Fantastic Ballooning Experience in Surrey
Very well organised on the day. Great pilot (Chris). Weather conditions were stunning. Office staff were flexible when we had to rebook and we accidentally allowed the voucher to expire. All round a great experience!

The whole experience
The whole experience, the pilot and his team were very friendly and helpful but professional. They made me feel comfortable and not nervous.
Dunsfold is a great place to take off from. Good parking and toilets. Easy
to find.

Hi,
Nerves gone before you'd even left the ground – that's exactly what we like to hear! Sounds like the pilot and crew struck the perfect balance between friendly and professional, and we're glad Dunsfold got your seal of approval too.
Thanks,

60th Birthday present
It was the most amazing experience.I would highly recommend booking a morning flight as apparently there more likely to happen. We all helped set up and put away and a glass of fizz when we had done was great
Tom,Andy and Reese were all very knowledgeable and put everyone at ease I'd do it again tomorrow .

Antwort von Virgin Balloon Flights
Hi,
60th birthday today, another balloon flight tomorrow... now that's a celebration plan we can get behind!
We'll make sure Tom, Andy and Reese see your lovely comments. It sounds like they kept everyone smiling from setting up right through to that well-earned glass of fizz.
Thanks,
The Virgin Balloon Flights Team
Amazing experience! Would highly recommend
My friend and I did the Virgin balloon ride yesterday and what a fabulous experience!
Chris and his crew were absolutely amazing. They made the whole experience fun and we felt safe for the whole time. Chris was very knowledgeable about the areas we were flying over and made the whole journey very interesting. The takeoff and landing was incredibly smooth to the point that I didn’t even realise we had landed. I would highly recommend this experience! thank you very much, Chris, the crew and Rodney the dog

Hi,
A landing so smooth you didn't even realise you'd landed?! Chris will be very happy with that!
We'll make sure he and the crew see your fantastic comments – and, of course, we'll ensure Rodney gets the recognition he clearly deserves too.
Thanks,

We were so delighted when this flight…
We were so delighted when this flight went ahead as we had tried about 5 times before but each time was cancelled. It was WELL WORTH the wait! Good clear communication, a very experienced and good humoured pilot - and a thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish. About an hour in the sky in total - lovely views despite the drought this summer - peaceful and beautiful. Would love to do it again for sure. Landed safely in a field and good fun all helping pack up the balloon and enjoying a prosecco before the minibus collected us to return us to the take off location.

Hi,
Five attempts to get airborne... and after finally doing it, you'd happily start all over again?! That's quite the endorsement!
We're delighted the pilot kept you smiling, the skies delivered those peaceful summer views, and you enjoyed the full adventure right through to packing away and Prosecco.
Thanks,

Hi,
Already planning next year's adventure? We LOVE that! Sounds like the crew gave you a pretty convincing reason to see where else a balloon might take you.
Here's to round two – somewhere a little further afield!

Peaceful, tranquil & great experience
Great experience, once in a lifetime. Our pilot Adrian Brown was lovely. He engaged and was so informative before during and after the flight.
A long awaited experience but worth it in the end.

Hi,
Once in a lifetime... although Adrian might just have you tempted to make it twice! We're delighted he kept you informed and entertained from start to finish, and that your long-awaited day in the skies delivered.
Thanks,

Wonderful experience
We highly recommend flying with Tom from Tissington - the communication before the flight, and the flight itself was seamless. He was happy to answer all questions and was so informative about the whole process. It was fascinating to see the balloon inflate and how it all packs away at the end. The actual flight was so smooth, breathtaking scenery and sun rise on a beautiful clear day. I would highly recommend a hot air balloon experience to anybody, but especially flying with Tom Hook and his team who looked after us so well!

Antwort von Virgin Balloon Flights
Hi,
We think Tom might need a bigger fan club! From answering every question on the ground to delivering sunrise views over Tissington, it sounds like he and the team absolutely nailed it.
We'll make sure they see this glowing recommendation.

What a fantastic flight
What a fantastic flight
We took to the sky with Nobby the pilot and 14 others in the balloon early on a sunday morning,
The pilot was very friendly and intuitive with information and story's of his past flights and career, very interesting.
The ground crew were equally great especially the Welsh guy Glen he made sure we had a great experience also.
The flight was perfect. And a soft landing to finish.
Thanks for the fossil Nobby for my wife Mandy its little things like that that gives the experience a personal touch we will be booking again not to far in the future.

Antwort von Virgin Balloon Flights
Hi,
A perfect flight, a soft landing AND a fossil for Mandy – Nobby clearly knows it's the little things that make a big adventure!
We'll make sure Nobby and Glen see your fantastic comments. And if you're already planning another flight, we'd say they've done a pretty good job!
Thanks,

We would not recommend buying a balloon voucher
When you buy a voucher for a balloon flight you are buying uncertainty. The flights get cancelled regularly and the venue gets changed at very short notice. Obviously this is weather related but ultimately we needed to be a lot further from home by 5.45 in the morning. We had switched to an AM flight as all the PM flights were cancelled. You help set the balloon up for flying and you help pack it up at the end. This adds considerable time to the event. When you land you are done distance from where you take off and you go back via minibus this took about 30mins. Another customer on our flight had booked Hatfield House as the starting venue as had we. They were told only 1% of those flights ever happen mostly being moved at short notice. All in all not worth it for us. Landscape we flew over wS not interesting, and flight wS low due to winds. Would not recommend.
14. August 2026
Antwort von Virgin Balloon Flights
Hi,
We're sorry that, having now experienced ballooning, you came away feeling it wasn't for you.
You're absolutely right that ballooning involves a degree of uncertainty. Weather and wind direction determine whether we can fly, which launch site can be used and ultimately where the balloon will land. Setting up, packing away and the journey back to the launch site are also all part of the wider ballooning experience, and we appreciate that this made for a much longer morning than you had anticipated.
We would, however, like to clarify that the suggestion that only 1% of flights from Hatfield House operate is not a statistic we recognise as accurate.
We appreciate your candid feedback, particularly around how clearly the practicalities of the day are understood before customers arrive. We're sorry that, on this occasion, the overall experience wasn't one you would recommend.
Thanks,
The Virgin Balloon Flights Team
Awesome experience
Everything went well from booking to the actual flight. It was absolutely awesome. The pilot and his staff were kind, considerate and helpful. This was backed up by exemplary knowledge of all aspects of balloon flights.
