When The Winds Have Other Plans

Whenever you plan and even promise someone, usually a child to take him on an hot air balloon especially in the UK you better prepare yourself to the wind having its own way.

Balloons over Britain are so used to the cancellations due to wind conditions that they provide people with the option to take the planned flight at a later date from other locations.

I suppose that in windy states this “insurance” is part of good service but it can work only for big enough companies that can offer many locations for balloon flights.

When you’re on vacation and plan a flight on hot air balloon either check on location with the operators and if the weather bad there won’t be flights anyway or reserve flight with a big enough company that can give you alternatives when the weather goes bad.
