Have you ever noticed how many attractive guys and girls you see while traveling? There was that one you locked eyes with while waiting to board your plane. And the sweetie across the aisle who you wound up telling your life story.
Perhaps it’s time to consider flying as a new dating tool! Air New Zealand is here to help you do just that. This month, Air New Zealand announced the world’s first Matchmaking Flight, which will depart Los Angeles International Airport for Auckland, New Zealand, on October 13, 2009. The airline will fly U.S. singles to the opposite side of the Pacific to help them find potential dates in air or on land in Auckland.

Passengers who sign up for the Matchmaking Flight will be immersed in a full dating experience. Along with a flight full of themed food, drinks, games and entertainment, passengers will enjoy a pre-flight gate party and singles-only party at the SKYCITY Convention Centre once they’ve arrived in Auckland.
Roundtrip ticket prices start at $780 (USD) and can be purchased online at http://www.thematchmakingflight.com/.
As you’re preparing for the flight of a lifetime, here a few tips to keep in mind:
- Singles can create an online profile on the site to connect with other passengers and get a head start on flirting.
- Pretend you are speed-dating and strike up a conversation with everyone you meet. You never know who you might hit it off with.
- Although your adrenaline may be rushing, try to get some sleep on the flight. No amount of concealer can cover the dark circles that will develop after 24 hours of chatting up fellow singles.
With that advice in mind, pack your bags and get ready for some matchmaking magic!
