Finally got to fly, after many cancellations.
After 7 years continuously trying to get a flight, we wanted to launch from the Norwich site as lots to see picture opportunity wise with the castle & a number of cathedrals. Even though they still advertise the Norwich launch location, they no longer operate from this site. Finally got to fly from Mattishall golf club. The pilot & ground team were great, but like all their other launch sites all you’re going to see is flat fields & houses as Norfolk is flat & featureless! That’s why we wanted to fly from Norwich which they no longer use. We seemed to go around in a big circle so we didn’t travel very far which was a bit disappointing so same scenic view for most of the flight. As I said before the pilot & crew were great explaining everything & friendly. The landing was a hard three bumps so if you have any kind of back issue forget this activity. Nice to tick this finally off my bucket list, wish we could flown from Norwich which is why we booked in the first place 7 years ago. But at least we have now finally completed this activity.

Hi,
Seven years is an extraordinary amount of persistence, and we're genuinely pleased you finally got to take to the skies and can tick ballooning off your bucket list.
We are sorry, though, that the eventual flight wasn't quite the experience you'd originally envisaged. We completely understand that Norwich itself was part of the appeal when you first chose where to fly, and we appreciate your feedback regarding how that location is currently presented.
It's great to hear the pilot and ground crew looked after you so well on the day, and we'll make sure those comments are shared with them.
Thanks,
The Virgin Balloon Flights Team
Beautiful early morning flight
We had a beautiful early morning flight over Kent countryside. With our pilot, pointing out local places of interest.

Hey Kim!
Thank you, we're glad you had an incredible flight with us!
We hope we'll see you again in the not too distant future! :)

I was braver than I thought
Was disappointed at first that we weren’t flying from Canterbury in Kent and it was a effort to
Travel to hop farm in paddock wood and then when we arrived it was still doubtful but we finally got off the ground by 7.50 and well it was amazing
So glad we travelled to catch the balloon ride.
The views were incredible so clear and quite. The only trouble I had was getting in and out of the basket that was like watching a stranded giraffe legs everywhere. Why couldn’t you have a rope ladder it might have been easier
Anyway aside from that if you haven’t been on a balloon flight then do it.
It’s well worth it loved every moment of if it even the ruff landing lol

Hi June,
Oh bless you! We're so sorry that your flight was moved to one of our back up sites but we're so glad you still had an incredible time! We fully appreciate it can be a little disappointing when a flight has been moved and adds to the travel time.
As for getting in and out of the basket, we're sure you didn't look as bad as you thought ha ha! ;)
Despite the nuances, we're so glad to read that you had a lovely time.....it is a very fun and incredible experience and we truly hope we'll see you again for another....hopefully with a smoother landing next time :)

Worth getting up at 4.15 for.
Worth getting up at 4.15 for.
Flying from Welford Christmas Tree farm at 6.30 AM, on a sunny Sunday morning.
The team were great. Friendly and helpful, giving us a pre-flight safety talk, and pointing out places of interest during the flight.
We were " hands-on " inflating the envelope and with folding and storing on landing, which added to the experience.
I'm thinking that I will be back for more.

Hey Ken!
Yes a 4.15am wake up call is not fun at all but it sounds like it was well worth it! Sounds like you had a bit of an early morning work out too! We're so glad it all added to the experience though!
You are certainly welcome back for another flight....do pop us a call on 01952 212750 and we'll happily see what we can do for you as we do look after our Frequent Fliers ;)

Great experience
Had a virgin balloon ride on Friday 7/8/26 with my best friends as a belated birthday present.
Took off in Northamptonshire.
The pilot was very informative and friendly.
We had a perfect landing, after which we were offered Prosecco and oj and our balloon certificates.
Overall highly recommend . Luke and the team were brilliant.

Not enough stars
Not enough stars! What an incredible experience flying with the Virgin crew at the Bristol Balloon Festival. They looked after everything, the booking, safety briefings, the ground care and of course the pilot. Can’t wait to go again…!

Hi,
Not enough stars?! Careful, you'll have us asking Trustpilot for a sixth one!
What a place to fly too. We're delighted the whole team looked after you from booking right through to landing at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta. And we particularly like that you're already plotting the next one...
