Looking for romance but not interested in any of the roughly 3 million people who inhabit the USA? Want your next mate to have the sexiest accent in the world? Read on. 

Virgin Atlantic wants to send single Americans on a whirlwind trip to London that will, hopefully, result in a budding romance. Called Tickets to Love, the airline’s new Valentine’s Day sweepstakes is open for submissions through February 13.

According to Virgin’s research, more than half of single Americans (64%) would be up for dating a Brit, and even more (69%) are open to finding love while traveling. Many single Americans are eager for adventurous travel, so if The Great British Bake-Off and Ted Lasso have you thinking about some UK-accented love, this contest is for you. To enter, you’ll need to convince Virgin why you deserve to be on the trip and explain what kind of romance you’re looking for.

Eight winners will be selected for the love-fueled adventure. Romantic hopefuls will fly from JFK in NYC to London-Heathrow on March 11, returning March 13. No, that’s not a lot of time to find true love, but Virgin has set up an itinerary packed with romantic opportunities and assistance from experts in the hopes of forging love connections.

The trip starts in the Virgin Atlantic Airways Clubhouse at JFK, where winners will enjoy premium food and drink options. TV star and dating expert Jared Haibon (The Bachelorette and The Bachelor) will be on hand via video to provide expert advice on finding a match. For further insight, each winner will have a personal love reading from a psychic.

The flight itself will be a time to mix and mingle. Each winner gets a glass of champagne upon boarding, then will be treated to a three-course meal and a chance to meet other singles in The Loft, the cabin’s social space. Included in the trip is a one night stay at The Standard in London’s Kings Cross neighborhood.

Travel can be a great way to meet new people, including a mate, and Virgin is ready to make that match happen. Enter the sweepstakes here before the February 13th deadline.
