KRT TRAVEL STORY SLUGGED: BALLOON KRT PHOTOGRAPH BY ROBERT KRUG/DALLAS MORNING NEWS (FORT WORTH OUT) (September 25) Last year, 903 balloons flew during the 28th annual Kodak Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. This year, an even 1,00 balloons are registered to participate in the nine-day event. (KRT) PL KD 2000 (Horiz) (smd) -- NO MAGS, NO SALES --

Travel Q&A

Q: Do you have any pointers on the balloon fiesta in Albuquerque, N.M.? My friend and I, both in our 70s, will be going in October for a couple of days. We already have reservations at a hotel, but would like any info on getting to the event, taking chairs and other inside info. We have contacted the tour board there and have asked hotel personnel for any pointers, but most of what they tell us is kind of sketchy.

A: For starters, don't forget your camera. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is one of the most spectacular visual events in the world. Not much compares to the sight of 500 balloons rising during the mass ascensions Oct. 2 and 3).

This

year's fiesta runs from Oct. 2-10 at the almost 360-acre Balloon Fiesta Park in Albuquerque. The park includes a staggering 78-acre launch field, from which the balloons take off.

You can find a comprehensive 22-page downloadable PDF guest guide on the fiesta's official website at www.balloonfiesta.com. Included are a full schedule of events, a map of the venue and a parking and shuttle bus route map.

For those without Internet access, here are a few things worth knowing:

  • If you drive, exit Interstate 25 at Alameda and follow the signs to the fiesta. General parking is $10 per session. (The events are divided into morning and evening sessions, although there are no evening sessions Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. To avoid paying for parking twice in one day, you would need to remain at the park between the two sessions.)
  • Park-and-ride shuttle bus service is offered from six sites, including the Coronado Mall. The cost, which includes admission, is $15 general (ages 13 to 61), $10 for ages 62 and older and $5 for ages 6-12. Discounted advance tickets are available.
  • Event admission is $6 for anyone 12 or older. Younger children are admitted free when accompanied by an adult. Discounts, available when buying in advance, include a five-session ticket for $25. (As with parking, you won't be charged for a second session if you stay until the evening session.)
  • Because large crowds are expected, early arrival is recommended for weekend and evening events. Gates open at 4:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.
  • Lawn chairs are allowed. If you arrive early enough, you also may be able to claim one of a limited number of picnic tables or benches available on the east side of the launch field, along Main Street.
  • Temperatures average 40 degrees in the morning and 70 degrees around noon, so consider wearing layers. Also remember that you will be at high altitude, so bring sunscreen.

    For additional information, check the fiesta's website or call 888-422-7277. Next year's fiesta will be Oct. 1-9.
