Premium Flight

Booked the Premium Flight for our anniversary and the champagne toast on landing was such a nice touch.

Our pilot explained everything before take-off and made two nervous first-timers feel completely at ease.

The drive out to the launch field in the dark builds so much anticipation, then the sky just opens up.

Did the VIP Deluxe Flight to propose and having the balloon to ourselves made the whole morning feel private.

Cava toast in a field at sunrise, still in my flight suit, is now my favorite travel memory from Barcelona.

First time in a hot air balloon and the Classic Flight was the perfect way to try it without overspending.

Views of the Pyrenees on one side and Montserrat on the other, genuinely didn't expect both in one flight.

The whole crew let us help fold the balloon after landing, my kids thought that was the best part.

Premium Flight's small group made a real difference, never felt crowded in the basket at any point.

Pickup from Plaça Catalunya was right on time at 6am, half asleep but the drive out woke us up fast.

Flying silently over vineyards with just the burner sound now and then is oddly the most peaceful hour I've had.

Everything ran exactly on schedule, weather looked iffy the night before but our pilot called it perfectly.

Got the flight certificate afterward and framed it, small detail but it made the morning feel official.

The private VIP flight for two was worth every euro for our honeymoon morning, no other basket in sight.

Montserrat's shape from the air is unlike anything you see from the ground, worth the early wake-up alone.

Coffee and croissants waiting for us at the launch field before sunrise was a welcome surprise on the Premium package.

Loved that they were upfront about how weather-dependent flights are, ours got rescheduled once with zero hassle.

45 minutes out of Barcelona and it feels like a completely different Catalonia, farmland as far as you can see.

Booking was simple, quick WhatsApp back and forth and our date was confirmed within the hour.

Photos from the Premium package arrived a few days later and captured the whole flight better than my phone could.

Our pilot pointed out the medieval villages below as we drifted over, added so much to the flight.

Sunrise from a balloon basket makes every other sunrise I've seen look a bit ordinary now.

Went with the VIP option for our anniversary and the extra crew member filming meant we didn't have to hand our phone to a stranger.

Self-drove to the aerodrome instead of the transfer, free parking was easy and saved us the early pickup.

My partner proposed just after we landed, cava glass still in hand, the crew somehow kept a straight face the whole time.

Brought our teenagers along and even they put their phones down once the balloon actually lifted off.

Classic Flight felt just as complete as I expected, the extras on Premium are nice but not essential for a first flight.

The safety briefing was thorough without dragging on, pilot clearly knew the aircraft and the weather that morning.

Basket for the Premium Flight genuinely felt spacious with ten of us, room to move to whichever side had the view.

Distant Pyrenees peaks were still snow-capped in spring, added something I hadn't expected from a Barcelona-area flight.

Arrived a bit early and got to watch the whole balloon inflation process up close, more interesting than I expected.

Booked two days before flying during our weekend trip and they still fit us onto that Saturday's flight.

The champagne celebration after our VIP flight felt genuinely special, not just a plastic cup and a quick toast.

Splurged on VIP for our honeymoon morning and having the whole basket to ourselves made it worth every cent.

They messaged the night before confirming the flight was on, took the guesswork out of an early alarm.

Farmland, vineyards, a handful of church towers below, nothing like the city view I was picturing beforehand.

Our group of four booked Premium and the guide let us take extra time for photos once we'd landed.

Straightforward pricing, no surprise add-ons at the field, what we booked online matched exactly what we got.

Rescheduled us free of charge when wind picked up overnight, then the flight two days later had perfectly still air.

Gourmet snacks after our VIP landing were an unexpectedly good touch, local cheese and cava done properly.
