And when a romance begins to unfold before your very eyes, what else can you do in 2018 but live-tweet it? That's just what Rosey did, providing minute-by-minute updates on the mystery couple's budding romance to an eagerly awaiting public.
While some found it hard to believe that a meeting of the souls could happen on such a short flight, others shared similar experiences.
"My fiancé and I met while on the same flight! We were flying to DC... someone asked him where his final stop was & he said "Pittsburgh" So... I naturally interrupted their convo & said "I'm from there!!" I always think if he wasn't asked that, would we have ever met," wrote Twitter user Gabriella DeLuca.
"I was finally seated next to a cute guy when a woman asked me to switch seats so she could sit next to her daughter. We only spoke for a minute but it was long enough to #CatchFlightsAndFeelings Both of us ended up on the same #flyawaybus. Happily Married 9yrs now," Erin Gann also shared on the social media platform.
It seems that planes are more romantic than we realised – the stories kept coming through.
"I met my beautiful future wife Becs on a plane LHR-DEN 10 years ago," Warwick Goodall wrote, sharing an image of the plane tickets the couple kept as a souvenir.
"My cousin met his wife at an airport bar. He legit purposely missed his flight so he could keep talking to her. Airport love is real," Shannon Health shared.
"I sat in the wrong seat 20 years ago… 17yrs married, 2 kids & a dog later," another Twitter user wrote.
"My parents met on a plane! My mom was going to the bathroom but they hit turbulence so my dad told her to sit by him. They talked the entire flight. He peeped her work logo on her watch & called every single store until he found which one she worked at. Going on 30 years," wrote Twitter user Gail.
So if you happen to be looking for love, it can't hurt to strike up a conversation with that attractive stranger on your next flight – it might just change your life.
