Great location at Rutland Water
Great location at Rutland Water. Matt and the crew looked after us extremely well. Would recommend for all ages. Great shared experience.

Hi,
That's one of our favourite things about ballooning – seeing different generations sharing the same adventure together. Throw in Rutland Water as the backdrop and Matt and the crew looking after you, and it sounds like a pretty good day in the skies!
Thanks,
The Virgin Balloon Flights Team

What an amazing experience.
What an amazing experience.
Our pilot Russell Collins was very knowledgeable about the area, pointing out all of the landmarks. We took off from Evesham on the 6am flight 07/08/26. The only thing we were a bit scared about was the landing, but we had nothing to worry about because it was really smooth. To see the sunrise whilst up in the sky was something else. Very peaceful ,felt like you were floating in the air.
Helping set up the balloon and putting it away was really quite fun, the glass of Prosecco with orange juice after it was all packed away was much appreciated. Would highly recommended this experience, one for the bucket list. Just talking to friends about booking another flight. We booked the flight last year, but it was cancelled a few times, also cancelled a few times this year due to the winds, we were booking evening flight, this was the first flight we booked for a morning and I’m really glad we did go on the morning, it was well worth the wait. You are told in plenty of time when flights are cancelled, and really easy to rebook. Thank you Virgin for a wonderful, unforgettable experience and thank you to Russell our pilot for a wonderful flight.

Hi,
All that worry about the landing... and Russell goes and makes it look easy! We're so pleased your first morning booking rewarded you with a sunrise like that, and we'll make sure Russell sees your fantastic comments.
The fact you're already talking about another flight might just mean you've caught the ballooning bug!
Thanks,
The Virgin Balloon Flights Team
It was worth the wait
I had waited 8 years for lift off and it was one of the best experiences of my life, especially as part of the Bristol Balloon Fiesta. The Virgin team were helpful and reassuring making sure my experience was one to be remembered always. Tp

Hi,
Eight years waiting for lift-off... and then you get to do it at the Bristol Balloon Fiesta! That's quite a way to finally take to the skies. We're delighted the team looked after you so well and helped make such a long-awaited flight everything it deserved to be.
Thanks,

The wait for the balloon ride was…
The wait for the balloon ride was absolutely worth it! The pilot Gary was amazing pointing out all the different places around that we could see and what different buildings are/were. The journey was really lovely with a lovely celebratory end to the journey. It was like celebrating all our birthdays again (it was a birthday present for a few of us given a little while ago) the views were amazing and it was so clear you could see anything completely different to being able to see out of a tiny window plane. I loved learning a little bit about how the balloon works as well. Would really recommend!

Hi,
Any birthday present that lets you celebrate all over again gets our vote! It sounds like Gary gave you the full guided tour from the sky too. We'll make sure he sees your lovely comments, and thanks for such a fantastic recommendation.

Absolutely brilliant morning. A gorgeous day meant that we could see for miles. We were pleasantly surprised by how smooth the flight was. Great fun and a glass of fizz at the end.
The team were great; big thanks to Gary, Rob and Lucas.

It's amazing how something involving a giant balloon and a roaring burner can feel quite so peaceful once you're up there! Sounds like the weather really showed off for you too. We'll make sure Gary, Rob and Lucas get their very well-deserved thanks.

After three years of waiting for the right weather and finally getting a flight date, today was the day—and it was absolutely worth it! The experience with Virgin Hot Air Balloon was incredible from start to finish. The views were breathtaking, the team was professional and friendly, and it truly was an unforgettable adventure. Well worth the wait, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering a hot air balloon flight.

Worth the wait.
Really enjoyed it, getting stuck in to set up and break down was great fun. Up in the air was very peaceful. Loved every minute of it. What a great experience. Would highly recommend. This was our fourth attempt due to previous cancellations, but worth the wait.

Hi,
From getting stuck in on the ground to doing absolutely nothing but floating peacefully above it... that's ballooning in a nutshell! We're glad attempt number four was the one and that you loved every minute.

The crew were amazing involved us all in everything from getting balloon ready to helping packing it up, the flight was so incredible our pilot told us about what we can could see and answered questions with a smile, when we landed which was smooth he gave us all a drink and certificate and asked each and everyone of us how we got the flight, I can honestly say it was the best experience I have had, thanks to all the crew would do it again and recommend anyone who's thinking of doing this experience do it your love it x

Hi Joann!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We're delighted to hear that you had such an incredible experience with us! It's fantastic that the crew made you feel so involved, and we're so pleased your pilot helped make the flight even more memorable with his local knowledge about the sights ;)
Hearing that this was the best experience you've ever had really means the world to us and we'll be sure to pass your kind comments on to the pilot and crew.
Thank you for flying with us and for leaving this awesome review!
The Virgin Balloon Flights Team
Amazing experience!
Amazing experience! I was a little nervous before taking off, but the whole experience exceeded my expectations. Floating quietly above the countryside was incredibly relaxing, and the scenery was beautiful. The pilot - Peter, and the crew, were knowledgeable and welcoming, making the day even more enjoyable! I would definitely do it again and recommend it to friends and family ☺️ (one thing to keep in mind is that you either have to be extremely lucky with the weather, or go through few cancellations before you get up there, but it’s definitely worth the wait! 🤩)

Hey Klaudia!
Thank you so much for your lovely review!
We're delighted to hear we managed to turn those pre-flight nerves into a big smile (and hopefully a bit of balloon fever too!)
Peter and the crew will be thrilled to hear your kind words and we'll be sure to pass them on.
As for the weather... let's just say Mother Nature is our very picky Operations Manager! 😄 She likes to keep us on our toes, but as you've discovered, when she finally gives us the green light, it's well worth the wait.
Thanks again for flying with us, and we'll have a basket ready for you whenever you're ready for round two!
