Chattanooga Balloon flights

Balloon flights are accepted in Chattanooga, and you can revel in this wonderous way to fly year-round. While numbers of people have never even been up close to a balloon, those who have taken off in one remember this spectacular experience for life!

Balloon flights can be enjoyed by all ages. Most charters last close to an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what is available. Some have different trips to buy from.

Every task the crew performs has a reason for why it is done a certain way, and once that reason is discovered, it makes perfect sense. The trick to learning is to ask questions. Lots of questions. I have met many pilots, and have assisted with the set up of every major brand of balloon. I have asked hundreds of questions. I have yet to have any pilot treat a question like it was silly of me to ask.

Can we fly at a balloon festival?

Check with your local balloon company to see if you can get your balloon ride during a nearby festival. Flying at a festival is a unique experience, and is one that you don't want to miss if possible.

Each festival has their own rules, and many do not allow paid passenger rides for several reasons, including FAA restrictions or insurance concerns. Some festivals, however, not only allow passenger flights but encourage spectators to fly by selling balloon rides at the festival.

Preplanning is the key - you'll want to know well in advance if you can fly at the balloon festival you plan to attend.

As you look for Balloon flights in Chattanooga, remember that your flight could be rescheduled if weather is less than perfect. Don't expect to fly if it is too hot or windy. Bring your camera and lots of film, since you'll take many more pics than you require.
