Bought as a Christmas gift
Bought as a Christmas gift for my partner as she had always wanted to go on a hot air balloon flight. And she loved it , we both went and from start to finish was well looked after by the pilot .
It was a fantastic experience and was greeted with a goblet of bubbly after we landed.
I would recommend going on it if it's something you're interested in doing.

It was a beautiful evening over Oxford and we enjoyed it immensely. We were fortunate with no cancellation but were disappointed that the venue was changed by the local council not Virgin.

Hi Carol,
We're so pleased you enjoyed your flight with us over Oxford! 🎈
We'll happily take the credit for the flight... but sadly not for the venue change! 😄 As you mentioned, that was completely outside our control, but we're delighted it didn't stop you having a memorable experience with us!
Thanks for taking the time to share your review, and we hope to welcome you aboard again someday! You know where we are :)

Absolutely loved every minute of it
Absolutely loved every minute of it. Our pilot Gary was brilliant and explained every step of the flight making the whole experience very relaxing and enjoyable.
Helping to prepare the balloon for the flight and packing everything up afterwards adds so much fun to the day and really makes you feel like you’re part of the team.
Do it, you’ll love it!!

Hey Tony!
Well... we're not going to argue with that!
We'll make sure Gary sees your lovely review - although we may have to warn him his head might end up bigger than the balloon! 😉
We're so glad you enjoyed getting stuck in too. Everyone's an honorary crew member by the end of it all!
Thanks for flying with us, and for giving everyone else the perfect advice... just do it! 🎈

Paddock Wood balloon flight
The pilot Damon Bridger and his two colleagues were very knowledgeable and skillful in setting up the balloon. The flight was smooth and seamless. Many landmarks were highlighted to us on the flight. We felt at ease and enjoyed every minute.

Fabulous experience!
I wa lucky enough to be given a voucher for my 50th birthday. I had always wanted to fly in a hot air balloon and I wasn't disappointed! The whole experience was perfect, from booking to landing. The night before, I had an email telling me that the flightline had been updated. I rang the number and was given clear instructions from the recorded message. It was a very early start but was worth it. The pilot (Gary) was very professional and had a reassuring, calm manner. The flight was so peaceful, I would have happily stayed up there all morning. I wasn't so keen on the landing!🤣 I would say that you need to be relatively fit and agile just to get in and out of the basket. I'm hoping that I'll get the chance to do it again in the future. Thank you for a fabulous experience!😍

We feel privileged that you celebrated such a special milestone up in the air with us! What a way to celebrate turning 50! 🎈
We're delighted your balloon flight lived up to a lifelong dream - that's a lot to live up to! As for the landing... let's just say that's all part of the adventure! 🤣 We hope it didn't put you off as we'd love to welcome you back again.....60th next time maybe? :)
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, and here's hoping we'll see you back in a basket with us again one day!

Absolutely breathtaking, memorable experience.I would like to say a huge thank you to the extremely knowledgable and helpful crew: Keith, Tim and our pilot Peter, you were amazing. And helping to get the balloon ready and to pack it away with our fellow passengers really brings you all together for that moment in time that you have shared. Highly recommended.

Hi Helen,
Now that's the kind of review we love to read!
We'll make sure Keith, Tim and Peter see this - you've probably made their day! They're a pretty great bunch, but don't tell them we said that... they'll never fit back in the basket!😉
Thanks for coming along for the adventure, and for recommending us. We hope the ballooning bug has well and truly bitten!

Nothing wrong with the experience it…
Nothing wrong with the experience it was the location. Disappointing just seeing farmers fields and housing estates. If you book this be careful of the location you choose. It was not the thrill I was expecting and to be honest not worth the money.

Hi Ali,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review.
We're so sorry to read that the scenery wasn't quite what you were hoping for. As hot air balloons travel wherever the wind takes them, every flight is unique and we can't guarantee a particular route or view.
That said, we do appreciate your feedback and we're glad to hear that you still enjoyed the experience.
Please do get in touch with us on 01952 212750 and we'll happily offer a discount off your next flight with us as we'd love to earn those 5 stars next time! :)
Best wishes,

After two cancellations of evening…
After two cancellations of evening flights due to poor weather, we switched to a morning flight which was sublime. It was an early start (0415) to pick up my daughter and arrive at the site as described clearly on the recorded message the evening before. There we met our pilot Mike and his crew. We helped lay out the balloon and took off. The flight over Bath was fascinating and Mike explained the wind layers and his methods of control. The landing was very impressive. Gentle and precise and we helped fold up the canopy followed by a celebratory bubbly and a minibus back to our starting point. Well managed throughout and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone.

Hi Peter,
What an amazing review - thank you! 🎈
We're so pleased you and your daughter got to enjoy a beautiful morning flight after the weather had other ideas for the evening ones. It sounds like the early alarm was well worth it!
We'll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to Mike and the crew. From take-off to that celebratory bubbly, it sounds like they helped make it a morning to remember.
Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to see you floating over the countryside with us again one day!

4 years in the making
Having waited nearly 4 years to fly it was worth the wait.
The process of having to rebook every time your flight is cancelled is a pain as I'm sure you could automatically be transferred to another flight but if it's up to you to do then it's your responsibility if you fail and then miss out, losing your payment.
Anyway the flight, it was amazing to finally get up above Shrewsbury and see the town from above, you do have to put a bit of work in to get the balloon ready and put it away afterwards but the flight is so peaceful and the scenery stunning so it's worth it. Our pilot and ground crew were brilliant, informative and funny and getting back to base was easy. Would definitely recommend and would do it again.

Wonderful balloon flight.
Wonderful balloon flight.
After the disappointment of a couple of cancelled flights due to the weather, this one went ahead as scheduled. The booking process was simple and the recorded instructions were clear and helpful.
The evening flight was well organised and very professional, credit to Mike and has crew for making it such an enjoyable experience. We would recommend anyone to take a flight.

Hearing you say you'd recommend a flight is about as good as it gets. Mike and the crew will be chuffed to know they helped make the evening so memorable, and we're glad everything came together for such an enjoyable flight.

Great experience and thoroughly recommended
My family bought this experience as a birthday gift 12 months ago. Due to my own availability and having the correct flying conditions I finally achieved ‘lift off’ on my fourth attempt of booking. It was worth the wait. An amazing experience being involved in getting the ballon ready and inflated right through to the flight itself and helping to pack it all away. The views were worth the very early start to the day - and so peaceful. The ‘pilot’ Chris, and Rachel (his #2) were excellent and so was the banter and commentary.
I was a little disappointed when the venue was moved slightly further away as this added to extra driving time etc but it wasn’t an issue in the end and the ‘country driving’ (being a Londoner) was really enjoyable.

Hi,
We love that even the country roads turned out to be part of the adventure! It sounds like Chris and Rachel made sure the early start was more than worthwhile, and getting hands on with the balloon is something we think makes the experience even more memorable. Four attempts is a fair bit of patience, so we're thrilled it proved to be worth the wait.
Thanks,
The Virgin Balloon Flights Team
