Today's Groupon Deal is:

Fantastic price. I did a hot air balloon flight the other year and it was the most amazing experience. Well worth the money.

It says you posted today but when I click the link it comes up with another offer. Never used this site before can you tell me where I need to look for the deal please?

It's coming up with the right offer for me. Maybe if you change the City to your local city you will be able to see it.

Please be aware folks that ballooning is a very weather dependent sport.
You may experience multiple cancellations.
I am not trying to put anyone off but simply make you aware of this.
(I am a qualified pilot).
You may have to try many times before you get to go on the other hand you might get lucky and go first time.

This is also appearing under BATH.

Please can someone confirm for me does it expire 12 months after purchase? At the top it says expires 29th June 2011 is this when the deal ends or when the voucher ends?

Oh I would love to go in a balloon I never been up in the air before. Wish it was nearly to us I know they do York but doesn't appear to be on offer.

The offer is valid on the York page, (York racecourse is the place they take off from), also the small print says that the flight is valid from 12months after you register the voucher.
i fancy the Bishop Aukland one.

Anyone know how long is the flight?

There's a balloon festival near us each year, with balloons going up friday 6am, 6pm, saturday 6am and 6pm and sunday 6am(possibly 6pm). One year they didn't go up at all, one year they went up in all time slots other years they've managed to go up at sometimes and not others so I agree with lisyloo you might have a few cancellations before you finally get up in the air. But whenyou do it is a wonderful experience. We did it as a family in Florida, the weather is perfect for t there and they raely have a cancellation. Here there can be too much wind, not enough wind etc. If it's something you've wanted to do I'd say go for it but don't be surprised if you don't get in the air the first time.
