Balloon rides are a great gift! Most balloon companies offer gift certificates so you can give a flight to your favorite person. Certificates are a very thoughtful gift since the recipient can schedule their balloon ride themselves. Certificates also work well when you are in a different part of the country. You may be in San Diego, California, but you can buy a balloon ride gift certificate for someone in Nebraska. Some company websites allow you to purchase and print a gift certificate instantly, while others may require a phone call to make a purchase. When shopping for a balloon flight gift certificate be sure to check the length of time the certificate is valid for. Be sure it is good for at least a year.
As you search for Ballon rides in Norfolk, realize that your ride might be rescheduled if weather conditions are bad. Don't expect to fly if it is poor visiblilty or too cold. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll take many more snap shots than you expect.

During the flight the balloon is followed by the chase crew. The chase crew is usually in radio contact with the pilot, and the crew's job is to be at the landing site when the balloon returns to earth. This can be quite an adventure in itself! After the balloon lands, the crew packs the balloon back into the chase vehicle and everyone returns to the launch site. One of the most important parts of being on a chase crew is dealing with the public. When the balloon is landing, the chase crew asks the landowner for permission to retrieve the balloon.
