Alba Ballooning - hot air balloon flights in Scotland

Edinburgh based Alba Ballooning offers hot air balloon flights near Scotland's capital city of Edinburgh and its surrounding picturesque Lothian and northern Scottish Borders countryside and over the scenic region of Kinrosshire, Perthshire and Fife starting near Kinross or Perth.

We schedule our flights seven days a week in season which runs from mid-March to late-October. We currently operate any of our three balloons which have baskets to accommodate either 6, 9 or 12 passengers in 2 or 3 person comfortably padded compartments. We particularly pride ourselves on giving a consistently personal, local and professional service as our customer feedback testifies.

All flights are of course weather dependent so some perseverance is generally required - but we aim to make the reward worth any wait! Why should you choose to fly with us? Unlike many companies, we won't fly you in a 16 passenger 'bus' balloon and neither do we oversell far more places than we can ever possibly fly - everyone has plenty of opportunity to fly quickly after booking with us - and we display our Flight Schedules online for you to see before you buy.

You can see the numerous flights we achieve on our In flight Photos page. On each flight, we choose to use a launch site that best suits the wind direction so we don't cut your flight short due to the flight direction being unsuitable. All our vouchers are part refundable and we give you the option to renew them if you haven't flown by the time they expire. Quality and ethical service has always been paramount for us as our customer feedback suggests. Since starting in 2000, we've made over 500 flights and flown more than four thousand satisfied passengers. If you want the best, and don't want to be disappointed, then book with us!

If you have any questions or would like us to send you or someone a brochure and booking form, then please either email us at: info@albaballooning.co.uk or call us on: 0131 667 4251
