Talk of the Town

“This was my first time flying and I could not have asked for a better experience. Our pilot, Brittany, was incredible! So friendly and she is truly a professional. We flew right over the Bosque and even touched the Rio Grande! Amazing experience and I could not recommend more!! Highly highly recommend :)”

“First time hot air ballooning, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team! Our Pilot (Brittany) was excellent. And the entire crew was amazing. The views were breathtaking. And it felt like a day with friends. I’ll definitely be back. If you’re looking for a company in Albuquerque, this is it!!!!”

“I spoke to Patrick to book a flight for my family. He was actually on a balloon flight when I spoke with him on the phone and he was very informative and courteous. He assured me of their safety protocols and procedures and told me that he could get me on a balloon that same week. The day of the flight we met his wife Brittany who was the pilot. She was fun, professional and a native New Mexican. This matters because she knows the terrain well and will keep you safe. At the end of our tour we celebrated with champagne and a meat and cheese platter. We would recommend to our friends and family any time.”

We did our first ever Hot Air Balloon Ride with Fly Albuquerque. Patrick and team are just awesome. Patrick was very responsive. Pilots have great knowledge and they took a great care and answered all the questions we had. We were scared a bit before flying but it was very smooth and highly recommend "Fly Albuquerque"
