VIP Champagne Hot Air Balloon rides & flights for Reading, Berkshire

View over ThameWelcome! Altitude Balloons is the South East’s leading balloon company, certified by the Civil Aviation Authority, with years of experience, and the only balloon company in the country to offer carbon-neutral flights – and we’re situated close to Reading! Come and join us for a magical few hours that you will never forget. Our flying area is a short hop up the M40, and it couldn’t be easier for you to get to us. Our meeting point is often just off the M40 in the small market town of Thame - an easy motorway journey from central Reading. Jump in our hot air balloon basket, relax with a glass of champagne, and enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery in the country, right on Reading’s doorstep.

Unlike many companies, we only fly small balloons so you can be sure of an exclusive VIP service. Our largest balloon carries only 12 passengers, and many of our flights take place in our 7 passenger balloon, meaning that your pilot will always be there to act as host, answer any questions or queries you may have, and ensure that your flight is an experience that will stay with you for many years to come. You can of course book our exclusive flight for two.

"Never did I imagine it would be such a magical, awe-inspriing experience. You have added another ‘first’ to my now growing list. For that I thank you (all). A very competent and friendly crew, fabulous weather and great views – a memory to keep hold of forever!!!"
Tania & Julian Campbell (from our Comments Book)

Our hot air balloon flights fly over the beautiful counties of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We get wonderful views over huge swathes of central and southern England, including some wonderful views of Berkshire. We fly many passengers from Reading in our hot air balloons, and many of them come back more than once. We’d love to show you why!

Balloons in a Thame fieldFrom your hot air balloon, you will be guaranteed amazing and serene views of some of the most fantastic scenery in central and southern England, along with bustling market towns, romantic villages, winding rivers, and some of the most impressive properties and estates in the entire country – our hot air balloons often fly over Chequers in Buckinghamshire, the Prime Minister’s Residence. We often see Waddesdon Manor, which used to be home to the Rothschild family before it was handed over to the National Trust to become one of their most popular properties. It is an extraordinary sight from the basket of a hot air balloon.

Whichever direction our hot air balloon flight takes us you are guaranteed a fascinating trip – over a truly beautiful corner of the country just a stone’s throw from Reading.
