Tipping App for Hot Air Balloon Pilots & Crew

You fly at dawn, chase the balloon across counties, and pack a sky's worth of fabric. TipMe lets passengers tip the whole crew at the champagne toast.

Why TipMe

Why TipMe
for Hot Air Balloon Crews?

Balloon flights are bucket-list purchases paid online months ahead — passengers arrive at a dark field with no cash. TipMe gives pilots and chase crew personal QR codes for the landing celebration, when gratitude is at its peak.

Bucket-list flights, prepaid and cashless

Passengers spent hundreds online booking the flight and brought only a phone for photos. A QR code at the toast is how the crew tip actually happens.

The crew works before dawn and after landing

Inflation, chase, recovery, pack-up — passengers see the effort up close. TipMe lets them thank the whole crew, each code going to its own crew member.

The champagne toast is a built-in tipping moment

Every flight ends with a celebration and photos. A QR card next to the champagne turns the tradition into tips.
