Balloon rides in New Mexico    

New Mexico Balloon flights

Balloon rides are very big in New Mexico, and busy people can delight in this spectacular activity when the weather is good. While many persons have never even been close to a air balloon, those who have flown in one remember this spectacular treat for years to come!

How many hot air balloons are there?
There are over 3,500 balloons and 4,000 licensed pilots in the U.S. There are another 1000 or so balloons in other countries.

Balloon rides can be had by young and old alike. Most excursions last roughly an hour, notwithstanding check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Several have several flights to select from.

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.
