Meet Your Pilot

David Stagg is the founder and chief pilot of Bucket-List Balloon Flights.

With many years of experience in ballooning, David holds private and commercial pilot licences and the UK’s highest ballooning qualifications. His passion extends beyond flying to building, maintaining and caring for balloons.

His goal is simple: to share the magic of ballooning while providing a safe, personal and memorable experience.

When Is Ballooning Season?

Flights operate mainly during the warmer months, when conditions are most suitable for ballooning.

Flights take place around sunrise and sunset, when the air is generally calmer and the light creates spectacular views across the countryside.

Because ballooning is weather-dependent, your flight is always subject to suitable conditions.

Explore Norfolk & Suffolk From Above

Our flights take place from carefully selected launch sites across Norfolk and Suffolk.

Your exact launch location depends on the weather and wind direction on the day. Wherever you fly, you’ll enjoy a unique view of the countryside, villages and landscapes below.

What to Expect

Your balloon adventure begins before you even leave the ground.

You’ll receive confirmation before your flight, meet your pilot and crew, and prepare for take-off. Once airborne, you’ll gently drift with the wind while taking in panoramic views of the countryside.

Flights typically last around one hour, with the complete experience taking approximately 3–4 hours including preparation and recovery.

At the end of the flight, you’ll enjoy a traditional ballooning celebration before returning from the launch site.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish David and his ground crew, darren, Sean and Paul were excellent. Knowledgeable which helped put my mind at ease. An absolutely amazing experience from start to finish even getting myself and the other passengers involved in the set up and packing away which was a great touch. Then to have champagne at the end finished the whole experience off. If I could I’d give more than 5stars I would but I can’t

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely incredible experience with Bucket List Balloons!

As a professional fixed-wing pilot, I’ve spent a lot of time in the air, but I’d always wanted to experience flying in a hot air balloon. I was looking for something a little more personal, though. I didn’t fancy going with a huge operator where you can sometimes feel like just another booking, I wanted the whole experience.

After some research, I came across Bucket List Balloons and booked a flight with David. I certainly wasn’t disappointed.

From the very beginning, the experience was fantastic. I wanted to be involved, so David included me in the whole process of setting up and preparing the balloon. Others in the group preferred just to watch, and there was absolutely no pressure either way, you can be as involved as you want to be.

Once airborne, we enjoyed the most incredible flight over the Norfolk countryside. Even coming from a professional flying background, ballooning is a completely different form of flight and an amazing experience.

David is an extremely talented and professional balloon pilot. The flight was superb, and the landing was something else, so smooth that the basket even stayed upright!

We climbed out to a bottle of bubbles, which was the perfect way to finish what had been a genuinely unforgettable experience.

If you’re thinking about trying ballooning and want something friendly, personal and much more than simply being taken up for a flight, I couldn’t recommend Bucket List Balloons and David highly enough.

An easy 5 stars from me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Would highly recommend this experience and it’s something that everybody should do at least once in their life! My dad said he was pleased the fact that there were four passengers in the balloon as it made it more personal and friendly 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a truly wonderful experience on my first balloon flight with Bucket-list Balloon Flights. It was a special birthday gift and turned out to be beyond my expectations.  David was so helpful and professional with real attention to detail to ensure we had a memorable time - from the initial booking, throughout the flight itself, champagne on landing and photos and videos to record the occasion. I would highly recommend BBF for a very special experience.
