Balloon excursions in the area of Atlanta    

Atlanta Balloon excursions

Balloon excursions are popular in Atlanta, and you could enjoy this unusual activity now. Regardless of the fact that numbers of people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have floated away in one remember this spectacular experience for a long time!

Balloon excursions can be enjoyed by everyone. Most trips last around an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what they offer. They often have different packages to choose from.

A balloon has an envelope, basket, and sometimes a burner and fuel system. The envelope is the fabric part of the balloon, the bag that holds the lifting gas. The basket (traditionally wicker) is the passenger compartment. In a hot air balloon, a burner hangs between the envelope and the basket. It burns liquefied propane gas to make an intensely hot and long flame, capable of heating a large volume of air very quickly.

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 look for Balloon excursions in Atlanta, realize that your trip could be rescheduled if weather is not appropriate. Don't expect to fly if it is too cold or raining. Bring your camera and plenty of film, because you'll take many more snapshots than you require.
