The Champagne Balloon Thrill

A Champagne Balloon Flight is the perfect surprise gift for that special occasion - Birthday Presents, Valentine Surprises, Wedding Lists, or Christmas Gifts!

Your Thrilling Experience
Flying as gentle as a bird above some of England's most beautiful countryside at heights of up to 3,000 feet, and gazing down at famous landmarks in comfort, style and safety. Marvel at breath-taking views and the thrill of floating effortlessly with the wind will leave everlasting memories of this unique experience.

You will also be presented with a commemorative flight certificate and some centres provide the opportunity to purchase an in flight photo.

Important information
Minimum height is 4'6'' and maximum weight 17 stone. Minimum age varies from 7 to 8 years old depending on location. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Ballooning is not suitable for pregnant women and medical conditions must be declared.

Length of activity
The experience normally lasts for three to four hours, including one hour to inflate the balloon, around an hour in the air and one hour for packing the balloon away and returning to the launch site.

Weather Conditions
Ballooning is very weather dependent - it is crucial you call the centre before your flight. In event of postponement you will be offered an alternative date and may also request an alternative ballooning venue (please contact the operator to arrange).

Availability
Ballooning takes place at around dusk and/or dawn on weekdays mainly from March/April to October/November subject to weather conditions. During the winter months ballooning can be subject to additional inconvenient cancellations due to poor weather.

What to wear
Wear trousers, long sleeves and sensible footwear (no high heels please), and bring a hat as the heat from the burner can be intense. Please do not wear loose scarves or jewellery. Bear in mind that launch and landing sites can be muddy.

Friends & Family
Spectators are welcome to watch the launch (a wonderful sight) and wave you off. A pair of binoculars or a camera will come in handy.

Extra information
As all airborne activities are weather dependant, your voucher entitles you to a minimum of five attempts at rebooking, should any cancellation/s prevent it going ahead. After this you are free to exchange to an alternative experience if you'd prefer.
