Goodyear Blimp Ride

You are bidding on the experience of a lifetime: a 45-minute flight for 2 seats on the world-famous Goodyear Blimp at the Goodyear Ohio Airship Base.

Rides on the Goodyear Blimp are typically by invitation only and are not available for purchase to the public. However, Goodyear donates ride certificates to a handful of charities each year.

Once the certificate winner has registered for a flight, they will receive dates as they become available. Please note that flights are very limited because the Goodyear Blimp is often flying to deliver value for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. The blimp is also extremely sensitive to weather patterns. Even scheduled flights might be canceled last minute due to weather. When this happens the certificate holder will be rescheduled for a future flight.

Since a flight on the Goodyear Blimp cannot be purchased, we consider the certificates priceless. They simply do not have a sale value.
