Can I Go Hot Air Ballooning If I Am Pregnant or Have a Medical Condition?

Your safety is our top priority during every flight over Vilnius or Trakai.

We understand that many travelers may have questions about whether they can safely enjoy a hot air balloon ride if they’re pregnant or have an existing health condition. Here’s what you need to know:

Hot Air Ballooning During Pregnancy

For safety reasons, we do not recommend hot air balloon flights during any stage of pregnancy.
Although ballooning is a calm and peaceful experience, it still involves:

• Standing for long periods (typically 1–2 hours total)

• Slight physical movement during landing

• No seat belts or easy exits once airborne

Even minor turbulence or a bumpy landing can create unnecessary risk. Your well-being and your baby’s safety come first — we advise all pregnant guests to postpone their flight until after giving birth.

Flying With Medical Conditions

If you have a pre-existing medical condition, we strongly encourage you to:

• Consult your doctor before booking your hot air balloon ride

• Follow your physician’s advice about activity restrictions

• Inform our flight crew in advance about any relevant conditions

Conditions like heart disease, balance disorders, respiratory issues, or mobility limitations can affect your ability to stand for long periods or safely board and exit the balloon basket. Knowing about your situation in advance allows us to assist you better — or advise against flying if it's not safe.

Common Questions:

Can I fly if I’m in early pregnancy?

We recommend against it — even early-stage pregnancies are sensitive.

Is the pilot trained for emergencies?

Yes. Our experienced, licensed pilots are trained to handle in-air and ground emergencies, but we always focus on prevention first.

What should I disclose before the flight?

Any condition that affects your breathing, balance, circulation, or ability to stand/walk independently.
