点评:Hubby had booked an am flight, and when we made the booking and because the balloon flights have to be early, we knew we needed to be at our take off site and probably leave home at 5am. Evening before they need you to call the booking line after 11pm. This is to check the flight is going and where it is going from, but Also if the weather is too bad and they have to cancel. Ours was going…. Yippee!! Meant we didn’t have a lot of sleep though as had to be at the Hop Farm by 5.30am. Ours changed from wadhurst to the hop Farm. Arrived early and you can help them get the balloon up if u want, and have to be ready to get in the basket very quickly when the balloon is fully inflated. Sections you stand in are quite narrow which made it a little challenging to get in using the footholds to go up one side and get in. Good idea to watch an online video but they do also provide information before as well. Fascinating to watch how they got the basket off the trailer and hire they blew up the balloon. Once we were off the ground, it was AMAZING one of the best things that I have ever experienced. Very quiet when the flame burner was not on as didn’t need to be on continually as we flew. Time in air 60 minutes. Seated position to land Ava it is not back to where we started. whilst the literature provided does tell you that landings can be bumpy, ours was three bumps and a little drag along the ground, but we got down safely and were able to get out. With Virgin balloon flights and whether this is the case for all of them, they ask you to help them pack the balloon back up!! I did wonder at the start how they do it with only 3 men lol. Celebratory drink and a certificate provided and the photos taken in the basket available to purchase on the day but also before hand. Lift back to the starting point and ask done by 8.45am
翻译:老公订的是上午的航班,我们订票的时候,因为热气球航班要早起,我们知道需要到达起飞地点,大概早上 5 点离开家。前一天晚上 11 点之后,他们需要你拨打订票热线。这是为了确认航班是否起飞以及从哪里出发,同时也是为了确认天气是否太糟糕而不得不取消。我们的航班本来就要起飞……耶!!这意味着我们没怎么睡觉,因为必须在早上 5 点 30 分之前到达 Hop Farm。我们的出发地从 wadhurst 改到了 hop Farm。我们到得很早,如果愿意,你可以帮他们把气球升起来,并且必须在气球充满气后迅速进入吊篮。你站的地方很窄,这使得你很难利用一侧的立足点爬上去。最好先看在线视频,但是他们也会提前提供信息。看着他们把吊篮从拖车上取下来,然后把气球吹起来,真是太有趣了。离开地面后,我简直惊呆了,这是我经历过的最棒的事情之一。火焰燃烧器没开的时候非常安静,因为我们飞行时不需要一直开着。空中停留60分钟。我们坐姿降落,而不是回到出发点。虽然提供的资料确实告诉你着陆可能会很颠簸,但我们这次只颠簸了三次,还稍微有点地面阻力,但我们安全着陆并成功脱身。维珍热气球飞行,不管是不是所有公司都这样,他们都会要求你帮他们把气球收起来!!一开始我还挺好奇他们只有三个人是怎么做到的,哈哈。庆祝饮料和证书都提供了,在吊篮里拍的照片当天可以购买,也可以提前购买。升空后回到起点,并在早上8:45之前完成。
