Every great moment in the air —
China Airlines is with you.

Up to four, in order of preference. Each date is judged separately. If you don’t win, your entry automatically carries into the later dates you chose, until the competition ends. Each ticket number can win only once.

Yes. Each balloon prize admits two: the winner and one companion nominated at the time of claiming. Both seats must be used together on the same flight and cannot be split or used on separate dates. Both passengers must meet the operator’s passenger requirements.

Balloon flights are booked under passengers’ real names, so we need the names of both the winner and the nominated companion to provide to the balloon operator.

Yes, at the time of entry. Membership at the time of ticket purchase is not required; simply join Dynasty Flyer before registering. It is free and takes about a minute. There is no residency requirement.

Yes. Eligibility rests on holding a China Airlines international ticket departing Australia — from Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne, or connecting through one of them from another Australian city. Please note the balloon departs Melbourne at sunrise on a fixed Tuesday and travel is at the winner’s own arrangement; we ask travellers to consider this before selecting dates.

Winners are published on the announcement date for each round and contacted by email; if we cannot reach a winner by email, we call to confirm. As the flight follows within days, winners must confirm acceptance and nominate their companion within 72 hours. The certificate is sent to the email address given at entry.

Yes. At verification the ticket must be flown or valid for travel. A refund during the competition or after winning that removes eligibility allows China Airlines to cancel the entry or prize; where the certificate has already been issued or used, the value of the balloon certificate, AUD 1,200, becomes payable. Refunds arising from a China Airlines schedule change or cancellation, or on documented medical or other grounds, are exempt.

The operator applies restrictions on minimum age, weight, pregnancy, mobility and footwear, which apply equally to the winner and companion. Passengers must be able to hold the landing position, knees bent and back against the basket. Please check before nominating a companion; see Conditions of use for the full rules.

Yes. Passengers holding a valid China Airlines booking reference save 15%, up to AUD 90 per person, on selected Global Ballooning flights over Melbourne City and the Yarra Valley with the code ChinaAirlines15. Book with Global Ballooning. The offer is provided by Global Ballooning, cannot be combined with other offers and is separate from this competition.

For the conditions of use of the balloon certificate, please refer to Global Ballooning Australia’s FAQs; some provisions may not apply.
