We had a flight with Virgin and because of adverse conditions it took about 2 1/2 years. I think we worked out that we had 18 booking cancelled before the flight went ahead.
Virgin balloon flights - Do they ever fly?

"Hello, I would like to book a balloon flight, in the UK, please."
"Yes no problem, that will be a squillion pounds."
"Here you go. When can I fly?"
"Oh, any day of the year when there is no risk of wind, fog or rain. And we do get quite busy on the other 10 days per year."
"Ah."

Then you were robbed; it should only be a squillion. See if you can get some money back from the supplier.

Done both ballon flight and Tiger Moth flight both worth the experience but both were cancelled numerous times, the balloon was better than the TM as that felt like it didn't want to be off the ground and seem to make every attempt possible to down ASAP. Balloon was over the South Downs on a lovely autumn evening absolutely stunning
