Ride Availability

Sep 12, 2024

We understand a flight during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta® is the ultimate check off a bucket list and would like to provide you every opportunity to do so! Unfortunately, our availability is limited. You can see which dates are available to book in advance below. However, don’t fret if your preferred date is sold out! We have an alternate option for you; our Stand By List.

Stand By List:

Come by our balloon rides tent at Balloon Fiesta Park (located just inside Admission Gate 9) around 4:45 am to get your name on the list. This is first-come, first-serve, in-person only. We are usually able to get the first few names (if not more) on a balloon ride each morning! We can’t wait to fly with you!
