Certificates!!! (private for 2): A balloon flight is an excellent gift idea and will provide memories that will last a lifetime! You can purchase a gift certificate online and we will send your gift certificate package out shortly after receiving your payment. Gift Certificates are redeemable for any of our standard flights in the Phoenix area. Gift certificates expire 1 year after date of issue. (Gift Certificates are non-refundable, but are transferable).
Although we specialize in private flights for 2 people, we can sometimes accommodate small groups. Our group rates are as follows:
Group flights are exclusive for your group only and are scheduled based on availability of balloons and pilots. Please call our office at (480) 807-0001 to inquire about scheduling a group flight for 3 or more people. Thanks!
We accept cash and credit card 
payments only. All flights are pre-paid.
Cancellation policy:
We require a minimum of 48 hours (from the scheduled meeting time) if a cancellation is necessary for a full refund. This is so we can schedule other passengers in your place. Absolutely no refund of flight rate for cancellations made less than 48 hours or for a no show at the scheduled meeting time the day of the flight. Full refund is available for flights canceled by Roping The Wind Hot Air Balloon Company due to inclement weather, etc. if rescheduling is not an option. Gift Certificate flights not canceled within the cancellation policy will forfeit the use of the gift certificate and it will be considered flown.
Please understand, we are a small company that offers very personalized service. We typically put up only one balloon per available flight slot. If there is a last minute cancellation or a no show the morning of the flight, we are left ‘grounded’ with no ability to put other passengers in place and we lose that flight. While we fly because we love to fly, this is also how your pilot makes his living!
