If you've ever fantasized about going on a date with one of the members of UK boy band, One Direction, you're going to want to read further.
There's a contest going on in which the winners get an in-flight date with not one, but all of the members of One Direction. Winners will get to fly sky high with Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik in this once in a lifetime opportunity.
British Airways is working together with One Direction, one of the biggest bands out there, to host a lunch date on board a British Airways jet. The in-flight date is not only a good cause for One Direction fans, but the event will also help raise funds for Comic Relief. At least half of the proceeds from the text-to-win competition will go to Flying Start, British Airways' global charity partnership with Comic Relief, which helps poor children across the world.
On July 21, eight lucky fans will get a chance to fly originally named flight BA1D. The eight winners will also be able to take two guests along for the hour-long flight. Guests will enjoy a lunch on board while chatting and taking photos with members of One Direction. At least one passenger in the group must be 18 years of age or older.
The flight plan is a top secret. Winners will meet in a secret location in central London and taken to an undisclosed airport to board the plane. They will then be taken back to that location after the flight.
Mary Barry, British Airways community investment manager, said: "We are absolutely thrilled to team up with One Direction for this fantastic competition and we're so grateful to them for giving us this chance to raise lots of money for Flying Start.
"This really is a money-can't-buy opportunity and a dream come true for eight very lucky fans."
To enter UK fans need to answer a simple question.
Q. What is the name of One Direction's debut DVD that went to Number One in over 25 countries?
A: What Makes You Beautiful The Live Tour
B: Up All Night The Live Tour
C: Gotta Be You The Live Tour
Those entering then text the word 'BA1D' followed by their answer A, B or C to 82272. Texts are charged at £3 each and there is a limit of three entries per person. As this is a fundraising contest, British Airways will not make any money from the competition.
Although the money goes to a good cause, there is also a way to enter for free my regular snail mail. Fans need to submit their answers by post to British Airways Plc, Flying Start Department, Waterside Speedbird Way, Harmondworth UB7 OGB.
The last day to enter this contest is July 11 and it is only open to UK residents. For more information about contest rules and how to enter, Click Here.
