Fly on the wings of love with BA’s charity auction

A popular Valentine’s Day gift across the ages is the idea of flying away somewhere special, usually first class, for a weekend of wining, dining and generally being all romantic.

British Airways (BA) certainly has part of that on the agenda after they recently announced a charity auction was to take place which offers one lucky couple the chance to be wined and dined aboard BA’s infamous Concorde.

Should you win the auction, you will be able to enjoy the full red carpet treatment with an exclusive table for two in the main cabin, with a three-course dinner created by a top chef all topped off with a bottle of champers.

The auction was launched this week by Cheshire toastmaster Ian Parrott, who flew to New York on Concorde twice during a previous career, said: “Concorde has always offered the ultimate in romance, you don’t have to fly anywhere to appreciate the very intimate and luxurious surroundings of this beautiful aircraft.

“To have it all to yourself for one evening is possibly the most romantic gesture you can make.”

There is a reserve price on the auction of £500, so whichever lucky partner is taken aboard Concorde, they can be reassured that no expense has been spared.
