Hola! I'm Angela. Here's what makes this hot air balloon ride different and more safe than others: - Pre-vetted, certified pilots Some companies contract with pilots who aren't certified. All of yours are certified! - Inspected balloons that pass every safety check. Some companies contract pilots who use old, unsafe balloons that don't pass safety inspections. This isn't normal but unfortunately accidents have happened and it's because of the negligence of the tour companies. - Round-trip transportation - Pickup and dropoffs at your Airbnb or hotel. Some companies don't include pickup at hotel/Airbnb, which wastes time in the morning and adds stress to you. - Flight duration is subject to weather conditions. We do in not fly in unsafe conditions.
