As well as regular passenger flights, we have always
had a yearning for adventure flying, which over the years has seen
us achieve some of the longest, highest, fastest, and furthest flights
to have taken place within the UK in recent years. 
These flights have extended our knowledge and range
of experience, testing pilots and equipment to the limit. Flying
in the UK and abroad, from the Black Mountains and the Swiss Alps,
to the frozen wastes of Arctic Norway, Finland and Russia, we've
been there and come back to tell the tale! 
So you know that when you book to fly with Champagne
Flights, you are flying with professionals.
Altitude attempts of recent years have been achieved
using pressurised capsules and high tech aids. We wanted to experience
high altitude balloon flight in an open basket, and what an experience
it turned out to be! Equipped with oxygen sets and polar clothing,
it took us two hours to complete the flight and return to earth,
during which time we climbed to over 31,000ft and travelled 50 miles,
with temperatures as low as -49°c !
