点评:Orginally booked In December 2024 over the phone, at the time when i booked it wasnt explained to me very clearly how "precise" the weather needs to be to fly, i was just told "Depending the good Ol British weather" for avarage Joe i made the mistake of thinking a bit of wind and rain, but of course i was wrong, the wind direction and speed has to be so precise and in the right direction, which somnetimes can take a very long time.
We finally flew a couple of weeks ago after around 13 attempts through out the year.
Once your there and flying you can appreciate why the weather needs to be so precise! Firstly you would never get of the ground and as the balloon cant steer the wind obv plays a massive factor.
Shirlee and Tony on the day were exeptional and made the whole day fun and informative. It was a very nice afterrnoon.
The only reason for 4 stars and not 5, it should be made much more clear at point of sale how accurate the weather needs to be and explained in more detail on the T&C's and website and when talking on the phone, that way its expected and customers wouldnt be so frustrated when it looks like a nice sunny day outside with no wind but still cant fly.
As a avarage person who knows nothing about Balloning i wasnt expecting to be waiting around 10 months.
As i said, Shirlee and Tony are realy nice people and it was a life experince ticked of the list BUT would i of booked if i known it would of taken this long and tying to find and book days off work where the family can go can together through out the year sacrifcing are only days off together? Probably not...
翻译:最初是在2024年12月通过电话预订的。当时预订时,他们并没有明确解释飞行所需的天气条件有多“精确”,只是告诉我“取决于英国的好天气”。我误以为会有风雨,但我错了,风向和风速必须非常精确,而且方向正确,这有时可能需要很长时间。
我们终于在几周前进行了为期一年的大约13次尝试后进行了飞行。
一旦你到达那里并开始飞行,你就会明白为什么天气需要如此精确!首先,你永远无法离开地面,而且由于气球无法控制方向,风向显然起着重要作用。
Shirlee和Tony当天的表现非常出色,让一整天都充满乐趣,收获颇丰。那是一个非常愉快的下午。
我给四星而不是五星的唯一原因是,销售点应该更清楚地说明天气预报的准确性,并在条款和条件、网站和电话沟通时更详细地解释,这样客户就不会因为外面阳光明媚、无风却无法飞行而感到沮丧。
作为一个对热气球一无所知的普通人,我没想到要等上10个月左右。
正如我所说,Shirlee和Tony人非常好,这是一次人生经历,我早就想好了。但如果我知道要花这么长时间,还要费力地寻找和预订可以全家一起去的休假日,牺牲的只是几天的假期,我还会预订吗?大概不会吧……
