Ballooning requires almost perfect conditions; light winds, no rain, and good visibility. Unfortunately the British climate doesn't always oblige!
We want your flight to be as enjoyable as possible, so please bear with us if it has to be cancelled due to bad weather.
We will reschedule your flight for the soonest possible date, at your convenience.
What shall I wear?
Don't wear your Sunday best for your balloon trip; it is best to wear trousers and sturdy boots or shoes. It is not too cold in the basket, as there is no resistance to the wind, and let's not forget that big bag of hot air over your head! However, it is wise to bring a jumper or fleece as it can become chilly on landing. You may want to bring cap to protect your head from the heat of the burners.

A question of weight
All balloons are weight loaded and it is very important to have all passengers weights, especially in the summer months when the temperature is higher. If you are 19 stone (120kg) or over you must fly in the morning when it is cooler, or pay 50% surcharge. (This is not relevant when booking an exclusive flight) |
