Orlando Ballon flightsBallon flights are popular in Orlando, and you could delight in this outstanding way to rise above the earth now. While numbers of people have never even been up close to a air balloon, those who have taken flight in one remember this marvelous experience for a long time!Ballon flights can be experienced by young and old alike. Most trips last more or less an hour, but check with the tour company to find out what they offer. They might have different offerings 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 Ballon flights in Orlando, keep in mind that your trip will be rescheduled if weather conditions are less than perfect. Don't expect to fly if it is too cold or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll snap many more photographs than you expect.

A two- or three- person crew helps the pilot rig the equipment, holds open the envelope while it fills with cold air, and applies weight to the outside of the basket as needed before launch. Then they follow the balloon on the ground, and after the landing help the pilot pack everything up and bring it home again. Much of the crew workload consists of carrying heavy equipment from the truck to and from launch and landing spots.
