Connecticut Balloon flights

Balloon rides are the rage in Connecticut, and busy people can enjoy this exciting and photogenic activity whenever the weather conditions are favorable. While many people have never gotten near a lighter than air craft, those who have flown in one remember this marvellous treat for years to come!

Balloons are aircraft, regulated under the same Federal Aviation Regulations as every other category of aircraft. Balloons are aerostats, that is, static within the air. Once the balloon is buoyant, it moves with the air mass in which it floats, no faster, no slower, no different direction. The pilot has altitudinal control, and can alter the balloon's course by finding an air mass going in a slightly different direction.

Balloon rides can be experienced by all ages. Most trips last as much as an hour, however check with your pilot to find out what they offer. Several have several packages to choose from.

How can I find a balloon ride company if there isn't one listed near me?

You can check your local yellow pages for balloon rides, but it is possible that there are no flights available. Some areas are not conducive to safe balloon flight, so you may need to contact a company in a nearby city or state.

Flying in a balloon is a wonderful experience, and is definitely worth the effort even if you need to take an overnight trip to fly in a balloon. Talk to the balloon company about nearby hotels and other activities you can do while you are visiting their area.
