1.00Extra charge "fat tax" I am writing to express my significant disappointment regarding an additional $25 surcharge I was issued during my recent flight. The charge was applied because my individual weight exceeds 225 lbs. I find this policy to be both inconsistent and discriminatory for the following reasons: * Total Weight Capacity: Your safety guidelines state that the total weight limit for two people is 450 lbs. As a party of two, our combined weight is well under this 450 lb limit. * Arbitrary Individual Limits: Charging an individual based on their specific weight when the total load is within the "two-person" safety standard feels less like a safety requirement and more like a "fat tax." * Customer Experience: Being singled out and charged extra for my body type, despite meeting the collective weight requirements, is humiliating and poor business practice. I would like a refund of this $25 surcharge. I believe your pricing should be based on the total weight impact on the balloon's capacity rather than penalizing individuals who fall within the aggregate safety limits. Janet was the person demanding my 25 dallors making it clear im fat .in front of 30 other customers. Not cool my girlfriend was surprised as well I was embarrassed. I
Wonderful Experience

5.00We enjoyed the experience and this was for My Wife's Birthday. Brent was a Great Pilot and we had a Wonderful time.
Ride canceled due to last minute weather change that would’ve made it not safe.

5.00Me and the wife were scheduled to take flight on Mon morning Feb 16th. I’m only giving 5 stars based on the friendly staff, prompt refund and most importantly putting our safety over their wallets. will be going back to hopefully have a successful trip next time when we are in the area.
Highly, highly recommend this company!

5.00Denni was a fantastic pilot! Very knowledgable about the Temecula Valley and hot air balloons in general. He accompanied our ride by sharing fun facts about the history of the area, wine making, hot air baloon travel, and many other things while also telling some very fun stories from his time as a pilot. Everything was very safe and logistically smooth and we got over an hour of airtime!
Everything was fine,...

4.00Everything was fine, except for the distribution of the people in the balloon, I went with my wife to celebrate her birthday and they left us in separate parts of the balloon... they don't tell you that before making the booking.
