Balado Airfield Flying Lessons
Information About Balado Airfield Flights
For over 100 years, this Airfield has been owned and operated by the same family, boasting a rich history in aviation and more. During WW2, the Air Ministry took over the airfield to support Britain’s war efforts, using it as a training facility for Spitfire and Hurricane pilots. After the war, the airfield was returned to its original owners and continued to be a global attraction for flying enthusiasts, offering activities such as gliding, hot air ballooning, paragliding, and microlights.
But Balado Airfield is not just for flying. It also serves as a vibrant hub for various events and activities, including off-road driving, hovercraft, land yachting, paintballing, motorcycle shows, steam rallies, dog shows, and agricultural events.

Terms and Conditions for Balado Airfield
Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.
Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).
In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.
