Hot air balloon trips in New Hampshire    

New Hampshire Balloon rides

Hot air balloon rides are the rage in New Hampshire, and you can savor this wonderful interest whenever the weather is favorable. Regardless of the fact that many outdoor enthusiasts have never even gotten near a hot air balloon, those who have flown in one remember this wonderful experience forever!

When the pilot has located a nice field for landing, the crew is informed (usually by radio) of the landing site. The goal of the crew is two fold; they want to have the vehicle at the landing field before the pilot lands, and still have enough time to be waiting in the selected field to assist in any way with the landing operation. Sound pretty simple? Well... it is, most of the time! It is often explained that crewing is 90% just plain common sense, and 10% training.

Hot air balloon rides can be had by everyone. Most charters last roughly an hour, however check with your pilot to find out what they offer. A few 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.
