There are many factors that go into how long a balloon will stay afloat. Some of those factors will be discussed here along with ways to increase that time

Mylar Balloon Floating Time

Mylar balloons are also called foil balloons.
Typical float time is 5-7 days.
Temperature, altitude, size and designs on the balloon all affect the float time.

High Altitude:
If you live in high altitude you will have better luck floating a mylar balloon that is larger than 18 inches. It will also float better if it is round rather than shaped.

Temperature
In cold temperatures helium balloons struggle to float. Warm them up and they perk right up.
