Arlington Air balloon rides

Air balloon rides are the thing in Arlington, and you could delight in this unusual way to rise above the earth throughout the year. Even though numerous people have never even been up close to a hot air balloon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this unique experience forever!

Air balloon rides can be had by all ages. Most adventures last roughly an hour, but check with your ride company to find out your options. Many have several trips to order from.

How does the balloon get in the air in the first place? That's where the ground crew (or chase crew, two names, same job) comes in. The crew's number one job is to assist the pilot. This includes setting up the balloon, helping to make sure the basket is arranged and stocked with those things the pilot likes to take along, and to help achieve a safe lift off. Once the balloon is airborne, the crew takes the chase vehicle and follow the balloon for an hour or so.

How can I find a balloon ride company if there isn't one listed near me?

You can check your local yellow pages for balloon rides, but it is possible that there are no flights available. Some areas are not conducive to safe balloon flight, so you may need to contact a company in a nearby city or state.

Flying in a balloon is a wonderful experience, and is definitely worth the effort even if you need to take an overnight trip to fly in a balloon. Talk to the balloon company about nearby hotels and other activities you can do while you are visiting their area.
