What to do before your balloon flight

The weather throughout the UK is notorious and although the “Met Centre” is accurate for most of the time, there can be local variations which cannot be accounted for when predicting suitability for a Hot Air Balloon flight. We always give you a telephone number to call the night before your hot air balloon flight, but we stress that this can, in many cases, only be a guide. The only way our pilots can be really accurate is by having everyone ready to go on the field in the morning.

We do not aim to inconvenience our passengers nor do we wish to disappoint them, if your fully qualified pilot feels that it is a good idea to meet in the morning, he is confident that the flight will happen, but unfortunately, particularly in our country, the weather can make a fool of any forecaster, when this happens the flight must be cancelled on the field. Remember that our pilots are just as disappointed as you but they are dedicated to your safety and enjoyment.
