But there's nothing simple about the company's quality or commitment to customer satisfaction. The two chief pilots, my friend Mr Halis Aydoğan, a founder of Cappadocia Voyager Balloons, and his associate Mr Hakan Zengin, have years of hot-air balloon piloting experience. Hakan Bey holds a Guinness World Record for paragliding, and holds a Paul Tissandier Diploma (2004) from the Fédération Internationale Aéronautique.
Lots of people in Cappadocia, and indeed all over Turkey, will offer to make hot-air balloon reservations for you. If the offer comes from a reputable, licensed travel agency, you're in good hands.
But all sorts of people, even guys who com up to you on the street, will offer to sell you a balloon flight. Accepting their offer is not a good idea.
But if you book an Atlas Balon flight online, you'll know what you're getting: highly experienced pilots; first-rate, well-maintained aircraft and equipment up to international standards; full insurance for passengers, aviation hull, and third parties. It's all on the Atlas Balon website.
When you make your reservation, be sure to mention TurkeyTravelPlanner.com. Here's why.
