How to propose to your partner on an aeroplane 

Holidays are inherently romantic – from getting to the place, visiting new places, and checking into hotels, it’s easy to understand why. This is why the destination, and more importantly, in-flight proposals have become so popular. 

So, if you’re looking to plan a mile high “Yes, yes, a million times yes”, then keep reading! Here is your complete guide to popping the question on an aeroplane. 

Choose the Right Ring

When proposing, it’s important to have the right engagement ring. There’s no need to spend a specific amount of your salary, just aim for something that is high quality and is close to what your partner would want. 

If you’re uncertain where to start, the team at Valentina Engagement Rings can help! 

Consider your Partner

Before you go booking tickets and planning holidays, take a moment to consider your partner. Is this how they actually want to be proposed to? Although mid-air proposals may look great on social media, they might not fit your partner’s idea of romance. 

So, if needed, do some research to make sure this is the right proposal plan for your partner.

Splurge on the Flight

Being stuck next to a stranger or being crammed in a middle row is going to make it tough to make your proposal romantic. If possible, we recommend upgrading your flight to a higher class – perhaps premium economy or first class. You should get an aisle seat at the very least. 

This will make the flight more comfortable and extra special, plus, you’ll have space in the aisle and your seat to work with. 

Speak to Airline

If you plan on proposing on a plain, it’s important to notify the airline. First, this will ensure that things go smoothly and safely. Second of all, the staff on board will likely be more than happy to help. 

You’ve likely heard countless stories of staff going above and beyond when it comes to proposals and airline workers are no exception. Don’t forget to introduce yourself and remind the cabin crew who you are when you get on the flight. 

Put the Ring in the Right Place

Don’t forget to pack your ring in the right place. Just to clarify, this place is not your checked luggage. To avoid security accidentally pulling the box out of your bag in front of your partner, “accidentally” end up in a different security line. 

Don’t forget to record it

Don’t all your hard work and planning go to waste by forgetting to record the big moment! Speak to a member of staff or ask someone that is seated nearby to record your proposal so you can look back on it for years to come. 

This is your final boarding call!

There you have it, your complete guide to proposing on a plane! Good luck!
