Hot air balloon rides near Alabama    

Alabama Hot air balloon trips

Hot air balloon trips are plentiful in Alabama, and you can revel in this unique and calm sport any time the weather conditions are good. While many people have never even gotten near a lighter than air craft, those who have flown in one remember this spectacular treat forever!

The balloon is inflated using a gasoline powered fan. Once the balloon is fully packed with air, the pilot turms on the burner and heats the air in the balloon, causing it to rise. Passengers then board the aircraft, and your flight begins!

Hot air balloon trips can be enjoyed by anyone. Most charters last approximately an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Occasionally they have several trips to buy 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.
