Speed-dating at 35,000 feet in Europe
Catherine recently talked about finding love at the airport and the popularity of online social networking to meet someone while hauled-up at the airport. But, if you want to skip the whole courage building process to approach the hottie you saw whilst boarding, or want immediate interaction with not one, but plenty of singles looking for in-flight spice, Central Europe's low-budget airline Sky Europe will organize a speed-dating session for you mid-air. "Come with a bright smile and look forward to a great trip", I had to laugh when I read that in its list of guidelines.
So far the Sky Dating service has been offered on Sky Europe flights to Italy, Portugal, Belgium and the Netherlands. It works like any other speed-dating service: you get 5-minutes with every person signed up and results are emailed 3 days post event. Unfortunately, you can't sign-up for it on a spontaneous whim, you have to register for it in advance.
If you want to travel especially to meet someone, you can get the Sky Date package to a European capital. Trips are normally 1-3 days, your accommodation is taken care of and city tours will be organized, all with the idea of getting you hooked to someone on the trip. According to a recent article on MSNBC: on the last Sky Date flight - which combined speed-dating with overnight hotel stay and guided city tour, three couples were formed by the end of the trip.
Hmmm. Excuses for being single are running out way too fast! :)
