BALLOON CAPACITY: Typical balloons are limited to just around 12 – 16 passengers. There are also more expensive options available to ride with slightly less people.
THE PILOTS: Most, if not all, of the pilots in Myanmar are Westerners. This is likely one of the reasons for the high price. Fortunately, you can rest assured that you’re going to fly with a professionally trained, properly licensed pilot.
WHEN TO FLY: The balloon season only lasts from the beginning of October to the end of March. If you’re interested in hot air ballooning over Bagan, be sure to visit Myanmar during one of these months!
