Do I pay on the spot when I book a hot air balloon online ?

I ordered online and the money was deducted directly from my credit card. If I don't fly, it will be refunded.

We booked the hotel directly and gave 200 euros to the hotel owner.

"Hotel booked for 180 euros, paid directly to the landlord in cash."

All payments are made on-site, it seems like Taobao is paid to the Taobao merchants at the time of purchase. If the flight is not successful, it can be refunded, but you need to ask for details. If you book on the hot air balloon official website, you need to provide a credit card, and then pay on the day of the flight. We booked on the Butterfly official website, and if you cancel 48 hours in advance, there will be no charge, just a deposit.
