Love is in the air: Man proposes on Emirates flight to Australia
A video clip was released by the airline showing anxious Mackinnon giving Loudon a bouquet of flowers before kneeling down on one knee to pop the question.
Love was 35,000 feet in the air when passenger Stuart Mackinnon proposed to Victoria Loudon on an Emirates flight to Brisbane, Australia.
A video clip was released by the airline showing anxious Mackinnon giving Loudon a bouquet of flowers before kneeling down on one knee to pop the question.
The crew transformed the onboard lounge and sang Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World,” with the help of a Baradene College Concert Band that was luckily on the same flight.
After Loudon said yes, the crew members and passengers cheered the newly-engaged couple.
“It was always going to be a truly special moment in my life but what happened took it to a level I could never have imagined,” said Mackinnon in a statement.
“There could have been no better setting anywhere in the world. The nerves I had were put at ease with the fantastic crew members, the Captain and all the passengers.”
