Mile High Club or Not, You Could Have Valentine's Dinner on the Concorde

February 8, 2012 at 1:25 PM | by | Comments (0)

The Concorde may technically be dead, but airline romance isn’t, if British Airways’ Valentine’s deal is anything to go by.

A couple of years ago, the UK airline did a neat Valentine’s Day party kinda thing on flights between London and New York; this year, the celebration is on a more personal scale, though still rather spectacular: dinner for two on the Concorde.

The bad news? You’ll have to pay for it. The good? It’s for charity! Just bid for it in a blind email auction, and you’ll win dinner for two on board BA’s flagship Concorde G-BOAC at Manchester Airport, in the Runway Visitor Park.

Servers aside, you’ll have the plane to the two of you, with BA amping up the ick goo factor with rose petals and fairy lights in the cabin. You’ll be fed a three-course dinner by an unnamed “top chef” and, if that’s anything like airline food, you’ll be grateful that they also include a bottle of Champagne to wash it down.

Interested? Email your bid (minimum £500) and contact deets to valentines.concorde@ba.com by midnight Sunday, February 12. The winner will be notified the next day.

Of course, due to your technically being on the ground and overseen by staff at every turn, Mile High Club membership may be difficult to obtain on this one. Sad face.
