How to pick a good hot air balloon ride

Flights leave around sunrise, when the air is calmest. Expect a pickup one to two hours before dawn.
Balloon flights are often cancelled for wind or rain. Book early in your trip so there's time to rebook.
Time in the air is usually about an hour; the whole outing, with transfers, takes three to four.
Check basket size. Smaller baskets with 8 to 12 passengers feel very different from 20-person ones.
