Yes, mystery flights are still available, and RedBalloon arranges the whole surprise properly: return flights, accommodation and airport transfers, with the destination revealed only days before departure. Choose your travel dates and departure city, then let the itinerary land in your inbox. For something shorter, a mystery helicopter picnic swaps the getaway for a single afternoon.
A mystery flight package hands over the planning and keeps the destination hidden until the trip is confirmed. Pick a departure city, choose two or three nights away, and RedBalloon books return flights with a major domestic carrier, quality hotel accommodation for two, and transfers from the arrival airport. The itinerary arrives two to three days before departure, leaving just enough time to pack for anywhere. It works because someone else makes every decision except when to leave and how long to stay, which is exactly the appeal for two people who can never agree on a destination.
The 2 Nights Mystery Flight Package departing Sydney and its three-night counterpart run the same format on offer from Melbourne and Brisbane: flights, two people, and a hotel stay booked sight unseen. Longer three-night versions are also available ex Melbourne and Brisbane for a getaway with more time to explore once you land. Travel dates are chosen on booking, weekday or weekend, and flights go out with one of the major domestic carriers, so the only detail withheld is where the plane is actually headed.
The 3 Nights Mystery Flight Package departing Perth sends couples to a surprise destination in the eastern states, with three nights in four-star accommodation and transfers handled at the other end. It suits a longer break for anyone starting from Western Australia, since the mystery destination is set further afield than the shorter east-coast packages, and the extra night gives more time to explore once the surprise is revealed. As with the other packages, the travel dates are set on booking, and the destination itself is confirmed only once the trip is locked in.
The Mystery Flight and Picnic for 2 is a different kind of surprise: a 3-hour helicopter tour departing Strathalbyn that ends with a gourmet picnic at a hidden spot over the Adelaide Hills. A popular choice for a shorter mystery outing, it swaps flights and hotels for aerial views and one memorable afternoon, with a pilot guiding the tour and complimentary water and mints included on board. It suits a couple after a single standout afternoon rather than a multi-night trip, without giving up the surprise element.
A mystery flight voucher gives someone a getaway without handing them the decision, which is exactly the point for a partner who already has everywhere they want to go on a list somewhere. It works for an anniversary, a milestone birthday or a "just because" gift, since the surprise itself is the present.
For a gift with no destination or date attached yet, a RedBalloon gift voucher lets the recipient pick their own mystery flight or picnic when they're ready to book.
Yes. RedBalloon still sells mystery flight packages departing Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, plus a mystery helicopter picnic from Adelaide Hills. Flights, accommodation and transfers are all arranged and confirmed for you in advance; only the destination stays a surprise until your itinerary arrives a few days before departure.
You choose the departure city, travel dates and package length, then RedBalloon books return flights, accommodation and transfers around a destination that isn't disclosed. The full itinerary lands two to three days before departure, giving enough notice to pack without spoiling the surprise.
Each package covers return flights with a major domestic carrier, two or three nights of accommodation for two people, and transfers from the arrival airport. The Adelaide Hills option instead includes a 3-hour helicopter tour and a gourmet picnic, with no flights or accommodation involved.
Yes. Commercial helicopter tours like the Adelaide Hills mystery flight and picnic are flown by a licensed pilot operating under standard aviation safety rules, with the route and landing site pre-arranged by the operator rather than improvised on the day. The 270kg weight limit on the Robinson R44 exists for the same safety reason and applies across the total passenger weight on board.
It suits someone who'd rather be surprised than choose, particularly a couple celebrating an anniversary or a milestone birthday. A gift voucher covers the same idea without locking in a departure city or date, so the recipient can book their own mystery getaway when it suits them.
A scenic flight stays in the air over a known route and lands back where it took off, built around the view. A mystery flight package is a full getaway: you fly out, stay overnight at an undisclosed destination, and fly home days later.
For a trip where the destination isn't a secret, romantic getaways and weekend getaways cover couples' breaks with the location chosen upfront. Helicopter flights suit anyone drawn to the Adelaide Hills package's aerial angle without the mystery, while scenic flights and hot air ballooning offer a shorter day out over familiar ground.
