Balloon rides in Arizona    

Arizona Hot air balloon trips

Hot air balloon trips are popular in Arizona, and your family can savor this outstanding avocation while the weather is good. Regardless of the fact that many outdoor enthusiasts have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have floated away in one remember this great treat for years!

How do you light the burners?
Usually with a striker similar to that used by welders to light their welding torches. Some burners have built-in piezo-electric ignitors. Once lit, a pilot light keeps the fuel burning.

Hot air balloon trips can be experienced by all ages. Most flights last up to an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Many have different packages to select from.

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.
