Hot air balloons cannot be steered in the conventional way, but follow the wind’s direction and speed, while the pilot skillfully controls the balloon’s altitude by managing the temperature inside the balloon envelope.
How far you fly therefore depends on the wind conditions on that particular day, as well as how long it takes the pilot to find a suitable landing site.
You can fly anywhere from a very short distance up to 35 kilometers, but normally the trip will be somewhere between 10 and 20 km.
