How To Choose A Balloon Flight Company

Before you buy your flight, it's important you know which Hot Air Balloon company to trust.

So below, we've set out a few tips on what to look for when choosing the right operator.

• Location: do they offer a large choice of locations? and do they fly from a location convenient to you?
• Interest: do they launch from a decent site of historical importance or beauty, centrally located or nearby to attractions?
• Luxury: do champagne toasts, presentation voucher packs, first-flight certificates and insurance come as standard?
• Service: do they promise a great customer experience?
• Licences: are they licenced by the Civil Aviation Authority?
• Accreditation: Do they belong to the British Association of Balloon Operators? Are they NFU and CLA members? Do they meet the safety standards demanded by local authorities? Are they accredited by national media companies?
• Convenience: do they offer free transport back to the launch site when required?
• Safety: are their pilots the most experienced and well-trained in the business? 
• Their fleet. is it a modern fleet equipped with the most up-to-date safety equipment and on-board in-flight photo systems?
• Online Booking: do they offer online booking and convenient 24/7 access to your booking details?
• iVouchers: do they offer iVouchers for that gift you forgot?
