    oh great idea - phone ahead see if the cabin crew could help you out! You never know the airline could end up helping making it really special!

    I just think it would be uncomfortable, being on the plane, all these eyes on you, think she would be more embarrassed than anything, rather than enjoy it, it is a good idea but dont think it suits us

    Aye...
    I do know what you mean.
    And you want it to be memorable for the right reasons.
    Not for nerves, red faces ect ect.
    Good luck :)

    Asking parents is definitely the right thing to do - very courteous, and they will really appreciate that you cared enough about their feelings to do it. :)

    Does the hotel do a room service breakfast? Could be a nice very private way to propose.
