Southern Flight offer hot air balloon flights in Hampshire from launch
sites at Winchester, Basingstoke, Alton, Popham, Micheldever and Kingsworthy.
Guests are usually met in time to allow them to watch the inflation of the
balloon so that photographs and/or video films may be taken.
A Hot Air Balloon inflation and launch is a spectacle second to none, and
therefore friends and relatives are very welcome to be involved and view
proceedings from the ground thus making the event even more special.
An opportunity to ‘get involved’ is also possible (but my no means compulsory).
Guests will be given a comprehensive briefing by the pilot before the launch and
another briefing before the landing.

The flight will last for approximately 1 hour but you should allow about 3-4
hours for the whole experience (from pre-launch to return journey). During the
flight there will be ample opportunity for guests to take photographs and video
film of the breath-taking view unfolding before them. Our pilot is happy to
answer a variety of questions regarding the balloon and will point out areas of
interest en-route.
Our flights take place from April to October in the early mornings and early
evenings/afternoons, depending on the time of year. Do remember that ballooning
is a weather dependent activity.
In Flight Photo
A souvenir in-flight colour photograph (12" x 8") is taken during the flight.
The photo will show passengers in the basket together with a panoramic view
of the area that they are flying over.

The pilot presents each person with a signed certificate to
commemorate their hot-air balloon flight and there will be an opportunity for
guests to purchase merchandise. Once permission has been obtained from the
landowner, the balloon will be packed away and we return them to the meeting
point.

Champagne or fruit juice, whichever you prefer, is served during your
