Best Price, GUARANTEED!
Not all balloon rides are created equal. There are several behind the scenes
factors to consider when taking a balloon ride. Safety, Skill and Comfort
are hard to evaluate when shopping for a low price and booking a balloon
ride online. We have tried to eliminate this effort for you with our
Competitor Match Special.
You may book your balloon ride with us at our competitor's best advertised
price at time of booking and get all of the enhanced features in our balloon
ride package. To book at this low rate, your ticket must be purchased online
or by phone, and is non-refundable. Once booked, no changes are allowed
unless the flight is cancelled due to weather. This way you'll receive all
of the benefits of our premium service for the same price as the bare bones
discount balloon ride providers. We do competitive price checks weekly, so
we'll have the best price for you at time of purchase.
The reasons to pick us over our competition?
Safety - Our company meets the required California and Federal Insurance
limits for Hot Air Ballooning. Although we've never needed it, our insurance
policy is with A+ rated Old Republic Insurance Company and our policy number
is AV 08119802. We have a perfect safety record. Believe it or not, some
balloonists operate with inadequate or expired insurance and may be
reluctant to provide you with their insurance information.
Skill - Our company is staffed by professional, seasoned Commercial FAA
rated balloon pilots experienced in the areas we fly. We don't make baseless
claims of # passengers flown and total combined years/hours of experience.
These claims do not reflect the ability of the actual pilot flying your
balloon. Our pilots have the local knowledge of the flight zone, launch and
landing areas, and is without incident or accident in their pilot record.
This translates into the longest and safest flight possible. Our staff of
pilots are part of a professional race team that competes internationally.
We own our equipment and do the flying - you are not dealing with a middle
man when you book with us.
Comfort - We strive to give you the best experience possible in ballooning.
We know that you'll return and or recommend us if we do our job right. The
more intimate and involved we can make your flight - the more rewarding for
all of us. That's why our packages offer more little features than our
competitors. That's why we fly smaller less crowded balloons, so it is more
of a balloon experience and less like a bus ride. That's why we use premium
champagne instead of the cheap stuff. We don't cancel rides and pretend it
was due to the wind or weather because we lack enough passengers to make the
flight profitable. We don't shorten the flight just to save costs.
