About This Deal
The Deal
Joining a group of other passengers, aeronauts can prepare for take-off with a safety briefing as balloons gradually inflate. Five launch sites can be chosen from including Gloucestershire, Cirencester, Bourton on the Water, Stroud, Cheltenham and Gloucester. After firing up the burners and climbing aboard, airborne vessels can rise to heights of up to 3,000 feet, drifting leisurely aloft the verdant countryside of the Cotswolds. Groups can gaze at the unfolding landscape for their one-hour flight (usually £149 per person), before the balloon gradually glides back to terra firma. After their descent, pairs can take advantage of the time-honoured tradition of post-flight Champagne, and receive a signed certificate from the pilot before a retrieval crew returns them to base.
