Hot
Air Balloon Flights
The
hot air balloon ride will last about one hour but you will
need to allow 3-4 hours for the whole experience. You can
fly from any of our launch sites in Hampshire, Surrey or West
Sussex. When you meet on the launch site you will be checked
in by our groundcrew. After the passenger safety briefings
are completed the hot air balloon will be prepared and as
part of the experience you can if you wish help the crew,
when all the final safety checks are complete the adventure
begins.
Weather
Conditions
Hot
Air Ballooning is very weather dependent. We need light surface
winds, below 10 mph with no rain and good visibility. We always
obtain the latest weather forecasts before making a decision
to fly. Passenger safety and enjoyment are our prime considerations
so if conditions do force a cancellation we will rearrange
your trip for the next mutually convenient date.
What
Do I Wear ?
We
recommend you wear casual clothing suitable for a country
walk, including long trousers and flat shoes or walking boots.
Please bear in mind that fields may be wet or muddy. A hat
may be needed for those who are a little thin on top as the
burner gives out radiant heat. Temperatures in the air are
much the same as on the ground.
Are
There Any Restrictions On Who Can Fly?
There
are no age restrictions but you must be agile enough to climb
in and out of the basket and stand for the duration of the
flight. If you are in any doubt you should consult your GP.
You should advise us of any medical condition. Children should
be tall enough to see over the edge of the basket (1.2m) and
must be accompanied by an adult.
