What Can I Expect
Romantic balloon flights for two in the South West. Proposals, engagements, weddings, anniversaries - whatever you're celebrating, these experiences are the ultimate in romance and love!
Everything is set up and ready for you. You have booked this romantic balloon ride as a surprise for that special person in your life. They know nothing about it. The date is reserved. The time is booked. With the weather looking good for the next day, the launch site somewhere in and around Somerset in the South West has been confirmed…
Imagine the look on their face when they arrive and see a hot air balloon being inflated. Quite possibly one of the most romantic gestures imaginable, this flight is for two and only two passengers.
If you'll be boarding the basket with precious cargo (that's to say a ring!) this is the balloon flight package for you. Hold your nerve as you gain altitude and then it's time. Pop that question, make that declaration of love. It's the perfect moment!
We love the fact that these romantic balloon packages include flowers, a glass of Champagne and even an in-flight video so you can capture the whole experience on film to be watched and enjoyed with friends and family.
Of course, you don't have to be making any grand gestures or proposals to enjoy a romantic balloon flight for two from one of the many South West launch sites. It might be that you just want to treat them to something extra special. Whatever your motivation, it's lift off for romance on these flights!
