This was a delightful experience for my
ten-year-old son, seventy-five-year old father and myself. The staff and owner were incredibly pleasant to work with, always prompt and dependable in communication about our flight date and the the ride itself was incredible! The pilots and everyone in the crew were more than pleasant and I cannot recommend this company enough. After a flight that was just long enough to take in the Arizona morning sky, we landed to an amazing breakfast and champagne toast. It was far better than any ol' hotel breakfast buffet! We were treated this morning to a wonderful experience. to which I encourage you to take if you are considering.
A couple of key points to think about. It can be somewhat difficult to get in and out of the basket if you are not limber. I assumed (incorrectly) that there would be a door into the basket and shouldn't have. The people are really helpful in getting you in and out, if you need it. It can also be cold, so be prepared. Not so much when you get under the balloon burner, but half of the experience is getting to watch the operation get off the ground and it can be chilly early in the morning air while doing so.
