<\/p>\n

Lately, we\u2019ve all been bombarded with silly airline promotions (see Ryanair<\/a>, Ryanair<\/a>, or Ryanair<\/a>). This time, love is in the air, and the Kiwi\u2019s are stepping up to the plate. Just recently, Air New Zealand announced<\/a> a new \u201cmatchmaking flight\u201d on selected overnight flights\u00a0from L.A. to Auckland.<\/p>\n

Festivities begin online, with their own social media website <\/a>and pre-boarding airport party. Then, in between the champagne and rounds of speed dating, the crew might just\u00a0break into dance <\/a> (naturally, Beyonce\u2019s \u201cSingle Ladies\u201d is involved). Once in Auckland, you can try out some more brutal pick-up lines at the full scale mixer they will take you to.\u00a0Sounds like a script idea for\u00a0“The Hangover”<\/a> writers.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, more than a quarter of New Zealand\u2019s adult population is unmarried, and diamonds last forever, (ladies, who knows?). The first Matchmaking Flight sold out, but you can make a reservation here<\/a> for about $780 round trip, which doesn\u2019t include the cost of cleaning the mothball scent out of your suit coat (or the honeymoon, if things go well). Best of luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
