BALLOON CHASER
The flights worth the early alarm.
The 15 hot air balloon rides travellers book most, from the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia at sunrise to the Valley of the Kings above Luxor, the Teotihuacan pyramids outside Mexico City and the Atlas foothills past Marrakech. Dawn lift-offs, vineyard drifts and pyramid flights, every sky in one place.
