The weather conditions are not the best at the moment- we got back last week. Please book 2 days in Cappadocia so you have another day to try for the balloon.Royal balloon is great because they will automatically slot you in for the next day if you can’t fly the first day. Many other companies will make you rebook and will charge you exorbitant prices.” @packed.sa
SUMMARY:
It is better and more reliable to book through your hotel. If you book in advance make sure that your booking is flexible so that you can reschedule it if the weather conditions are not favourable on the day you booked for.
