How To Make The Most Of Your Balloon Rides

By Claudine Hodges


There are various activities that you can do if you are aiming for both relaxation and adventure. But there is nothing that can compare to the thrill and the feel that you would experience when you ride a balloon. Unlike being in an airplane high up in the air, you have the privilege of actually seeing all the things down below.

It is important that you know several pointers and facts before deciding that this is what you want to do. East Tennessee balloon rides is one of the places that you can go where you will surely enjoy. Aside from this place, there are still various sites in the world who will gladly offer you a ride for a fee. Along the way there might be disappointing situations but you just have to be patient as well.

There is not such thing as a perfect plan when it comes to this type of excursion. This is because no one in the country could predict the weather and what will happen tomorrow. Even when you are already in the field and the rain starts to pour, the company will likely cancel because it is not safe to take flight during these conditions. You do have have to be too disheartened because you would surely have another schedule.

Usually the flights available is during the sunrise and the sunset. If this is the case, it would be limited. There are other companies that offer round the clock services. But if you want to make the most of all the view that you want to see, these are the best times to go up. It is because the scenery will be breathtaking up there during these times.

Another facet that you have to decide on is whether you want to go to a public basket or a private one. Rides can be pricey even when the baskets are public. But if you want to have some privacy, you can always go for the other option. You will be sharing the whole space with at least 10 people, so you will be standing.

Since you will likely be with other people, there is no chance that you can sit for the entire duration of the flight. That is why you have to wear shoes that are comfortable. It must not be heels. But if you are feel that you are more comfortable with heels even when you are standing for a while, then it is your choice.

It is not only the shoes but the dress as well. The temperature when you are in the basket is actually high because of the compressor and the hot air that fuels the balloon. And you can expect that you would feel uncomfortable if you would wear too much clothing and a dress.

You will surely bring cameras or your phones for documentation. And the best thing to do so that you would not worry about your gadgets is to have a sling you can wear. The height of the drop of your gadget is something that it would not be able to take. This is another precaution that you must not forget also.

The landing of the balloon is not something that you would expect. It might get bumpy along the way which is why you have to be prepared. The most important thing to remember is to always follow the instructions of the pilot.
