This was my 7th balloon flight. I absolutely loved it. The pilot, Jon, was brilliant, very knowledgeable and made it all very interesting. We went from Aston Marina near Stone to Stamshall near Uttoxe... See more

This balloon flight was supposed to…
This balloon flight was supposed to have been a Christmas present from my partner in 2016. So far every date booked has been cancelled , we have got into the practice of checking on different days whether the flight is taking place even on days when conditions appear to be good only to find that on every occasion flights have been cancelled for any number of reasons we are beginning to think that this is a rip off and are considering contacting the consumer protection authorities .

Buyer beware
Buyer beware - THIS COMPANY WILL HAPPILY RIP YOU OFF.
I purchased tickets for midweek balloon flights and tried to book multiple times. Each time they cancelled.
Then they tried to say my vouchers weren't valid despite their terms and conditions stating they were fine. The staff are rude and will go to any means to try and get more money off you.
Flights get cancelled at the drop of a hat and in the end I had to threaten court action to get a refund. Over a years worth of hassle for nothing.
Jon Rudoni the director and chief pilot is also a real charmer his parting words to me:
"I was looking forward to going to a small claims court. What a shame. Well see what happens next"
Do not use this company!
