Hot Air Balloon Ride Price Cost

During our week long vacation in Orlando, Florida, we scheduled an airboat ride, hot air balloon and swimming with Manatee's. Without a doubt, Captain Jeff and his happy crew were the best hosts in town. Although safety is of the utmost concern, they have not forgotten what it means to have a good time...even at 6:00 am! And after the ride, they don't just drop you off and disappear. They were there throughout the following breakfast and made sure everyone was treated well by the restaurant staff. Without a doubt, this was by far the best value for the money during our vacation. Yes, the flight was incredible, but it was Captain Jeff and his crew that really, really made it all worth while. You want to feel special instead of just another tourist shelling out money? Go with Captain Jeff and crew. You will not be disappointed!

We do not recommend a balloon flight for children under 5 years old. The burner on the balloon will frighten very small children.

We will be honest up front. Thompson Aire is the most expensive operator in the Orlando area.

There is a reason for this. We operate some of the most up to date equipment in the sky. We abide by all the FAA regulations and consider your safety and comfort our highest priority. We have been operating these wonderful flying machines for over 30 (Thirty!) years. No not the same one. : -) We have, and will keep a %100 safety record.

We don't believe you would purchase a cheap parachute (if your life depended on it) so why would you purchase a cheap balloon flight?

Experience really does make a difference! We don't want you to be fooled by silly claims of over 100 years of experience.

Combined experience of 50 guys for 6 months does not really equal 25 years of experience.

Does the experience of the whole company really matter to you when you're up in the air? What matters is the experience of the Pilot in YOUR basket, all those guys on the ground or in other balloons wont make much difference to you. Capt Thompson has actually been a licensed pilot for over 30 YEARS! That's 30 years of experience in the basket with YOU!.

Many have flown with us and admit the small difference in price is off set ten fold by the experience of flying with the best. Read just one letter here from our recent guest or go to the testimonials page for words from our past passengers.
