Romantic Hot Air Balloon

Tips for Planning a Romantic Hot Air Balloon Ride

Are you seeking a romantic adventure to surprise the special person in your life with? How about a hot air balloon ride? Many people have proposed marriage, and even tied the knot, while aloft in a hot air balloon!

The first step in planning a romantic hot air balloon ride is finding the right company to deal with. Use the Internet to locate places that offer private hot air balloon rides for couples. You can even find special package deals that make the trip even more romantic. Upon landing, you can share a champagne picnic. Book a hotel room and spend a few days in the town where you landed, exploring your surroundings and just having fun!

So...what if you're not sure if a hot air balloon ride is right for you or your sweetie? It helps to become educated about ballooning before deciding to take a ride. Hot air balloons are designed to be safe and secure. They're made from three major parts: the burner, the basket and the envelope. The burner is what supplies the hot air that powers the balloon. The basket is where the passengers sit, and is crafted from strong and flexible wicker. The basket doesn't tip or sway during flight, and you don't have to worry about falling out. The envelope is the balloon part, and is most always crafted from durable, fireproof nylon.

Another great safety feature of hot air balloon rides is the chase crew. The chase crew is a group of people on the ground who follow the balloon and meet it upon landing. They collect the passengers and equipment, and supply the champagne for your after-flight toast!

Most hot air balloon rides are conducted right after sunrise, although you may find a few happening right before dusk. This is due to the favorable wind conditions during these times. If you're surprising your loved one with the ride, make sure you instruct them to dress comfortably, in light layered clothing made from fabrics like cotton. Also, flat comfortable shoes are a must!

Bring a camera to capture all the beauty viewable from the balloon, as well as pictures of you and your loved one! With a little planning and creativity, you can go on a romantic hot air balloon ride that you and your significant other will remember for years to come!
