British Airways is set to make this Valentine’s Day unforgettable for its passengers with a range of love-themed offerings, creating an enchanting atmosphere for travellers. From delightful inflight entertainment to exclusive city break offers, love will be in the air for all those flying with British Airways.

Valentine’s Day: British Airways making 14 February unforgettable

Regardless of whether the journey is short-haul or long-haul, every passenger departing from Heathrow and Gatwick on the 14th of February will be greeted with a complimentary heart-shaped chocolate upon boarding.

First and Club class passengers are in for an additional treat with exclusive Valentine’s themed desserts, such as the exquisite white chocolate mousse heart with passion fruit and mango for First class travellers.

For those seeking a touch of romance at 30,000 feet, British Airways has relaunched its ‘Love is in the air’ inflight entertainment category.

Passengers can enjoy classic rom-coms like Marry Me, Along Came Polly, and Music and Lyrics on long-haul flights.

However, for those not inclined towards Valentine’s Day, suspenseful options like Birds of Prey, Nocturnal Animals, and The Meg are available for a limited time.

British Airways lounges will also reflect the love-filled ambiance, offering heart-shaped gingerbread in the Heathrow Club and First lounges, complemented by fresh flower arrangements.

Rosé lovers can indulge in an exclusive wine tasting at the Whispering Angel bar in the Club Lounge at T5B from 12:00.

Travellers from the USA can experience the sweetness of Valentine’s Day in all British Airways lounges, including San Francisco, New York, and Boston, with a pink gin-based cocktail called ‘Strawberry Aviation.’

Short-haul travellers have the opportunity to elevate their journey with the High Life Café.

Customers can pre-order a Champagne and chocolate celebration set, or choose from a selection of Valentine’s gifts available at the High Life Shop, including Tom Ford’s Café Rose Eau du Parfum and Hot Diamonds’ ‘The Romantic Pendant.’

For those looking to book a romantic getaway, British Airways offers a special city break deal for travel in March 2024, available for booking between 12th and 19th February 2024.

As British Airways continues to make flying an extraordinary experience, passengers are encouraged to contact their Global Travel Account Manager for further details on these Valentine’s Day offerings.

British Airways is sharing the love with its customers this Valentine’s Day with a range of special touches including seasonal desserts, a dedicated ‘Love is in the air’ in-flight entertainment channel and sweet treats in its lounges.

To celebrate the ‘month of love’, the airline’s culinary experts have created a bespoke Valentine’s Day afternoon tea for those travelling in First. The indulgent afternoon tea comprises a range of finger sandwiches, a chocolate orange Battenberg, raspberry tart and a chocolate love heart cookie. To accompany the sweet treats, customers can select from the Warre’s Colheita 2009 Tawny Port or the Sauternes, both carefully selected by the airline’s Master of Wine. 

For those travelling in Club World, the airline has lovingly created a chocolate mousse dessert and a raspberry and rosewater Valentine’s macaroon as part of the afternoon tea in Club Europe. For customers wishing to pair these sweet treats with a tipple, the airline recommends Graham’s Six Grapes Reserve Ruby Port.

To help customers get in the romantic mood this February, British Airways has also launched a dedicated ‘Love is in the air’ in-flight entertainment channel available in every cabin. Customers looking to enjoy a date night for one in the air can settle in and select from a range of romantic classics and bingeworthy boxsets such as Bridget Jones’s Diary, You’ve Got Mail and The Mating Game.

Elsewhere, the airline’s customers travelling through its lounges on 14 February can also enjoy some Valentine’s Day treats and floral decor. In British Airways’ Galleries and First lounges at Heathrow Terminal 5, customers can enjoy Whispering Angel, Baileys’ popular Strawberries and Cream liqueur and a selection of luxury chocolates before they head off for their flight.

Calum Laming, British Airways’ Chief Customer Officer, said:

Whether our customers are heading off on a romantic break, a half-term family getaway or a solo adventure for one, we know that every journey is original and indeed special. We hope these little gestures go a long way in showing our appreciation and make our customers feel more loved than ever this Valentine’s month.
