Love is in the air for one same-sex couple

Wednesday, 17 July 20133 min read

Air New Zealand is searching for a Kiwi couple to celebrate a same sex marriage at 30,000ft.

Same sex marriage becomes legal in New Zealand on August 19, and Air New Zealand is on the hunt for a Kiwi couple to prove that love is truly in the air by tying the knot on a flight between Queenstown and Auckland.

Air New Zealand’s head of global brand development, Jodi Williams, says the airline expects to be inundated with couples wanting to have a unique wedding experience.

Modern Family actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson will be onboard the wedding flight.

"Jesse has been deeply committed to campaigning for marriage equality and the fact that he is prepared to travel from the United States to be here demonstrates the historic nature of this event," Williams said.

Entries close July 26.

The chosen couple will also receive a honeymoon to Palm Springs in the United States.
