Des Moines Balloon ridesBalloon rides are favored in Des Moines, and you may savor this wonderful pastime year around. Even though numerous people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have floated away in one remember this wonderful experience the rest of their life!Balloon rides can be experienced by young and old alike. Most excursions last approximately an hour, but check with the tour company to find out your options. Several have different trips to choose 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 search for Balloon rides in Des Moines, understand that your charter could be rescheduled if weather conditions are bad. Don't expect to fly if it is raining or windy. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll take many more snapshots than you require.
