The exact landing spot is determined by the wind and chosen by the pilot closer to the end of the flight—a suitable field of sufficient size is needed. The landing itself is usually gentle: the basket touches the ground and comes to a smooth stop. In stronger winds, there may be a brief contact with a slight tilt—at this moment, you should hold onto the handles and follow the pilot’s instructions, which you’ll receive before the flight. After landing, the crew packs up the balloon, and all guests are driven back to the meeting point.
