in a balloon just for the
two you. Surely there can
be nothing more romantic
than that? Maybe you're

together to send a couple
you love on a superb
flight in a hot air
balloon? Whatever the
occasion it's sure to be
a case of love in the air

gracefully in the
skies.Flights take place
in the mornings during
the week. Expect an early
start though as sunrise

meteorological conditions
but don't worry your
bleary early morning eyes
will soon be wide open at
the incredible views
you'll enjoy from the
basket of your hot air
balloon. The two of you
will be amazed by the
silence of the flight.
Yes the burners are hot
and loud but most of the
time you are in a
mesmerising silence -
ideal if you've got
something important to
say!Look over the edge of
the hot air basket if you
dare (during these rides
you'll be anything up to
3000ft off the ground
after all!) and you lucky
two will be able to see
the mist giving way to
the morning sunshine
witnessing the world
waking up whilst you
drift slowly and surely
by. It's almost a
dreamlike floatation with
a feeling of
weightlessness. It's all
very stable too as you're
moving with the air so
there's no sensation of
wind. Hear the birdsong
listen to dogs barking
and even make out the
voices from people below.
Everyone loves spotting a
hot air balloon in flight
so you two can expect
plenty of waves as you
float past!With a pilot
and just two people on
the passenger list these

truly superb. Intimate
and romantic thrilling
and breathtaking there
can really be no better
way to celebrate. Just
imagine the look on the
faces of your loved ones
if you've organised this
as a surprise. Imagine
turning up on the morning
of the flight and
watching their faces as
the reality of what they
are about to do
unfolds.Once you've got
over the initial surprise
you are sure to want to
assist with the inflating
the balloon which in
itself is pretty
impressive. The
feather-light fabric
billows with the force of
the air and slowly but
surely the balloon starts
to take shape. With the
basket standing upright
it's time to hop in. Take
your beloved by the hand
and climb in. On our hot
air balloon rides for two
you will be in the sky
for around an hour and on

Into the Blue
unrestricted hot air
balloon flights are
offered in partnership
with Balloons Over
Britain; a name
synonymous with adventure
and flight who have over
70 balloon launch sites
across the UK.The hot air
ballooning vouchers on
this page offer the
maximum flexibility and
convenience being valid
for dawn and dusk flights
throughout the week
including weekends making
the perfect present for
someone you love. Into
the Blue also offers
sunrise balloon trips
which present excellent
value for money.The
experience starts with a
passenger greeting
followed by the inflation
of the balloon. This is
great fun to watch with
passengers and spectators
often invited to join in
whilst cold air is blown
into the balloon and then
heated. Just before
climbing into the basket
it's time for the pilot
briefing and once
everyone is settled (and
with cameras at the
ready) it's time for take
off.Gently with the hot
air lifting the balloon
off the ground you'll
will drift skywards and
as you watch the ground
slowly drop away friends
and family down below
soon look like little
ant-sized people. Your
familiar towns become toy
towns and the rolling
countryside becomes a
glorious patchwork quilt
of seasonal colours as
you climb to an altitude
of up to 3 000ft.You will
be airborne in the
balloon for about an hour
depending on weather
conditions and yes it is
true that the pilot never
really knows precisely
where you will land - but
fear not the ground crew
are in radio contact with
the pilot and follow the
balloon to the safe
landing spot! The pilot
can control altitude by
using the gas burner to
control the temperature
of the hot air in the
balloon and often a
change of height can
result in a change of
direction. Essentially
you are being carried by
the wind like a dandelion
seed!Once landed the
ground crew will meet you
and there's a champagne
toast to celebrate your
adventure whilst the
balloon is being
deflated. Your experience
ends with the
presentation of a
commemorative certificate
signed by your pilot
before being transported
back to the launch site.

Float away over the
lovely countryside with
these best value weekday
ballon flights! If you
can make it on a mid-week
date you'll enjoy a
fabulous hot air ballon
flight for less. You get
all the views all the fun
and all the adventure
without paying extra for
going on a weekend. We
are offering these
mid-week hot air ballon
flights from take off
venues the length and
breadth of the UK. There
are around 100 of them so
no matter where you are
in the country there'll
be a balloon site
somewhere near you.
Flights are very much
weather dependent but
everyone agrees
ballooning is well worth
the wait. With these
weekday flights balloons
generally take off early
in the morning and late
in the afternoon as these
periods typically offer
the most clement weather
conditions - and the best
light in our opinion!
You'll be joined in the
basket by up to 15 other
passengers all eager to
enjoy the sensations of
ballon flight with you.
Your pilot will be an
expert balloonist who not
only knows the workings
of a balloon inside out
they are also very
knowledgeable on the
places you'll be flying
over and excellent at
putting nervous
first-timers at ease.
Even those who aren't
keen on heights will
enjoy the chance to get
airborne in a hot air
balloon. Indeed it's such
a different sensation to
anything else. What's
more you can be as
hands-on or hands-off as
you like but most guests
love getting involved at
the start of their
experience helping the
pilot and ground crew
inflate the balloon. And
after a calm and serene
flight prepare for some
fun as you seek out a
landing spot which could
be in a stubbly field or
a pasture recently
vacated by cattle! It's
all very much part of the
experience. Having helped
pack up the balloon
you'll be taken back to
your original take off
spot. With lots of thanks
spoken and goodbyes all
done you'll head off with
a huge smile on your
face. Time to reflect on
the day you made the very
most of your weekday
balloon flight 'stepping
off the Earth for a while
to see the world from a
different perspective' as
balloonists say!

Looking for hot air
balloon deals? The key to
getting the best discount
deals on hot air balloon
rides is when you go. If
you can make a weekday
early morning launch date
you can get a hot air
balloon ride at rock
bottom prices. We have a
handpicked selection of
sites offering sunrise
rides in a hot air
balloon for just £129
per person. These great
value deals do mean that
you have to be available
in the mornings during
the week to fly. And
we'll be honest it's
often a patience game
with hot air ballooning
as rides need optimal
weather conditions to
operate - but it is SO
worth it when you do get
airborne. Let's tell you
more about these
discounted rides in hot
air balloons... A meeting
time at the launch site
of something like 6am
might seem harsh but this
is honestly the best time
of the day to ride in a
hot air balloon. Nothing
can beat a graceful
ascension over the
countryside as the sun
comes up. It's so quiet
so tranquil and a real
privilege to witness the
world waking up from your
aerial view in the
basket. The deal with
these rides is that as
you and your fellow
passengers gather the hot
air balloon crew starts
the inflation process.
You're very welcome to
watch and take photos or
you can actually join in
and lend a hand as the
pilot blasts the warm air
into the canopy. Plenty
of hands are needed to
unfold the balloon and
help tether it until the
basket rights itself (as
it starts on it's side).
Once all passengers are
onboard and ready it's
time for the ride to
begin. As the balloon is
released it's a slow
gentle and serene take
off. It has been said
ballooning is not to be
rushed and you'd have to
agree. It's all about
peacefully floating along
taking in the stunning
views as you go. As away
you go for around an
hour's flying in your hot
air balloon the first
thing nearly every
passenger comments on is
how green the countryside
below looks. Remember to
benefit from these hot
air balloon deals you
need to fly during the
week at sunrise. The hot
air ballooning season
generally runs from April
to October/November time
and slots always book up
fast so as soon as you've
received your discounted
hot air balloon voucher
make sure you arrange a
date to fly.
