Hello,

Our hot air balloon flights are proving ever popular this Christmas as truly outstanding adventurous gifts.

Many parts of the UK have seen snow today ramping up the odds that we might be in line for a white Christmas.

Whilst we all know that we can never be sure of this, one thing our customers can be sure of is that they will definitely receive their Virgin Balloon Flights Gift Packages in time for Christmas if they select our new Express Delivery option at Checkout. This will get their Celebration Packages and Adventure Packages to them the very next day if ordered before 1pm (or Monday if ordered on a Friday).

This is the perfect opportunity to bag those adventurous loved ones that extra special Christmas gift.

We have plenty of Christmas creative in our affiliate area on the Webgains platform for you to add to your site.

As a reminder, don't forget that our next quarterly competition is now underway. So if you fancy being whisked up, up and away like our last winners, Convergence Multimedia, then simply get cracking this Christmas and see if you can achieve this quarter's target which is:

Most Improved Affiliate*
