ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you could join us!
ReplyDeleteHi Ivan. We are travelling from Manila by car. I have made direct bookings with Lohas Hotel. Do we arrange entrance ticket and hot air balloon ride with them?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, it's a long shot to actually book a ride on the balloons. I myself haven't ridden on one during the event.
ReplyDeleteThe balloon owners usually allow one or two to ride in their balloons per day. It's usually reserved for those who've hosted them, VIPs and their families, or paying passenger who get lucky to book a slot. It's not available to the general public.
Tickets are available at the gate. So don't worry about that.
This is great bro! i'd like to ride one of those balloons! hehehe
ReplyDeleteSame here! Hope I get a chance this time around. Hehe!
