In-Flight Romance Goes Viral

Love was in the air on an Alaska Airlines flight from New York City to Dallas Monday. Literally.

Passenger Rosey Blair unintentionally turned into an in-flight matchmaker after asking the woman behind her if she would switch seats so she could sit next to her boyfriend.

Blair proceeded to document the duo’s interaction via social media, pointing out that the man and woman—who were without wedding rings—appeared to hit it off immediately, touched arms and even went to the bathroom together.

Last night on a flight home, my boyfriend and I asked a woman to switch seats with me so we could sit together. We made a joke that maybe her new seat partner would be the love of her life and well, now I present you with this thread.

“Both look like sexy fitness buffs and they are chatting chatting and smiling at each other and we haven’t even left the runway!!!! I hope they get to fall in love!” she wrote.

The budding romance quickly gained a massive audience and even caught the attention of Monica Lewinsky.

After the flight, Blair photographed the two passengers walking with their luggage through Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport together.

Former professional soccer player Euan Holden confirmed he was involved in the in-flight interaction, telling Blair that the unidentified woman felt “positively” despite all of the attention.

So here are my updates: I have spoken to #planebae @EuanHolden and have heard that our mystery woman is still unsure about the spotlight but feels positively about all of this. You might see some of us on your tv tomorrow morning.

Holden also took to Twitter to thank users for the support using the hashtag #PlaneBae.

Just want to take a second and thank you all for being so kind and supportive these last 24 hours . Haven’t seen this much love from millions of strangers to another in a very long time! #PlaneBae

Blair confirmed that the pair were still talking, giving us all hope that this mid-air fairytale might come true.

One of the best experiences of this strange time has been learning that @EuanHolden is a true gentleman. He has been checking in on myself and Houston as well as unnamed #prettyplanegirl . This story took off at a level no one was prepared for and he’s taking care of all of us.
