Highlights

Sir Richard Branson knows a thing or two about ballooning. With several records under his belt and adventurous trips crossing both the Pacific and the Atlantic, he's picked up more than a few air miles. If you fancy following in the footsteps of the illustrious explorer then take a gander at today's deal.

No, we're not sending you out into the wild blue yonder with only your wits, we've a slightly more luxurious trip in mind. For just £119 you can embark on a 3-4 hour air balloon experience including about an hour in the air. View the world from tranquil heights in a Virgin hot air balloon before descending back to terra firma and toasting your journey with a glass of champagne!
