About Hot Air Expeditions

Hot Air Expeditions operates hot air balloon flights from a Phoenix launch area at Deer Valley Airport. Morning flights run daily and year-round, taking off just after sunrise, and afternoon flights are offered seasonally from November 1 through March 15 in Phoenix. Flights last about 45 to 60 minutes over the Sonoran Desert, with unobstructed 360-degree views. Private flights are available for a minimum of two passengers, and baskets accommodate up to 20 guests at a time. The crew follows each balloon by road so it can be ready at the landing site, where a table is set with linens and china for a champagne toast and catered fare. Hot Air Balloon Weddings are offered in Phoenix only. A wedding can take place in the air while the couple recites vows, followed by a champagne toast and catered fare at the desert landing site. Packages can include a private flight, a pilot who serves as wedding officiant, and a balloonist's ceremony, and can be customized with florals, catering, photography and videography. Tethered balloon rides for receptions and events are also offered, requiring about 250 by 250 feet of clear space and calm, stable weather, with a two-hour minimum.
