Alabama Balloon rides

Balloon rides are all the rage in Alabama, and smart shoppers can savor this unusual way to fly whenever the weather conditions are good. While many persons have never been close to a balloon, those who have flown in one remember this wonderous experience forever!

Are all hot air balloons alike?
All hot air balloons consist of a burner system, a basket and an envelope. The differences are in the shape and size of the envelope, the deflation system, the basket shape and design and the configuration, design, and number of burners.

Balloon rides can be had by everyone. Most charters last more or less an hour, but check with your pilot to find out what they offer. Many have different offerings to select from.

How long do balloon rides last?

Most balloon flights are in the air for 30 minutes to one hour, but you should plan on being out with the balloon team for three hours or more. First, the pilot must determine the launch site based on current wind direction. The chase crew will follow the balloon during the flight and will be there when the balloon lands. the balloon is packed up and passengers and crew are returned to the original meeting place.

Be sure to check with the company you are flying with to see how long your flight is expected to last.
