First, our crew chief will take you or your friend(s) to the launch site where the beautiful balloon is being inflated. Then we gently ascend and float between 500 and 1,000 feet and travel wherever the wind takes us. We fly above the treetops and below the clouds for about an hour, covering five to ten miles. On landing we celebrate with a champagne or fruit juice toast, an old ballooning tradition. The whole experience takes about 3 hours, three fantastic hours! Flight ticket is good through November 1, 2012. Retail price $599.85.
