Welcome aboard to the Matchmaking Flight. - Air New Zealand

Wow.

I don't think the zoo was a great suggestion for meeting people, but some folks really feel an airplane flight might be the best matchmaking option open to them. Check out Air New Zealand's new marketing strategy: Find "the One" on a romantic adventure trip to New Zealand.

I wonder how Air New Zealand will measure their success - do they want 80% of their participants to hook up, for example? Or is it enough to expand your horizons? I can't knock the idea too harshly, since BeCs did meet Jens hiking in Costa Rica. But let's be honest, don't these things happen precisely when people aren't looking for them?

And please remember that not only was I NOT looking for it, I DIDN'T WANT a boyfriend. Maybe you have to be extremely opposed to the idea, in which case they would be better off sponsoring a "We Don't Want To Find a Partner" trip, which might actually be more fun, more natural and increase the chances of future "collaborations" between parties...
