About Exeter

Exeter, Devon

Situated in the heart of Devon, Exeter is a historic cathedral city with a rich heritage and a vibrant modern atmosphere. With origins dating back to Roman times, Exeter has long been an important centre for the region, blending centuries of history with lively independent culture. The city lies along the River Exe and is surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside, with the dramatic landscapes of Dartmoor and the rolling hills of East Devon forming a stunning natural backdrop.


Exeter is home to several notable historic landmarks, including the magnificent Exeter Cathedral, famous for its striking Gothic architecture and medieval history. Today, the city offers a welcoming mix of independent shops, cafés, historic streets and riverside walks along the quayside. From above, the surrounding countryside reveals a patchwork of fields, winding waterways and distant hills, making the area around Exeter a truly memorable place to experience from the peaceful vantage point of a hot air balloon. 🎈

Why Choose Fly Away?

Smaller Groups

Whether you’re looking for a private, exclusive flight or prefer to join one of our smaller shared experiences, we deliberately keep our groups small. This means more enjoyment, greater flexibility and a more relaxed experience from booking right through to landing.

Family-Run

We’re an independent, family-run business. Yes, five members of our family have held a hot air balloon pilot’s licence, with four of them being commercially qualified!

Easy Booking

We’ve developed a comprehensive, easy-to-use booking system designed to make every step as simple and straightforward as possible. From booking your flight and choosing a date to managing your booking or rebooking, we’ve made it quick and easy to do what you need to do.

And whilst our booking system makes things simple, we don’t hide behind technology — our telephone number is always available, and you’re welcome to call us whenever you need to. We also pride ourselves on responding promptly to emails and WhatsApp messages, so there’s always a real person on hand when you need us.

Live Availability

Did you know we’re the only UK ballooning company to show our live availability before you’ve even purchased a voucher?

See exactly when we’re flying before you commit. If you have a specific date in mind, you can check availability as part of the booking process and schedule your flight there and then. 

Book, Choose Later or Gift

There are three simple ways to book your balloon flight:

Book your date: Choose your preferred flight date from our live availability at the same time as purchasing your voucher. That way, everything is arranged from the start.

Choose later: Purchase an open-dated voucher and choose your flight date and location later. When you’re ready, you can easily book your experience using our online booking system.

Gift the experience: Buying for someone else? Give them the gift of a balloon flight and let them choose when and where they’d like to fly.
