Diamonds Aren't Always A Girl's Best Friend: AirFastTickets.com Survey Results Unveil Women Prefer To Receive A Romantic Vacation For Valentine's Day

NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AirFastTickets.com (http://www.airfasttickets.com), the newly launched online travel-booking service known for generating the lowest-priced fares, conducted a survey to find out what women really want regarding Valentine's Day travel. The results proved women value memorable experiences versus material presents for the most romantic day of the year. Due to these findings, AirFastTickets.com rounded up its best flight and cruise options for vacation seekers.

Survey Results*:

• 78% of women would prefer a trip to a romantic destination over diamond earrings, a new purse, or even a private dinner catered by a top chef.
• Once the romantic journey is booked, more women would be happiest seeing puppies in every airplane seat than receiving a personal serenade by Adam Sandler (Cue The Wedding Singer) or a head-to-toe makeover.
• Traveling on Valentine's Day without a valentine? Men take note. 42% of women surveyed would be open to giving out their numbers if they were single and someone flirted with them on an airplane.
