Qantas pilot proves love is in the air

A Qantas pilot has taken the saying love is in the air to new heights, by proposing to his girlfriend mid-flight.

Captain Dooley Ellis, who was flying more than 500 passengers from Melbourne to Los Angeles last weekend, made the very public proposal through the A380's announcement system.

"We have a very special passenger on board today folks - her name is Anna," he said.

"She's travelling back to South America now to visit her family and I want to make sure she comes back to me in Australia.

"So now that I have her full attention ... quieres casarte conmigo? Will you marry me?"

Captain Ellis then appears in the business class cabin where Anna is seated, while carrying flowers.
