Curly-Q Posted May 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Has anyone experienced the hot air ballon ride in Fairbanks (going in August). Have the contact, just want to see what you thought about it, if it was a great experience or just so-so. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted May 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 8, 2004 It was my first and only balloon ride, so it was pretty cool to see how the whole process works. It's not a Misty Fjords flight, but worthwhile anyway.

alpal1993 Posted May 10, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Yukon Thank you,thank you sooo very much.It has always been a dream of mine to go hot air ballooning and have been waiting for a great place to do it. Fairbanks should be the perfect place. I will call them as soon as I get home from work. Thanks again for the info. I am so excited. Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeysmom Posted May 10, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Thanks Curly Q and Yukon - one for the idea and the other for the web site. Visited their web site and contacted them - looks interesting. Flight times are around 6am and 9 pm, cost $150 pp. They will provide transportation from hotels at $10 pp. They recommend 3-4 week advanced reservations. Thinking about surprising my son with this as a "one last thing to do" in Alaska. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
