Give them wings...



Love pangs, aches of longing and distance-sickness... these are the symptoms. What's the cause? Kilometers. Lots of them. It's been a long time since the lovers last saw each other and every second that goes by the kilometers feel progressively more like light-years.

Aircrafts fly, so do UFOs (that's what the F stands for...), birds and insects too but humans are not known to have the physical capacity to displaces themselves over long distances via flight. Having confirmed (telephonically) that both James and Tatjana are human beings, it is apparent that neither of the two can pop over for a visit without some kind of flying mobeel such asmaybe an aeroplane (for example...).

The Valentines Airlines Group on Facebook is over 1800 people strong today and as much as that sounds super fantastic the truth is that no airline has taken the bait. James and Tatjana are small-fries and as much as their little advertising strategy is already worth more than a return ticket it seems that they haven't had much luck with their proposals. It is (in retrospect) clear as daylight that it would make more sense for a small company in need of publicity (with strings to pull in the aviation industry) to take advantage of this offer. The couple has come to a seemingly dead end.

Thumbs are being held... empty in-boxes are frequently checked and hope is still around but reality has struck. The race against time seems to be getting the better of this little quest. Regardless of the outcome, the love-struck long-distancers are blown away by the amount of support they have received from Valentines Airlines. The emails, the forwarded friends requests, the posts and the team-spirit. If for nothing else, Valentines Airlines is a success and will continue to grow and gain support for long-distance lovers.
