If your pilot is away for Valentine's Day, you can still leave them a trail of love letters to find.
Love Letters
When your pilot is working on Valentine's Day it can be difficult to come up with a way to show them you love them.
Little love letters hidden in their luggage and flight bag can remind them how much you love them.
Tuck one in their headphone case, another with their sunglasses, maybe "I'm 'shaving' myself for you" in his toiletry bag. You get the idea.
Gift Basket
Another idea if your pilot isn't home on Valentine's Day is to arrange to have a gift basket or their favourite food delivered to their hotel.
Hotel food can be expensive and is often not great quality so your pilot is sure to appreciate a special treat.
You may wish to check with the company if they can make alternative arrangements in case the plane doesn't end up at its intended destination (as is known to happen at times!!).

Send your pilot a gift basket or hamper of their favourite goodies to enjoy on their layover.

Every Pilot Needs A Good Quality Passport Cover - here's a great option for Valentine's Day.
Passport Cover
Passport Cover - since their passport gets a lot of use, it's a great idea for them to put it in a cover. What better cover than one which reminds them how much you love them every time they look at it?
For other passport cover options, head over to Airport Tag to see their huge range.

Fresh Balls
If you like to have a bit of fun with your other half, why not buy him a tube of Fresh Balls!
What (male) pilot wouldn't love to make sure the boys arrive at their destination feeling as fresh as a daisy, despite the long hours squished in the seat.

What (male) pilot wouldn't want Fresh Balls?!
Comfy Travel Pillow
Even though they're usually at the pointy end of the plane, they're still prone to spending more time than the average person as a passenger.
Make sure they arrive home to you well rested with plenty of energy for more important activities with a lightweight travel pillow.
Personalised Fly Safe Keyring
Looking for a small reminder of your love that your pilot can carry with them all the time?
A personalised Fly Safe key ring is the perfect gift.
