Air balloon flights close to New York    

New York Air balloon flights

Air balloon flights are celebrated in New York, and you could enjoy this wonderful avocation year-round. Even though several people have never even been up close to a balloon, those who have floated away in one remember this marvellous experience for a long time!

Air balloon flights can be had by everyone. Most charters last almost an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what's available. Sometimes they have several flights to choose from.

What if you have to go to the bathroom?
Pre-planning is the key! Since flights average about an hour or so, pre-planning pays off in this regard. There are no bathrooms aboard the balloon.

How long do balloon rides last?

Most balloon flights are in the air for 30 minutes to one hour, but you should plan on being out with the balloon team for three hours or more. First, the pilot must determine the launch site based on current wind direction. The chase crew will follow the balloon during the flight and will be there when the balloon lands. the balloon is packed up and passengers and crew are returned to the original meeting place.

Be sure to check with the company you are flying with to see how long your flight is expected to last.

As you look for Air balloon flights in New York, keep in mind that your charter will be rescheduled if conditions are less than perfect. Don't expect to fly if it is too cold or windy. Bring your camera and lots of film, since you'll snap many more photos than you expect.
