\nI was given the vouchers in 2014 but after four cancellations its been virtually impossible to bookAs a 60th birthday present I was given vouchers for a Virgin balloon flight, ironically called 7 Day Anytime, for myself and two adult sons. That was in 2014. They both work full time in different cities and I also work, making booking a flight at weekends the only viable option.
