    Backup Launch Sites

    Almost all of our launch locations have back-up sites, which are mainly used when conditions are not flyable at the original site but will also be used if the main site is unavailable for other reasons.

    Having back-up sites increases the chance of a hot air balloon flight going ahead, as without them it would have been cancelled. Where possible, they will be within 20 miles of the original site but can sometimes be further away.

    You will be sent a list of all the back-up sites for the main location you have booked for with your booking confirmation, so please take note of the details for each of them in case your flight is moved.
