When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by your pilot and crew as preparations begin. After a short safety briefing and time for any questions, you’ll be invited to help lay out and assist with the inflation. A powerful fan fills the envelope with cold air, and you’ll watch as it slowly takes shape before your pilot adds heat, bringing the balloon upright to its full height of around 90 feet. It’s now time to climb aboard.
Before take off, your pilot will demonstrate the landing procedure and make sure everyone feels comfortable and ready. Then, as the burners roar to life, you’ll rise smoothly into the sky and take in breathtaking 360° views of the landscape below. Once airborne, the flight is calm and peaceful, broken only by the occasional whoosh of the burner. Drifting with the wind, each moment reveals a new perspective — from deer moving through the fields to birds of prey circling gracefully beneath you.
As the flight comes to an end, your pilot will guide you through the landing — asking everyone to take the position explained before take off. Whether it’s a gentle stand-up landing or a lively drag across the grass, every touchdown brings its own sense of adventure. Once safely back on the ground, you’ll join the crew for a complimentary tipple — the perfect moment to celebrate, share stories, and reflect on your time in the sky.
Ballooning isn’t just a job for your Bath pilot, Hugo – it’s a passion passed down in his family over three generations. As the co-founder of Fly Away Ballooning, he carries on the family tradition with an infectious enthusiasm, taking you skyward over the sandy Georgian architecture of Bath. With so many stunning sights, a hot air balloon ride offers a unique way to experience one of the UK’s most iconic cities. “Ballooning over a city replete with history and often in the company of other balloons is such a warming experience,” - Hugo
