Baloon flights around New Orleans    

New Orleans Baloon flights

Baloon flights are very popular in New Orleans, and you may revel in this exciting interest year-round. Regardless of the fact that numbers of people have never even been up close to a hot air balloon, those who have taken off in one remember this spectacular experience for a long time!

Baloon flights can be experienced by young and old alike. Most flights last approximately an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what's available. Some have several packages to choose from.

What are envelopes made of?
Rip-stop nylon is the most common material. Polyester and other fabrics are sometimes used. The lower portions around the opening are usually made from a fire resistant material like Nomex, similar to what race car drivers and firemen wear.

How do you steer a balloon?

Balloons simply float with the wind. The pilot can control the balloon's altitude to find a wind going in the desired direction, but you cannot fly upwind or crosswind.

Preflight planning insures the pilot knows which way the balloon will be traveling, and the pilot makes sure there are plenty of suitable landing sites downwind. You'll be amazed how the pilot is able to steer the balloon during your balloon ride!

As you look for Baloon flights in New Orleans, realize that your ride could be rescheduled if conditions are unflyable. Don't expect to fly if it is unstable or too cold. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll snap many more photos than you require.
