British Airways brought romance to the skies this Valentine’s Day with love-themed desserts, complimentary heart chocolates, hours of rom-coms available through the airline’s ‘Love is in the air’ inflight entertainment category, as well as romantic gift ideas from its High Life Shop.

“Whether flying short-haul or long-haul, every customer travelling on 14 February from Heathrow and Gatwick felt the love with a complimentary heart shaped chocolate upon boarding,” a spokesperson for British Airways said.

Customers in First and Club also enjoyed some Valentine’s themed desserts, including white chocolate mousse heart with passion fruit and mango.

On the entertainment front, British Airways has re-launched its popular ‘Love is in the air’ category on its inflight entertainment.

Customers looking to soak up the romance on long-haul flights can watch a range of rom-com classics, including Marry Me, Along Came Polly and Music and Lyrics amongst others.

Customers relaxing before their flight were also able to enjoy heart-shaped gingerbread at the Heathrow Club and First lounges, plus beautiful fresh flower arrangements in both the airlines Heathrow and Gatwick lounges.

For those customers who wanted to make their trip a little more special, or for those whose gifts got lost in the post, the High Life Café was offering a pre-ordered Champagne and chocolate celebration set. There was also a range of Valentine’s gifts from the High Life Shop.

In addition, British Airways Holidays also launched a range of city break offers (on sale until Feb 19) from £142pp to celebrate the most romantic date of the year customers can choose from a range of options including Paris, Copenhagen, Dublin, Turin, Edinburgh, Nice, Prague, Stockholm, and Verona.
