Phoenix Air balloon flightsAir balloon flights are all the rage in Phoenix, and you may revel in this unique sport year-round. Regardless of the fact that many people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have flown in one remember this fantastic experience for life!Air balloon flights can be had by all ages. Most flights last just about an hour, but check with your pilot to find out your options. Some have several trips to order from.
Deal direct with the company you fly with: Our guide is unique since it lists the actual ride companies in a particular area. This offers many advantages over the 'Prepaid' ride companies. First, you can visit with the company and find out all you need to know, including their specific terms and practices. Secondly, when you book directly with the flight company, you know exactly where you'll fly, how long the flight will last, and what is included. Our directory also allows you to comparison shop when there are multiple operators in an area. The companies that advertise 'hundreds of locations nationwide' usually contract with a single operator in an area and pay them only a fraction of what you paid for your flight. Passengers that come from these 'aggregators' are used to fill vacant spots on existing flights, and it may be more difficult to actually schedule your flight if all seats are full during the most desirable times of year. As with most things, you get what you pay for!
As you look for Air balloon flights in Phoenix, keep in mind that your charter could be rescheduled if conditions are unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is windy or unstable. Bring your camera and lots of film, since you'll take many more photos than you require.

The balloon is inflated using a gasoline powered fan. Once the balloon is fully packed with air, the pilot turms on the burner and heats the air in the balloon, causing it to rise. Passengers then board the aircraft, and your flight begins!
