Hot air balloon ride operators fly small groups of passengers at sunrise or sunset, over countryside, vineyards and famous sights. Many flights are bought as gift vouchers for birthdays and anniversaries, and many are moved because of the wind or rain, sometimes more than once. Passengers often add photos, a toast after landing or a private basket for a proposal. A payments app that sells vouchers and takes bookings by link, keeps a clear record through date changes and takes payment for extras can win these operators, and every passenger who pays sees your app.

Sell vouchers and bookings by payment link
A payment link for a gift voucher or a flight gets money in at once, and a clear record of who has paid makes rebooking after bad weather simple.
