When do the balloons launch?
Balloon flights in Cappadocia launch around sunrise, while the air is calm. Each morning’s window is set by the operators under the rules of Turkey’s civil aviation authority (SHGM), so this page does not give a pickup time: your operator confirms it with your booking.
SkyPlan puts your balloon morning, or a sunrise viewpoint if you would rather watch, on the right morning and plans the rest of the day around the sun.
