Virgin Balloon FlightsHot Air Balloon Flight for Two

Few gifts land like a hot air balloon flight. Virgin Balloon Flights operates from more than 100 launch sites across the UK — so there's usually one within reach — with roughly an hour airborne and a traditional post-flight toast of prosecco or a soft drink once you're back on the ground. Flights only run at dawn or in the calm of early evening, so an early start is unavoidable, and they're highly weather-dependent: cancellations and reschedules are routine rather than a fault, and it can take more than one attempt to actually fly. A flexible 'Fly Anytime' ticket, valid across a wider window, takes the sting out of that. Budget a half-day for the whole outing, and don't gift one against a tight deadline like a specific anniversary date.
