How do you get where you want to go in a hot air balloon? (Aren’t you at the mercy of the wind).

Question

The classic hot air balloon with the round balloon and gas burner thing. It’s easy to see how it goes up or down, but how do people go where they want to – or get back!

Yeah in my experiance they wait for the right conditions to go in roughly the right direction and have multiple landing spaces in an arc depending where they go. If wind is wrong they cancel, had 2 trips cancelled myself before going up. Was great experiance thou.
