Dear Lauren & David,

What a great day I had for my 80th birthday. All my family and friends enjoyed it so very much. It was wonderful that you could give all the grand-children rides.

Thank you,
Mae

The Hot Air Balloon Experience With Gypsy Flights

Join us in a unique adventure. Climb aboard our magical hot-air balloon and drift gently over rolling hills while you serenely watch the world pass by beneath you. Hot-air balloon flights are full of excitement, beauty, and tranquility. It is an unforgettable adventure from inflation to landing. We may soar to an altitude of 5,000 feet to enjoy the panoramic view of the deserts and mountains of Southern California or skim the treetops floating along with the contour of the rolling hills and valleys. It depends on your wishes and the current weather conditions. You sail effortlessly through the sky riding the gentle breezes and waving at earthbound spectators or just observing the scenery and wildlife beneath you. See "The Science of Hot-Air Ballooning.

Morning flights begin at dawn. Afternoon flights begin two hours before sunset. If you wish, you can join in the excitement of helping the crew inflate and launch the balloon. Arrangements may be made for non-flying guests to ride with the crew and enjoy "chasing" the balloon from the ground.

A traditional post flight ceremony is part of the experience. Once we have landed, passengers celebrate with a traditional champagne ceremony that balloonists all over the world have been sharing for 200 years. Gourmet hors d'oeuvres, champagne, (or sparkling cider), and other refreshments and goodies are served along with a few ballooning stories from your pilot and crew. To commemorate your special occasion, Flight Certificates are presented to the new aeronauts. Digital pictures will be taken during the flight and can be e-mailed to you.

Our private balloon flights are a unique experience and a personalized adventure designed for you and your guests. Flights last 60-90 minutes depending on conditions. Your entire adventure will last approximately three hours, from arrival at the launch site to the post-flight celebration. (Ballooning is a weather-dependent activity. Launch and landing decisions are made at the discretion of the pilot.) Weddings, birthdays, proposals, anniversaries and family reunions are our special passion. Pop the question while floating over Temecula’s romantic vineyards. Or have the family all fly with the birthday guy or gal. We can make your special day a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
