Valid government-issued photo ID
Required from every passenger at check-in, at the Volando en Globo reception desk: it is what allows us to register you under the flight insurance that covers your flight. A passport is always accepted, as is official photo ID issued by your country. Minors do not need their own — a parent or legal guardian presents ID and signs for them.

Additional information
What time is pickup and where is the drop-off?
Pickup starts at 4:00 AM, at the point we agree on within a 4 km radius of the Ángel de la Independencia (your hotel or Airbnb). The return is exclusively to the Ángel de la Independencia — we do not drop off at hotels. If the Ángel is closed due to a march or traffic, the alternate drop-off point is the Monumento a la Revolución.

Is it safe? What if I’m afraid of heights?
We fly with pilots holding a current commercial licence from AFAC, the Mexican aviation authority. The basket is stable and the climb is gradual, so there is no falling sensation. If the wind makes it unsafe to fly, the flight is rescheduled at no cost.

What happens if the weather doesn’t allow us to fly?

Can kids / pregnant women / older adults fly?

Cannot fly: pregnant guests, anyone who drank alcohol in the previous 12 hours, and people with blood pressure problems, heart or respiratory conditions, recent surgery, or spine or knee problems. Maximum weight per passenger: 99 kg.

Can I choose the pilot or balloon?
Not directly — we assign by availability. If you have a preference or a special occasion, let us know when booking and we’ll do our best.

What ID do I need for the flight?
A valid government-issued photo ID, presented by every passenger at check-in at the Volando en Globo reception desk. It is not paperwork for its own sake: it is what allows us to register you under the flight insurance that covers the flight, and without proof of identity we cannot add you to it. If you are a foreign visitor, your passport or your country’s official ID works; the person who made the booking must present ID matching the name on their booking confirmation. Minors do not need their own ID — they must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, who presents ID and signs for them. Passengers who cannot present ID are not allowed to board, but they may reschedule, subject to availability and our date-change policy.
