This is just my take on this, only today me and my wife travelled to Whitchurch with me being totally unaware of where I was going and what I was going to be doing, all I knew was my wife had arranged a treat for my 60th birthday but I wouldn’t know if whatever she had planned would go ahead as it depended on the weather.I was baffled until at 2pm she received a text message to give her the bad news that a balloon trip had been cancelled due to bad weather (up to that point I knew nothing about it)!However, the weather was sunny with clouds and a bit of a breeze? Which then made me wonder how “perfect “ does the weather need to be for your trip to go ahead. Then you realise there is an expiry on the Virgin voucher, and become aware as you try to book alternative dates that this could become farcical and very expensive and depending how cynical it makes you, it actually crosses your mind that this could be the perfect scam depending how difficult it is to reschedule, the season (weather issue again) etc etcI will definitely be monitoring our progress with this including the weather forecasts and availability, because unfortunately my wife wouldn’t have realised the potential problems at the time of booking, but I could tell she was really disappointed today.We both want this to work and if it does, I’ll be the first to rate our experience, but if it does leave my wife out of pocket and feeling like she’s been had, then I will do what is required to burst their bubble!Otherwise we have to trust whoever it is that gains the most!!?
