Rated 4 out of 5 by Wonderfully relaxing time Despite the Qld floods, everything went smoothly with no problems at all. Excellent holiday. Everybody was friendly and very helpful. 4 February 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by A Fantastic Experience! We received the mystery flight and 2 nights accommodation for our engagement present. The team was very helpful as I couldn't fly certain dates and they were able to accommodate very promptly. The location was central to everything in the city and the accommodation was perfect with a king size bed and buffet breakfast both mornings. And just to mention the private transfers, this made our trip run more smoothy. This was all a surprise and what a surprise it was :) We both had a great time! 23 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wonderful! When we found out we were spending our 2 nights in Adelaide we wondered what would we do but when we got there we needn't have worried. We had a lovely time doing not a lot and just enjoying the break away from the every day. 20 January 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Terrific weekend. We had a fantastic time. The Red Balloon staff were easy to deal with and very communicative about the details and making sure we were looked after. The destination (Adelaide) was ideal, the hotel was perfect for us and very central to the city, car hire, etc. The only hiccup we had was the airport transfers where the plane was late arriving and there was no flexibility with the transfer company and we ended up taking a taxi rather than wait 90 mins for the next shuttle. Would highly recommend it as a weekend escape!! 23 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fabulous! Last year I received a Red Balloon gift voucher to the value of $500, which I eventually redeemed for a 2-night mystery flight. The team generated a lot of excitement by the "mysteriousness" of the whole package, not knowing where we'd end up. Our mystery destination was Cairns where we had lived from 1996 to 2000, so not an unknown destination. We had the most wonderful weekend away from the kids, revisited old haunts and beaches, had a meal to die for, a flutter at the casino, and were just generally spoilt from go to whoa! The flight was agreeable, the hotel airconditioned with comfortable beds, but we were slightly disappointed not to be given a beachfront room, especially as the hotel did not seem to be busy or full. Will definitely be doing this again. 21 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fantastic! Our mystery flight was to Adelaide; one of my favourite places in the world. Our flight out of Sydney was a bit delayed, but that's life. The only problem with that was that we missed our connection to our hotel at the other end, but we caught a city bus and all was fine. The hotel we stayed in was lovely and in a great location. We went out to all our favourite wine bars. We caught the tram out and had lunch at Glenelg. On the way back we called in at the races and lost some money! We went to the Central Markets and bought some wine and cheese. We ate at some great restaurants. Then sadly we had to fly home. We took the mystery flight for my partner's birthday and so he didn't know where we were going until the morning at the airport. so it was a great surprise for him! I would definitiely recommend this experience and can't wait to do it again. 20 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Would do it again, what a great experience !!! Going to an unknown destination is an experience in itself. Return flights, transfers, accommodation and breakfasts were included in our package. We had 3 full days in the Gold Coast and the weather was great. Check out of the hotel was10:00am but our transfer to the airport wasn't until 6:00pm. We were a bit lost as to what to do on the last day, no facility to have a shower later in the day if we went swimming etc. I suggest that the package should give you a late check out closer to your time of pick up otherwise you would have to pay it yourself. 20 December 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by It was a wonderful experience! We absolutely loved Melbourne and the hotel we stayed at was in a very convenient location within walking distance of everything and with easy access of trams and shuttle bus. Virgin Airlines were fantastic! I would definitely fly with them again. Everything was very well organised including the shuttle transport from the airport to the hotel. We had a wonderful experience. thank you! 5 December 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Better than I could have arranged We had a great weekend away - the surprise was fun, we weren't send to the closest or cheapest destination, the bus took us from the airport to our hotel and back, and the hotel was very nice and right in the city. It was better than if I'd arranged it myself. 17 November 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 Excellent experience. It was all perfectly timed and planned. Great destination and an amazing resort! Thank you. 31 July 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by My daughter and I went to the Gold Coast, we haven"t flown with Virgin Airlines for years and I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient the Airline was, our accommodation was good. I chose to hire a car as we went to Dracula's, Dreamworld and The Spirit of the Outback - great show and as you can see we took full advantage of our 2 nights. I have told a lot of people about RedBalloon as not many knew that mystery flights are still available. Overall fantastic weekend and very well organised. Thank you 27 July 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by We had a great time in Sydney. Accomodation was wonderful, as were all our flights and transfers. 24 July 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by My daughter and I went to the Gold Coast and had a fantastic time, we went straight to our accommodation and checked in. We went shopping, to Dreamworld and had fun after the Outback spectacular experience for that night I would highly recommend it. We crammed in so much in the time we were there and enjoyed every minute of it. Over all I had a wonderful time with my daughter and a huge thanks to the RedBalloon Team for their professionalism and help with the vouchers. Would I recommend this to someone, absolutly as I was worried before i did this and I can tell you now they are with you every step of the way. Thank you for a wonderful experience. 15 July 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Loved the pick up from the airport and wonderful hotel in Sydney (Hilton). My only critisism is flying Virgin is always a gamble, bumped to flight one hour later with no communication. Great weekend though. 17 June 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by This Mystery Flight sent my girlfriend and I up to Cairns for 2 nights and it was a fantastic weekend holiday! 28 May 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by We had the most wonderful weekend away. The weather was beautiful and where we stayed the staff where wonderful and the hotel was perfect in every way. Thank you so much.

Rated 5 out of 5 What a brilliant experience. Although we knew our flight destination once we checked in at the airport, we didnt know where we were staying until we opened the envelope on the plane. The accomodation was magnificent and close to everything. We had a fantastic 3 days using every minute to go places we had never been before. 17 May 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by I would love to thank whoever organized my 2 night mystery flight package as it was terrific, I feel like i was there for a week not 2 nights. The accomodation was excellent 5 star & lovely staff . I stayed at he QT Gold Coast & flew on Virgin Australia who were great . I also had great weather every day. I went to Sea world & the beach it was just magical. 5 March 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by My tip is to book your weekend well in advance, you will have better selection of dates available to you. A great trip, we ended up in Newcastle, a great city, lots to see & do. We were met by a very friendly shuttle service, we got a bonus tour of the city on the way to our hotel. Hotel very nice, with great facilities. I would recommend this experience through RedBalloon. 29 February 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Well organised weekend, all aspects of the itinerary worked without a hitch. 13 February 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Motel fantastic, right in the heart of Brisbane so able to walk everywhere. The big negative was having our return transfer to the airport over 2 hours before our flight. What a waste of time we could have spent exploring. Very disappointed with that part. We tried to change it but were unable. 1 February 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by My boyfriend and I treated ourselves to this experience for our 3 year anniversary and we loved it! The hotel was in a great location and everything we needed was in walking distance. The staff were friendly and the room was great. 30 January 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by We had a great time and made the most of our short stay in Launceston. On our arrival day we had booked a tour of the Boag Brewery (only a 2 block walk from our hotel); then on day 2 we rented a car and covered about 250km visiting Raspberry Farm; Cheese Factory; Chocolate Factory and other towns. The accommodation was great (Hotel Grand Chancellor)- great location - shopping and restaurants within blocks. Actually the location couldn't have been more perfect...Thank you! We had a wonderful time. 12 November 2011
