Itinerary
Day 1
Balloons over Bagan's flights take place mostly early in the morning, at sunrise, or in the afternoon before sunset (on request for groups). Light winds and stable weather conditions are needed, the speed of the balloon and the length of the flight are governed by the strength and velocity of the wind.
Under normal conditions flights last around 45 minutes but the entire experience lasts about two and a half hours as you will witness the inflating of the balloons and receive a thorough technical and security briefing + transfers to and from departure/landing spot. The balloons can carry from 8 to 12 passengers on each flight. On landing, a fully trained ground crew is on hand to pack the balloon while passengers enjoy a glass or two of sparkling wine
The balloons and equipment have been supplied new to Balloons over Bagan by Cameron Balloons of the UK, the world's largest and finest balloon manufacturer. The balloons are custom made to the highest standards of the British aerospace industry. Pilots are mostly British and have thousands of flight hours not only in Bagan but all over the world. They follow strict flight regulations regarding the maximum hours of flight allowed.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
