Q: I had already booked my ticket for hot air balloon flight. After that, I heard there is a weight limit for air balloon flights and a passenger cannot weigh more than 200 pounds (90 kg). My weight exceeds this a little bit, I weigh 220 pounds. I want to find out how strict is their policy, is that 20 pounds significant (taking into account also that I had bought my tickets)?

A: Actually, it depends on the weight and number of other people in the group. There are provided just 1 or 2 places in every balloon for those travelers who weigh more than 90 kg / 200 pounds. That is why you have to inform the staff about your conditions in advance. If the balloon is not full or there are no other weighty travelers, you can join to the hot air balloon flight.

If you ordered a Private Fight and you know the people with whom you will fly with, you can judge the situation. If you booked your ticket for a Standard Fight you should call one of the information offices in Barcelona in order to get the necessary information.

Unfortunately, now it is summer and high season have already started therefore chances to find a balloon which is not full are very small (for additional information – Summer Vacation in Barcelona).
