Omaha Ballon flights

Ballon flights are common in Omaha, and you may enjoy this great way to rise above the earth throughout the year. While numerous people have never even been up close to a hot air balloon, those who have floated away in one remember this fantastic experience for years to come!

Ballon flights can be enjoyed by all ages. Most excursions last around an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what is available. Several have different trips to order from.

How do you steer a balloon?
Balloons simply float with the wind. The pilot can control the balloon's altitude to find a wind going in the desired direction, but you cannot fly upwind or crosswind. Preflight planning insures the pilot knows which way the balloon will be traveling, and the pilot makes sure there are plenty of suitable landing sites downwind.

What should you wear during your flight?

Ballooning is not a formal occasion, so heals, dresses and suits are not appropriate. Dress like you would for an outdoor hike. Comfortable shoes (no open-toed shoes or sandals, please), long pants and layered clothing during the cooler months are recommended. Balloons don't normally land at airports, so you'll probably be standing in an open field after landing. Dress appropriately for the area of the country you're flying in.

Be sure to check with the company you are flying with for their clothing rules.

As you search for Ballon flights in Omaha, realize that your charter could be rescheduled if conditions are unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is raining or too cold. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll snap many more photographs than you require.
