Ride Operator Questionaire

WELCOME

We are thrilled you would like to be a part of the Aviation-Ranch Balloon Ride Network. 

Here are a few things you should know.

• We will do everything in our power to make sure that your calendar and location is found by people who are looking for balloon rides in your area.  Typically when we add a new location it takes about 6-8 weeks to get that operator ranking well on the search engines, so be patient.  We will submit your calendar and page to Google, Bing, Yahoo and Yelp.  We will also include links on the main menu on Aviation-Ranch.com
• The next thing we would like for you to understand is that we are going to customize your calendar to your locations information just for your operation.  Below you will find a bunch of questions we will need to know to create your custom passenger "Confirmation email".  When a potential passenger selects a date and places a deposit they will be sent an email that tells them all about what comes next.  You will also get two emails.  One will be a copy of what the passenger has been sent so you are aware of the exact information they were sent.  You will also receive a short email that gives you the basics of the passenger information.  Flight date, passenger qty, and contact information.
• There will be a small monthly fee of $135 to maintain the online booking calendar and provide you an email where you can request changes to the calendar.  You can also request changes to your calendar availability and the passenger and balloon quantity as well.  Your custom calendar can handle as many passengers as you like.  We can also block off any dates as you wish. WE can also make a private ride booking calendar and a shared (non-private) calendar for your location.
• The last thing you should know is that bookings will require the passenger to pay a $25 deposit per passenger.   The $25 deposit that is placed per person is donated to the Maverick Division of the Aviation-Ranch.  You can read more about the Maverick Division in the News Section on the main site.  We will stress to the passenger that the deposit is a non-refundable deposit and it going to a worthy balloon charity.

SO..  If you are ready to be part of the balloon ride network please sign up below and we will get started on your booking calendar.
