AMAZING!!
AMAZING!!
We flew as the sun was rising and it was breathtaking.
The pilot, Pete Philpot, was fabulous. Super interaction during the flight and the ground crew were so friendly. It was great to be involved with the packing away of the balloon at the end.
Do not hesitate to book a balloon flight!

Hi Tracey,
A sunrise flight with Pete and a spot of balloon packing afterwards? That’s the full experience, complete with a surprise arm workout! 💪🎈
We’re so glad you loved the views and enjoyed meeting Pete and his crew. Thanks for the brilliant recommendation, we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on!

Great take off spot in Bath Victoria Park and Mike was a superb pilot with seamless take off and landing.

Hi Mike,
Victoria Park is a rather lovely place to take off! We’re glad Mike gave you such a smooth flight and landing. He makes it look easy, but please don’t tell him we said that or we’ll never hear the end of it 😄🎈
Thanks for flying with us!

First time experiencing this and what an experience. The pilot Peter and his crew Luke and Steve were amazing. Great communication and showcasing skills.
Easy to book and constant updates and active phone lines for any problems and cancellations. Perfect weather and views.
Thank you very much Peter, Luke and Steve. Would definitely recommend.

Hi Cara,
What a way to experience ballooning for the first time! We’re so glad Peter, Luke and Steve made it a brilliant one. We’ll pass on your thanks, though we may have to remind them that they can’t put “perfect weather” on their CV 😄🎈
It’s lovely to hear that you found booking was easy and the updates kept you in the loop. Thank you for recommending us! We really appreciate it!

Balloon evening flight
The pilot was informative and you felt at ease. The flight in the balloon was stunning with the views.

Hi John,
Thank you for the lovely review!
We’re glad your pilot helped you feel at ease so you could take in those stunning evening views. We’d love to take credit for the scenery, but the countryside did most of the work there 🌅

Great experience
good flow of information regarding the arrangements for the flight.Pleasant and efficient staff.
Locally felt in very safe hands with Matt and his team. Very professional approach to flight and instructions and information given to passengers very clear and helpful to get maximum enjoyment from the flight

Hi Keith,
Thank you for the lovely review!
We’re glad everything was clear from the first flight update to Matt’s instructions on the day. He and the team make it all look effortless, which is quite impressive when their transport is a giant basket with no steering wheel 🎈
We’re delighted you felt in safe hands and could enjoy every minute of the flight.

A fantastic morning ballooning and very well organised. The Pilot Chris Aindow was really friendly and talked us through everything and pointed out lots of interesting places during the flight. I would absolutely do this again and thoroughly recommend.

NEVER BOOK A BALLOON FLIGHT WITH VIRGIN
NEVER BOOK A BALLOON FLIGHT THROUGH VIRGIN - EVER
Appalling service (or rather, complete lack of service) received from Virgin Balloon Flights. What was supposed to be a special celebration for my honeymoon, purchased in 2022, has turned into a multi-year saga of endless cancellations, financial exploitation, and abysmal customer care.
The history of this booking is utterly disgraceful. Since 2022, this flight has been rebooked and cancelled numerous times. Understanding that ballooning is weather-dependent, I remained patient. I even paid an additional fee to upgrade to weekend flights to ensure we could actually take this trip. Yet, every single time, the company failed to deliver.
The final insult came when I discovered that my voucher had been marked as "expired." My last booking attempt was in August, after which operations closed down for the winter season. It is logical for me not to book a flight during months when flights do not operate. When I attempted to call and book yet again in January, I was met with another barrier, lack of suitable slots. I then requested to have a refund but this also was refused. I called a few months ago and found the vouchers were marked as expired, I was offered a "deal" to pay more money just to have more tickets and the vague "possiblity" of a flight. This is frankly insulting.
I submitted a formal complaint in July 2026 - it's now almost October with no reply. This doesn't surprise me with the quality of service this company offers.
Do not give them any money they will take it and run. You have been warned.

Hi,
Thank you for your review.
We’re sorry to read how disappointed you're feeling and that the balloon flight you planned for your honeymoon has still not happened after several attempts. We fully appreciate how frustrating and upsetting weather cancellations can be when the flight is to celebrate a special occasion.
We take your statement that you submitted a complaint in July and have not received a reply seriously. That is not the service we want you to experience and we would appreciate it if you could call us on 01952 212750 or email us at customerservice@virginballoonflights.co.uk with your voucher details so that we can look into this further for you.
Unfortunately, we cannot currently identify your account from this review, so we cannot check your cancellation history, voucher dates or complaint, or explain the decision made on your refund request so we look forward to hearing from you so that we can have the opportunity to hopefully turn things around for you.
For clarity, our flying season generally runs from March to October each year, but a voucher’s expiry date is a book by date. You can book during winter for an available flight later in the flying season.
When we cancel a booked flight, we extend the voucher so there are at least six months from that cancellation to book another flight.
A weekend upgrade gives access to weekend flight dates, subject to availability. Unfortunately, it cannot guarantee that a flight will go ahead, as our pilots must make the final decision based on safe flying conditions.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best of three!
Peter Philpott was an excellent pilot, he was informative, and carefully explained what was happening every step of the way. He also involved us throughout the launch and landing process and was firm but fair with his instructions/requests.
This was my third got air balloon experience and was the best so far, particularly the gentle landing.

Hi Mr Palmer,
Three balloon flights and this one takes the top spot? We’ll try not to let it go to our heads, there’s only so much room in the basket! 🎈
We’re glad you enjoyed getting involved, and that Peter kept everyone in the loop from launch to that lovely gentle landing. We’ll pass your kind words on to him, it will make his day! 😊
Thanks again and you're welcome back anytime for Flight No 4!

Totally enjoyed the whole experience
Totally enjoyed the whole experience, not a good passenger on a standard flight so was very surprised how much i enjoyed and learnt on the mornings flight. I think encouraging customers to assist in take off and packing away balloon was very good as you get first hand experience on how much work is involved in getting a flight airbourne!!! Had a great morning thank you Mike our pilot for the flight🤩
