Pick Of The Real Deals: Hot Air Ballooning!

We’ve often said that the skies the limit when it comes to finding the best travel deals in the land…and never has that been more true than with this incredible hot air ballooning deal (We’ve also often said that we’ll stop making bad puns in blog posts. Sincere apologies.)

If you’re anything like us, hot air ballooning will be one of those things you’ve always wanted to do, but have never quite got round to. Well…now you can take to skies in your very own colourful ball of gas with this rather special offer from GiftIdeasforTwo!

As GiftIdeasForTwo say rather whimsically on their website; “As you float high above ground and then drop low enough to skim the hedgerows and treetops you can bask in the magical silence up where the air is clear.” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. We think this deal would make an amazing present for someone special; might we suggest though that you make sure they’re not scared of heights first?

The deal costs £287 for two people, and that includes champagne. Air borne vehicles and bubbles = a dangerous combination? We’ll let you decide.

So what will you get to do? Well, the whole experience is three hours, and in that time you’ll help to inflate the balloon, followed by an hours flight with a champagne toast and finally, you’ll get a certificate signed by the one and only Sir Richard Branson.

Sorry if on first glance that last sentence made you think you’re going to be chartered around the skies by Virgin’s Overlord – sadly he just signed the certificate.

You can redeem your voucher from the beginning of April until the end of October 2011, and it can be used at 100 different locations across the UK! You book with individual ballooning teams in places like Scotland, St Albans and Leicestershire!
