What to Wear on a Hot Air Balloon Flight

Dressing smart for your flight keeps you comfortable and camera-ready from pick-up to landing. Mornings are cool, it's breezy at altitude, and you'll want your hands free for photos. Here's exactly what to pack.

Dress in Layers

Temperatures at dawn can be 10°C cooler than midday, and there's a light breeze at altitude. Wear a t-shirt, a light sweater and a windproof jacket you can remove as the sun rises and warms the basket.

Footwear & Accessories

  • Closed, flat shoes or trainers — never heels or open sandals.
  • A hat that won't blow away and a small scarf.
  • Sunglasses and sunscreen for the rising sun.

What to Leave Behind

Skip loose hats, flowing dresses and bulky bags. Keep your phone and camera on a strap so your hands stay free for the gentle landing.

Pro Tip: Wear darker colours if you want your sunrise photos to pop — bright white can reflect the soft morning light.
