Thank you very much for your Reviews. Unfortunately, there was a fire ban in the canton of Zurich, which also meant a ban on hot-air balloon flights. Therefore, after consulting with you, the flight was moved to the canton of Lucerne. We’re glad, however, that you still enjoyed the flight. Your Flightbase Team

Dieter and Stefan did a great job—thank you very much. They explained every step, worked efficiently, and had a great sense of humor. The pilot, Dieter, was very professional and courteous, and took the time to answer our questions. Beautiful route, perfect weather—we’d love to do it again.
