      The Hot Air Balloon Tour is a very sought after activity, and it would be wise to get it booked in advance, as there may not be any spots left as the tour date gets closer.

      We can certainly arrange for you to make it in time for your flight back home on that day. There is a flight available that would allow you to be at Istanbul Airport (IST) at 10:25 AM, which should allow you plenty of time to make your connection.
