Family Owned and Run, Simply the best value for your money.
Glad you are here,
Thompson Aire is a Family owned and Family operated balloon business. We love what we do and we love making first class memories for you and your family. We fly more personal balloon systems. This allows our pilots to spend more time with each passenger creating a more personal experience.
There are many things that set Thompson Aire Balloon Rides apart from all others. Not only do we fly smaller more personal balloons for the best overall experience but our balloons also have SEATS in them! Great for kids and those who do not want to stand for an hours flight. Our pilots are highly skilled and ranked as some of the top pilots in the country.
You may find cheaper rides on the internet. There are many reasons for this. First is they do not have family rates. The fee is per person and it may be less than our adult rate but when you are paying full price for the teens and children your over all total will be higher than ours. One of the biggest reasons a company may charge less, is that you will share your flight with up to 20 other people. Make sure you ask how many others will be sharing your special family event?

Honestly the price difference will completely go away with the first class service you will receive. Go to the Guest Book and read what others have said and then Call Thompson Aire!
