Hot air balloon rides near Florida    

Florida Balloon rides

Hot air balloon flights are big in Florida, and smart shoppers can delight in this wonderous sport any time the conditions are favorable. Regardless of the fact that many outdoor enthusiasts have never even gotten near a ballon, those who have floated away in one remember this great treat the rest of their life!

How do you light the burners?
Usually with a striker similar to that used by welders to light their welding torches. Some burners have built-in piezo-electric ignitors. Once lit, a pilot light keeps the fuel burning.

Hot air balloon flights can be had by anyone. Most charters last about an hour, even so check with your ride company to find out what they offer. They might have different flights to order 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.
