One Direction join BA for dinner-date charity flight
There’s only One Direction for this top-selling band – and that’s up.
Up in the air, that is, on a British Ariways charity flight to raise funds for Comic Relief.
The fab five, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik, will be hosting a dinner-date on the BA charter flight on July 21 for eight lucky fans who will have the chance to win tickets in a competition being launched on social media sites today.
Each of the eight winners will be able to take two guests on the hour-long flight, enjoy lunch on board, chat with the band and have photographs taken with them.
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.
