What's included
A balloon flight is unlike other forms of flying; your visibility is through 360 degrees and your flight feels uninhibited. A model world appears below, familiar landmarks take on new perspectives, whether you are close to the ground viewing wildlife, or up amongst the clouds marvelling at their powdery appearance, you will be intrigued by this aerial mystery tour.
A Hot Air Balloon moves with the wind direction and whatever the wind speed you feel no movement or breeze, plus you have the radiant heat from the burners; even in mid-winter you are far warmer in the air than on the ground. Binoculars, video or camera are a must. Bring plenty of film.

Booking your event

A Typical Hot Air Balloon Flight
A balloon experience with Ballooning4all is so much more than just showing up, doing it, and going home. For one thing it's a very weather–dependant activity,
so the first part is simply to contact the operator a few hours before your scheduled flight to check that it's going ahead today.
If the news is good, soon after arrival you'll be helping the crew ready the balloon for the flight: it has to be laid out first, then it's inflated with a petrol
driven fan before the burners are fired up. During the flight you'll be standing very close to the pilot – in relative silence – so it will be easy for him/her
to explain what is being done and to point out the local landmarks. The landing is an exciting experience after the serenity of the flight, and then there's the journey
back to your launch site – which can be quite a few miles.
Validity / Cancellation
The voucher will remain valid as long as an attempt to book the flight has been made within the 12 month period. You must contact the operator
using the details printed on your voucher, to arrange a date for your event prior to the end of the 12 month period expiring.
Balloon flights are in the UK are frequently cancelled due to adverse weather conditions, therefore you may not always be able to fly on your chosen date, a certain degree of flexibility is recommended to allow for the UK climate.
Unless otherwise mentioned in the advertisement, hot air balloon baskets, typically hold up to 6 people, therefore you will be sharing your experience
with other passengers, this normally serves to enhance your day out.

"I kept being told to enter a valid address line 1 before I could pay by card - but there WAS a valid address line 1. I only managed to complete the transaction when my daughter - as a last resort - inserted a comma after the line 1 address. This address was inserted automatically, so there if a comma is required to proceed, this ought to have also been inserted automatically. I would have aborted the purchase and gone elsewhere if my daughter hand't just happened to be at home... "
