Airports aren’t just for getting away, sometimes they are for getting hitched. DatingAdvice.com recently polled thousands of single flyers on their 100 most flirtatious departure locations and Kentucky made the list not once, but three times.

Before you take off for Valentine’s Day, let’s take a look at what makes Kentucky’s airports so love-centric.

#54 Blue Grass Airport, Lexington
Yes, there’s the premium bourbon and fine wines at Cork & Barrel, and all-day breakfast at Dunkin’ Donuts, but its really the people who put Blue Grass Airport on the map. Whether you find yourself sitting next to an athlete, educator, distiller, or City Editor, you’re sure to enjoy the company.

#60 Muhammad Ali International, Louisville
Derby City’s airport earns its spot on the list with direct flights to romantic destinations like Miami, New Orleans, and, of course, Dallas Love Field.

#69 Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International, Hebron
Straddling two states is a nice way to double the dating pool, and recent upgrades to lounge areas + murals from local artists combine to make an attractive environment.
