Pilot Proposes to Flight Attendant in Front of Passengers

A pilot had an important question to ask the flight attendant on a recent flight.

Captain Konrad Hanc and Paula, who both work for LOT Polish Airlines, were traveling from Warsaw to Kraków in Poland on April 21, when he proposed. The special moment was captured on camera by the airline, which shared it on Facebook.

“On today’s flight there is a very special person and I hope that she doesn’t expect anything,” Hanc said in the clip.

“Ladies and gentlemen, about one and a half years ago in this job I met the most wonderful person that completely changed my life,” the beaming pilot, who first met Paula on a flight to Kraków, continued.

“You are most precious to me. You are my greatest dream come true. This is why I have to ask you a favor, honey. Will you marry me?” he asked as got down on one knee while holding a bouquet of flowers.

Hanc’s wife-to-be then ran down the aisle before throwing her arms around her other half and telling him, “Of course, I will.”

“I don’t know if this is the right hand for this,” she laughed, as Hanc handed over the ring. “She said, yes!” he then told the flight’s passengers.

In the Facebook update posted on April 22, the airline wrote, “Engagement on board LOT!💍🤍 Captain Konrad proposed to Stewardess Paula during a flight to Kraków, the city where they first met.”

“You won’t see anything more touching today 🥹,” the company added in the caption.

Calling the proposal “an unusual and extremely touching event,” LOT Polish Airlines added in a short statement obtained by PEOPLE, “The whole action was planned by the Captain in secret from his chosen one.”

“Also, on board the plane were the fiancées’ relatives invited by the Captain, who watched with joy as the stewardess accepted the engagement ring,” the airline continued.

Additionally, commenters left congratulations for the newly-engaged couple. “Beautiful! Thank you LOT for sharing the beautiful stories of your employees,” one person posted, while another added, “A huge congratulations! Wishing you both many years of happiness and love.”

A third person wrote, “Congratulations you two! Wishing you a lifetime of beautiful memories and travels.”
