Where the office can reserve hot air balloon trips in Tennessee
The office plans hot air balloon trips in Tennessee in the rolling farm country south and southeast of Nashville, where balloon companies take passengers, one of them year-round, and publish what a flight costs. Middle Tennessee keeps Central Time, one hour behind Pembroke Pines, and every trip page prints its clock times in it.
The Franklin meeting area
The balloon companies here meet in the Franklin area and choose the field each morning from the wind, somewhere over the pastures and woods of Williamson County and its neighbors. They fly at sunrise; one also flies in the two hours before sunset, and one lifts in the dark before dawn from April through November.
The lodging towns for these trips are Franklin, Brentwood, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill and Nashville. From Spring Hill and from Nashville the office plans 30 minutes for the drive to the meeting town, a little more than the 26 and 28 minutes measured on the road network; from Franklin itself it allows 10.

Near Murfreesboro
A balloon company based in Murfreesboro, southeast of Nashville in Rutherford County, flies private flights over the farmland around the town and prices them by the party. Its trip in the catalog stays in Murfreesboro, and the office plans it as a sunrise flight and asks the company for that time; the company states its flight times, its meeting place and its youngest flyer age in the quote.

Places the catalog leaves out
North of the Great Smoky Mountains a balloon company flies at dawn year-round, but it publishes no passenger price the office can check, so there is no trip there yet to put a price on. Around Chattanooga, the Tri-Cities and Memphis the office found no balloon company it could confirm taking passengers year-round. When either changes, the trips will appear here with their prices.
