We had a fantastic evening flight with Nigel and his crew. They were welcoming and involving from the start, and even though it was our first time in a small basket at 2,000 ft we felt safe, secure and in great hands the whole way. Nigel's experience shone through and we couldn't recommend it more highly. More

I have just returned from an amazing experience with First Flight courtesy of Nigel Appleton. From the outset Nigel was professional, friendly and efficient. His team and himself were fun and chatty, as well as being highly efficient and experienced. Nigel has been piloting for over 20 years and that experience shows. We had a fabulous flight and a safe... More

Nigel and his team are friendly and efficient. I took my 10 year old son on the ride with me and and they were encouraging and supportive. I felt calm and safe throughout the ride and would recommend them to anyone. The small group (only 8 in the basket) meant a fun more personal atmosphere. Would recommend them to anyone... More

It was a great bonus to discover that fifteen years since my first balloon flight over the Somerset countryside, Nigel and his small team at First Flight are still offering the same wonderfully personal adventure.

We were very fortunate that the weather was good and after much discrete telephone coordination with Nigel, the pilot and owner... More

Nigel, who owns and runs First Flight, was a pleasure to deal with in terms of pre flight arangements and he is a very experienced pilot which made for an all round fantastic experience. More

We have just been on a fabulous ballon trip with First Flight. I was given the trip as a birthday present so that 2 of us could have a trip followed by champagne. Nigel who owns First Flight and who was our pilot was superb from start to finish. It was fun and friendly and very well organised. The weather... More

Hi Nigel, I just thought I would drop you a quick line to say thanks for your hospitality on the balloon trip. It was an amazing experience and I will definitely look to fly with you again. Your regular updates and continued contact with me from start to finish was impeccable and the friendliness from you and your team on... More

Nigel (a balloon pilot with 20 years experience) looked after us from the moment we first called him to inquire about prices right through to our final landing in a field at dusk. It took a while to find suitable weather because of the time of year, but Nigel kept in constant contact, phoning or emailing to give us information... More
