Virgin Balloon Flights have a very comprehensive FAQs page which answers any questions you may have about ballooning e.g. is it safe, what's the landing like, will we fly over my house, why was my balloon flight cancelled when I saw another one go up, etc, how high up will we go and lots more. It's worth reading for all those times you've seen a hot air balloon ride and started to pose questions to yourself about the experience.

Prices start from £89 which is quite incredible when you consider you're going to get an amazing view of Britain - or a part of it. The price depends on when you want to fly e.g. weekday/weekend, where you want the experience to be, and what sort of experience you want to have - there's an Adventure experience which is more expensive.
