I saw that ad, too. And my thought, similar to Mel's was that one little plane (no matter how big) would be hard to get enough random people to find one that was even interesting. Now if the plane was a boat (more room and more people and more time) and all were Extroverts and Perceivers (I wouldn't care as much about N/S or T/F) who shared my religious and political views, I would be thrilled. Even more so if they all had at least a college education. But then, if you limited a boat to people who fit that description and were ages 40-55 you might need to find every unmarried person in the US who fits those criteria just to fill to boat!

I will be flying through LAX in June and July, so I will be on the lookout for those good looking guys and gals...but I won't hold my breath and I will mentally prepare to be annoyed.

Unless they sit on opposite sides of the plane and refuse to talk to each other.

Personally, I think this is a great idea, but we do need to be realistic.

We are singles "trapped" in a plane with fellow singles, and headed to a beautiful country. The ad said that it is an organized event. That means fun interactions that are out of our hands. That takes some of the cold calling aspects away from you guys that find it difficult to approach a woman. It also means that every woman you meet is SINGLE AND LOOKING.
To the guy who mentioned rejection. What is that? You talk to someone...either you both hit it off or you don't. Rejection? What are you doing, proposing marriage? You need to hang out with someone who understands the concept "if she is not into you, move on to the next one". It is not rejection if it is not meant to be. It is not personal, unless, of course, it is. Like when you put your foot in your mouth, but other than that.....
To me, the only real downside is proximity. Are all these singles going to be from my city? Am I going to meet that special someone, and she happens to live 800 miles away with a great job, doesn't want to relocate, and neither do I? And worse, what if I meet a great gal in NZ...oh that would just be a knife through the heart.
Dear Abby, I met this wonderful woman in NZ, we fell in love and want to get married. I cannot leave my life in the U.S., and she cannot leave her life in NZ. What do we do? signed "Dilemma"
Dear Dilemma, Why in the world did you take a singles flight to NZ knowing full well this was possible, and that you would not be able to relocate. Are you retarded? Did you take the short bus to school? I hope you learn a valuable lesson from this, Dilemma. Goodbye!

I love this idea and it happens to come from a country I want to travel to. In fact, one of my favorites! I will be too busy finishing my doctorate for the next couple of years but if this catches-on I will absolutely participate in two years! Oh, if I happened to be lucky enough to fall in love with a New Zealander (or any nationality on the plane or in-country) I would make it work somehow. The hard part is meeting the right person in this world not working out the details of life. Cheers and best wishes to those on the maiden voyage!

While I truly believe that anything is possible, I actually recently met and fell in love with a wonderful man from New Zealand on a cruise in California.  The connection we found with each other was so amazing that we decided to continue a long, really long distance relationship traveling back and forth for a year or two.  We are both very marriage minded and knew that within a year or so someone would need to make the move to the other country.  We were both very open minded about this decision.  Within a matter of months, he decided that it was just too difficult and broke my heart.  I still believe that anything is possible, but also believe that it is crucial that the other person also believes that too and is willing to go thru what it takes to make that come true.  Unfortunatley I was appearantly alone in that area.  Maybe I'll take this trip anyway for the shear irony of it all.  Best of luck to those who go on this journey.
