Once upon a time, prospective vacation-goers would journey to an IRL storefront, where a person called a “travel agent” would be waiting amid stacks of maps and dog-eared travel guides. (Probably.) There, the travel agent would type away on a gigantic desktop computer for several minutes, summoning the perfect itinerary from some inscrutable database of flight options.
But thanks to the internet, travel agents have been rendered largely obsolete, leaving travelers to sift through thousands of flights on their own. Or at least, it might seem that way.

In case you hadn’t already spotted the onslaught of heart-shaped everything in the shops, it’s Valentine’s Day.
And, one cheeky pilot decided to have a bit of fun by drawing a giant love heart in the sky. The Virgin Atlantic pilot—who was out on a training flight—took a heart-shaped route off the coast of Cornwall, UK.
The love-heart flight path was visible on FlightRadar24.com, and was first spotted by eagle-eyed plane spotter Philip Davis.
