He’s asking about a hot air balloon ride with a company. He’s not asking about owning a hot air balloon.
Comment on If I sign up on a hot air balloon ride and there is bad weather can I get my money back?

If you aren’t ready to lose the money no matter what, perhaps it’s not the best way to spend your money. Hot air baloons are like boats, they’re for people who need a way to lose money when they have too much.

I know, my response remains unchanged.

According to Google a hot air balloon only costs $150-250. I’m not sure where you live, but in the US that seems completely reasonable to do for a unique experience from time to time.

That still doesn’t make any fairer. OP expects a service for their money. If there happens to be bad weather, it’s not right for the company “sorry, too windy, come again another time with more money”.
Also don’t gatekeep balloon rides, it’s not like you’re renting a private jet.

Not more money…just come back when weather permits flying a hot air balloon…

He doesn’t have to pay for another flight? Thought it was like water parks where your money just goes into the ether if it rains.

The comment of not getting money back but being allowed to reschedule to me implies they can reschedule and no additional money needs to be paid. If you cancel, you lose your money.
I could be wrong, but typically when a company tells me I can reschedule, I don’t need to pay again. Nothing is cancelled, just postponed.
