The honest hot-air balloon guide for Cappadocia
When flights actually take off, how to pick a slot, and what to do if the weather cancels.
Do balloons fly every day?
No. Flights are weather-dependent and the civil aviation authority can ground all balloons on windy or foggy mornings.
Book the first morning of your trip so you have backup days if the weather cancels.
Which time slot is best?
The first slot at first light usually means calmer winds and fewer balloons in your photos.
