Where Is The Love? At Austin Airport, With Valentine's Day Offers

AUSTIN, TEXAS — On Valentine's Day eve, love is already in the air at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

Airport officials will be spreading love and chocolate to travelers, as Guest Services staff provide games and candy giveaways from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Feb. 14. This love-suffused distribution of treats is scheduled to occur directly across from Gate 18.

Valentine's Day activities will include:

• Snag a Valentine – a Valentine’s Day inspired Plinko game, a popular pricing game on the Price Is Right, for a chance to win cookies and candy.
• Love AUS backdrop – for the opportunity to take fun photos and create memorable social media moments.
• Candy Giveaways – a table will be set up between the East exit and Departure Lounge, which will feature Valentine’s Day inspired décor.

Concessionaire Delaware North will also celebrate Valentine’s Day with their own set of promotions, including:

• Amy’s Ice Cream will be selling their ever-popular, chocolate-covered strawberries in bag claim near Carousel 5 and at Amy’s concourse food court kiosk across from Gate 21 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Feb. 14. Dipped in Belgian Callebaut Chocolate and topped with a white chocolate drizzle, these fresh, handmade desserts will be available at $12 for a half dozen and $20 for a dozen. "With each order wrapped in an adorable gift box, these treats make the perfect gift-giving opportunity this Valentine’s Day," airport officials noted.
• Book People will be hosting a sale on books and miscellaneous objects for the last-minute Valentine's Day shopper. Patch advises those availing themselves of this offer not to necessarily mention that last-minute nature of potential purchases but that's completely up to you.

Concessionaire Paradies Lagardere will also celebrate with its “Love the Troops” event:

• “Love the Troops” is part of the merchant's “Treat our Troops” program. Starting on Friday, Feb. 15, associates will ask customers if they would like to purchase items for the troops. All donations from customers through their stores are gifted to the USO in San Antonio.
