The NPC named Jaga that offers this quest can be found near the lake in the Valley of Wisdom in Orgrimmar. Because this is a faction specific quest, only Horde may pick it up and receive a Horde Balloon.
The alliance version of this companion is the Alliance Balloon.
When mounted, the balloon pet will disappear.

A kid came into my shop asking if I sold balloon animals. I had to explain that I only sell real animals. But what's the next best thing? A Horde balloon that never pops, no matter how hard you try! That's right! Take out your favorite dagger and and give it a shot! No, wait... kids shouldn't be playing with daggers. Give that here, boy!
From what I'm hearing, it's a little erratic on that exclusion, and I have no idea why.
One thing to note, which seems kind like a no duh but I didn't even consider, is if you did the alliance balloon on a character and then do a faction change you don't get the horde balloon and you cannot do the horde quest on that character.
I was able to get the quest for this pet at level 10.
If you link this pet in chat, it show it as having battle pet stats... not sure if it's a bug or an odd sign of things to come?

I don't have the MoP expansion yet but i can still use some of the features that come with it like the account bound pets.
I have Alliance toons on one server and Horde toons on another and I found out by happy accident that any pet my Horde toon gets on their server my Alliance toon can get credit for on the other server and vice-versa.
No "Death-Flopping" into opposing capitol cities to get the pets I want... YaY!!!!!

I mention this here under the Horde Balloon entry because I assume this is the same for Alliance attempting to infiltrate Orgrimmar. Don't want anyone to corpse flop their way to the vendor only to find out they aren't visible!
