Why book your Hot Air Balloon flight with us?

Experience

  • Not Just Hot Air! has been providing people with a first class champagne hot air balloon flight adventure in the Toronto and surrounding GTA areas since 2001. We are Toronto's only locally owned and operated hot air balloon company.
  • Our chief pilot, Ernie Lee, has over thirty years experience flying balloons of all sizes. from 105,000 cubic foot sport balloons to massive 415,000 cubic foot 30 passenger ride balloons, throughout Canada, the United States and Europe!
  • Your ground crew for the flight are carefully selected and trained in all aspects of ballooning. Each member of our ground crew has over ten years experience handling balloons and chasing balloon flights!

Convenience

  • We now offer passenger pick-up at the York Mills subway stop in addition to our regular meeting place at highway 400 & highway 7 at the Dave & Buster's parking lot.
  • If you live outside of the GTA we often can make arrangements to meet you closer to where your flight will take place to save you the trouble of driving into the GTA or Toronto.

Flexibility

  • Our prices are good for flights any day we fly for either sunrise or sunset flights. You don't have to pay more just to be able to fly on a weekend! (However you do need to book early as flight dates are on a first come first served basis and flight availability is limited!) so please book early to avoid disappointment.
  • We do not charge you anything until you actually get your flight. Book your flight reservation with us with confidence - please see our "Flight Guarantee" and pricing page for complete details.)

I would like to book a flight, but...

I am afraid of heights

Lots of people are "afraid" of heights - even some balloon pilots! So how can they be afraid of heights and still fly a balloon?

In a hot air balloon, because you are not "attached" to the ground the way you are when you are standing on a ladder or a balcony or a roof, you do not experience the sense of "vertigo" you may get otherwise due to the lack of "perspective". Because you are usually looking out towards the horizon when in a balloon, you have less of a sense of the "height" at which the balloon is traveling. It is much like riding in an airplane - the scenery is just passing by the window!

In addition, as the balloon travels at the speed and direction of the wind, there is no turbulence to make the basket sway or rock!

Over the years we have been flying passengers, all those who professed having a fear of heights prior to the flight indicated without exception at the end of the flight that they did not feel at all afraid in the balloon - even when flying at 1500 feet!

It seems expensive ...

While the price may seem expensive for a 1 hour flight, it is the adventure of a lifetime for most people.

Like any other business, ours has significant costs for equipment - a four passenger balloon can cost up to $45,000 (larger balloons can easily cost 2 and 3 times as much) and usually is flown for only about 300 hours before it will be "rebuilt" to ensure the highest standards of safety;  then there are costs for support equipment like inflator fans (as much as $2,500); radios ($1,000); a chase vehicle and trailer for the balloon ($25,000, $7,500); and then there are the salaries for pilots, ground crew and office staff! (we haven't even gotten into champagne, office equipment, telephones, computers etc. etc. etc..!) And to top it off, our business is very weather dependant!

While it is not the most lucrative venture, we do it because we love the flying and the adventure. Every flight is different and you get to meet many interesting people, both passengers, land owners and the many people who come out to watch the balloon take off and land.

I'm still unsure ...

Then let us convince you that you will have one of the most exciting experiences of your life!
