What Happens When Marrakech Balloon Flights Are Cancelled by Weather?

Weather cancellations are part of ballooning everywhere. The difference between a ruined morning and a minor inconvenience is almost entirely about how you planned the trip.

When the call is made

Usually the evening before for an obvious weather system, and otherwise at the field at dawn once the pilot has assessed the actual surface wind. Occasionally the balloon inflates and the flight is still stood down; that judgement belongs to the pilot.

Your options after a cancellation

  • • Fly on a later morning during your stay — the best outcome where possible
  • • Move to an alternative experience such as a tandem paragliding flight
  • • Refund, according to the operator's confirmed terms

How to protect your trip

Book the balloon for the first available morning of your stay, not the last. Keep a second morning free. Avoid scheduling a flight for the morning of your outbound flight home.

Our refund position

Exact reschedule and refund terms are being confirmed with the operator and will be published here in full once they are. We will not summarise terms we cannot yet guarantee.
