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.

There are various conditions surrounding these particular excursions. If you go for East Tennessee balloon rides, you have to agree upon certain things and follow certain set of rules for your safety. This is also the same for every company which is offering this type of service.

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.

When you are all set, you have to choose between the flight times. It could be during the sunrise. There are also those that are for the sunset trip. This might be a difficult choice to do because you know that both of the choices are equally beautiful. You must rely on your preference to make the best choice.

There are private baskets that are suited for people who do not want to be with strangers or who want to be alone in the trip. This will cost more than the already expensive fee. There is also the public basket where you will be joined by ten other people. If you are more comfortable with one of the options, it should be what you must choose.

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.

There is not dress code when it comes to this activity. But wearing the appropriate clothing will ensure that you will make the most out of your experience. When you take off, you will feel the humidity from the burner and from the temperature of the day. And even when it is winter, you will still feel a certain rise of temperature. Which is why you have to wear the fitting outfit.

Picture taking is allowed and highly recommended. But you also have to think about the safety of your gadgets. Having a neck sling or wrist sling for your hand cameras or phones would come in handy. This way, even when you stick your arm out of the basket, you can be sure that your device would not fall off.

Landing could get bumpy. Which is why you have to prepare for it as well. The pilot will be giving instructions prior to it. You must listen and do what he says for safeness.
