Joined a balloon ride in Nagrand Draenor. Took us through time and space to Nagrand Outland. Time travel balloons.

Kommentar von Haqin

Balloon rides are marked on the map with a red cross. When you get there, just speak to the NPC standing next to the balloon and you'll join a queue (you'll get a balloon buff) - it needs 3 people to go on a ride, which can be made up of either faction. As soon as you have 3 you'll automatically jump in the balloon and off you go!

In the Broken isles, there are rides in Azsuna, Highmountain, Stormheim and Suramar.
In the older lands, there are rides in Nagrand (Draenor), Valley of the Four Winds (Pandaria), Uldum (Kalimdor) and Crystalsong Forest (Northrend).
There don't appear to be any in Eastern Kingdoms or Outland.

The rides seem to last about 4 minutes and the 'Tour Guide' npc generally has some sort of dialogue that tries (in vain mostly!) to encourage a bit of social interaction.

word of warning: if you decide to "exit the vehicle" during the tour, you will fall without any slowing. so make sure you are over water, or have some means to not die from hitting the ground.

Kommentar von Wunjo63

Don't speak to the starting NPC more than once, it requeues your position in line if there is multiple people waiting.

Riding a balloon takes 3 people, I can see it now, "Balloon Group LF2 985 ilevel, link AOTC achieve, bads will be kicked on sight"

Kommentar von simonjs

the waiting is making me go crazy im on an alliance char and finaly 3 hordes came then i ended up playing the waiting game for them as they simply waited for me to reclick the ballon que so they could go together and the group finder leader is afk with no auto accept

Kommentar von Byer

Are there 99 of them? I only want 99 luftballons. Damn... I've just aged myself.

There is no way to run these solo. I was looking forward to a quiet solo balloon flight to admire the art and scenery of Azeroth.
I would have loved to be able to just go to each of these balloon locations and just take the ride - the achievement was not anything I even knew about until after I began researching this particular micro-holiday.
I was disappointed when I found out that you can not do it solo.
You have two options to ride:
a) queue for it at a balloon or
b) you have to put together a 3 person party to get on the balloon.

Don't forget, this is not a quest - you can complete it in a raid! My LFG group was between 15-25 people most of the time, and I never had to wait around for long, especially if I put out an LFM call for a balloon location.

Kommentar von Ehayen

FYI there is no achievement or reward for riding the balloons.

Kommentar von SemperVolo

Some of the most wonderful things about WoW are the environments and music. It's a shame I cannot fly one of these hot balloons solo to take in the atmosphere myself, and instead have to wait for 3 other players. (And yes, I know there are no achievements associated with this event).

Kommentar von Oghinia

In Uldum with the assault going on (8.3) there is a red X on the map, but no Balloon and no /tar Schnottz.

Also a good Balloon related book is The Twenty-One Balloons:

Kommentar von AveryZan

Love this event with friends. Wish it would come more often, and I hope they add BFA and Shadowlands areas. This is a very under-appreciated event I think a lot of people don't even know about.

Kommentar von Rakenessaa

Loved my trip with two other elf players in Suramar. 💜 Waited in Azsuna for a bit, but was the third in Suramar.

(Wished the balloon went more over the city!)

Kommentar von cpuri

For three years in a row the balloon in HIghmountain clips right through the ground and goes half the way below the surface. Quality content.

Kommentar von refuse2Xist

Hoped into the Azsuna Balloon spot and got ejected (two NPCs "failed" to fire the fireworks and the balloon exploded) 2 minutes after the ride started. It did NOT count toward my Travelere's Log achievement, so I wasted 15 minutes of waiting for people to even join.
