It isn't.

Does mileage count in the cost?

Each blimp comes with 250 miles per day. Additional miles are .35/mile
I wonder if you get discounts for going downwind?

Yes, you fly it yourself. The one person blimps do not require a license, and we can teach you how to fly in about 15 minutes. Larger blimps require a little more preparation, but we will have systems in place to get you through the process.

^^That one is a big clue. Become a meteorologist in 15 minutes!

Any specific limitations?
The FAA has informed us that Blimp flights can only safely be flown by amateurs in early April.
But I went ahead and asked a friend in Portland to call her local office for me anyway.........
