Neil,
Thank you for the brilliant review!
We'd love to say we arranged the beautiful evening especially for you... but we have to give Mother Nature credit for that one! 😄
We're so pleased you had such a fantastic time with us and that our pilot and the rest of the group helped make it an experience to remember.
Thanks again for flying with us, and we're delighted you decided to take the leap... now the only question is, when are you coming back?

What an amazing experience
What an amazing experience! The pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, pointing out landmarks as we drifted along. The flight was so peaceful, weather was perfect and so beautiful to see the early morning sun. Take off and landing were very smooth better than I was expecting lol.
It was great to be hands on, getting involved making the balloon ready to inflate then help fold it up and pack it away at the end .. makes you feel totally immersed and part of the team! The whole team were friendly and made you feel at ease and safe at all times.
After the flight we had a glass of bucks fizz and were given our certificates before being transported back to our cars.
The early morning start was so worth it .. Thank you for making my dream a reality!

Jennie - we're so pleased we could help tick a dream off your bucket list – that's exactly what we love to hear!
It sounds like you got the full VIP treatment too... from becoming an honorary member of the ground crew to enjoying a well-earned glass of fizz afterwards! We should probably start handing out employee badges to everyone who helps pack the balloon away ;)
Thank you again for choosing to fly with us, and we hope we'll see you back in a basket with us again one day!

Hey!
Thank you for the very nice review ;)
We're so glad the flight was everything you hoped for and you got to enjoy some incredible scenery! A smooth take off and landing is exactly what our pilots aim for!

Worthwhile experience
The whole experience was well worth it. We had two cancellations due to weather conditions before finally getting a morning flight. We were so glad we went. It was a beautiful experience, being up in the morning sky, savouring the stillness. My husband is afraid of heights, but he barely sensed that he was 1000 feet up in the air because the movement was so gentle, and the basket very secure.
Our pilot was excellent and landed us very well.

Hi Hannah,
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
They do say the best things come to those who wait... although we're fairly sure they weren't talking about the British weather! We're delighted it was worth the wait and that you were finally able to enjoy such a peaceful morning in the skies with us :)
It's also fantastic to hear that your husband discovered hot air balloons have a rather clever way of making even those who aren't keen on heights forget they're high above the ground. We hear that quite a lot, and it's always lovely to know another nervous flyer has come back with a smile.
We hope to welcome you both back for another adventure someday! Just get in touch and we'll sort you a cheeky discount!

We have been trying to book a balloon…
We have been trying to book a balloon trip for an evening....no luck at all....plenty for mornings. they don't tell you the difficulty in booking when you buy vouchers to see the availability...the whole booking process is a farce, and if you cant get a booking in 12 months (i'm not holding my breath) you cant get a refund, bearing in mind they don't fly in winter. id give it 1 star but see what happens!

Hi Chris,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and we're sorry to hear about your frustration.
Evening flights are naturally more popular unfortunately and, as a result, they can fill more quickly when new flight dates are released.
We do fully appreciate that this can be disappointing if you're only able to fly in the evening. We do release flight dates on a rolling basis throughout the season rather than all at once, however we now have more flexibility!
Our vouchers are valid for 12 months to allow passengers the opportunity to book throughout a full flying season, and if a flight is cancelled by us due to the weather, we automatically extend the voucher for 6 months from the date of the cancellation to ensure you don't lose out on flying opportunities.
We'd really like the opportunity to look into your account and booking history and see if there's anything we can do to help you.
If you could contact our Customer Services Team on 01952 212750 with your voucher number and security code and we'll be happy to help.
We hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,
We're sorry ballooning couldn't be part of your brother's birthday after all, but we're so pleased the day finally arrived and proved worth the wait. It's lovely to hear the pilot helped make it such an enjoyable flight.

Exhilarating hot air balloon ride…
I bought my voucher just over a year ago and had 6 cancellations due to wrong weather conditions. Finally got airborne on 7th booking. Originally books for Hatfield House but was transferred to Biggleswade due to wind direction. This was a bit disappointing as surrounding area less interesting from above. Overall though the flight experience was exhilarating! Well worth the wait and getting up for a 5.30am meet. Our pilot was very experienced, we had a safe, smooth, flight and landing. Plus a glass of Prosecco after to celebrate. So glad I got to fly in a hot air balloon great experience!

Odpowiedź od Virgin Balloon Flights
Hi,
We'd say a 5.30am alarm is much easier to forgive when it ends with a balloon flight and a glass of Prosecco! We're so pleased your seventh booking was finally the one, and that our pilot gave you such a smooth, safe flight.
Thanks,
The Virgin Balloon Flights Team
A magical experience!
Great communication- I received an email confirmation that the flight was on and a clear message was left on the flight line, with additional useful tips.
Nobby was utterly brilliant- a very experienced, highly skilled and knowledgable pilot, pointing out useful places and areas we were flying over or could see in the distance. I felt incredibly safe with him navigating and controlling such an enormous and powerful balloon. We had the most fabulous flight and our landing was seamless. Nobby also shared many entertaining stories with us as we enjoyed our post-flight drink. I would highly recommend flying with him.
Steve and Glynn who were part of the team were so friendly, experienced, knowledgeable and interesting to talk to as well.
Thank you all for making my balloon flight so magical, memorable and special.

Hi,
We'd say balloons might bring people to the skies, but it's our crews who make them want to come back. Nobby, Steve and Glynn will be chuffed to read this. Thanks for taking the time to recognise the whole team.
Thanks,
The Virgin Balloon Flights Team
Our pilot Chris was hilarious
Our pilot Chris was hilarious. The flight was a little short - just 45 minutes but the wind direction changed a lot. We were so low that we could see rabbits running about - as well as deer, a stork flying and fish in a pool. It was also eerily quiet up there. The landing was eventful but we were safe. Such fun!
This was our first booking with the voucher so easy for us but one had to not go as she found out she was pregnant the night before.

Hi,
Rabbits, deer, a stork, fish... it sounds like you had the VIP tour of the countryside! We'll make sure Chris sees your lovely comments too. A pilot who keeps everyone laughing is worth his weight in gold.
