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 search for Baloon flights in Saint Petersburg, remember that your charter could be rescheduled if weather is bad. Don't expect to fly if it is unstable or too hot. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll take many more photographs than you expect.

The burner is fueled by propane, and is used by the pilot to heat the air inside the balloon's envelope (the fabric part above the passengers). When the air is heated, the balloon rises.
