Safety & Health Requirements
All passengers must be in good physical health, capable of climbing in and out of the basket. 

• Must be at least 48” tall and over the age of six.
  **Any passenger under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian in order to sign the boarding pass at the time of flight.
• Able to stand for at least one hour
• Capable of walking a distance of up to 2 city blocks at a leisurely pace.

Individuals with heart conditions, back or hip problems, weak knees or ankles, fainting spells, recent surgeries of any kind (within 6 months) or currently under the care of a physician, please provide us with this important information. Your pilot & crew need to know for your safety and flight arrangements. Anyone with doctor’s limitations should contact your physician. All passengers that are currently pregnant must delay booking until post delivery. We consider your safety first.

Clothing
Passengers should wear outdoor clothing that is comfortable for the particular season and the time of the flight.  Dress for being in fields (for landing) by wearing full shoes or boots and long pants. Please NO open toed shoes, high heels or shorts.  Morning flights may encounter dew or wet covered ground.  For winter and cool weather flying, we recommend wearing layers of clothes. Put on as many as needed to remain comfortable. You can always remove a layer or two.   It will not be noticeably colder in the balloon.  If temperatures are comfortable on the ground, you should be comfortable in the air.   For summer flights we suggest a hat or head covering.  During take off you usually feel radiant heat from the burner.

On Board Luggage
Bring hand held camera equipment. Due to limited space in the basket, we recommend handbags; back packs and camera bags remain on the ground. The baskets are designed to carry passengers, not luggage. 

Waiver/Boarding Pass
Ballooning, as in all other forms of transportation, does involve some risks.  We require all passengers comply with, and follow explicitly, the directions or instructions of Gentle Breeze pilots at all times.  Therefore, Gentle Breeze Hot Air Balloon Company LLC requires passengers to sign a "waiver/boarding pass" agreement AFTER a verbal pre-flight briefing and PRIOR to boarding the balloon.  A parent or guardian will have to sign for anyone under the age of 18.
