SUMMARY: A special themed flight from SFO to Sydney on Feb. 26 for Mardi Gras will feature drag queens, pink cocktails and a cabaret performed by the flight crew.

Air New Zealand is delving into the gay and lesbian market with a special themed flight that will feature drag queens, pink cocktails and a cabaret performed by the flight crew.

The destination for the airline's one-time "Pink Flight," scheduled to depart San Francisco International Airport on Feb. 26, is the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney, Australia, one of the world's most well-attended gay events, said Jodi Williams, an Air New Zealand marketing director.

"We are looking at tailoring the inseat entertainment and having gay-friendly movies and contests and different music and things like that," Williams said. The airline also plans to throw a "Get-Onboard-Girlfriend" going away party for its passengers, who will pay an average of $1,000 round trip.

The flight will be modeled after an Auckland-to-Sydney trip Air New Zealand made this year for the gay Mardi Gras, according to Williams. Before that full flight, the crew put on pink feather boas and sang for the couple of hundred passengers, she said.

"Even the pilot was wearing fairy wings and got into it," Williams said.

Since it takes 14 hours to get from San Francisco to Sydney, the airline also plans to schedule in some down time during the overnight flight.

"We had to think about keeping people entertained while knowing they will want their beauty sleep," she said. (AP)

horatio said:

this has not too much to do with gay people as it has to do with pre-flight nightmares

I might be there then!

Holes in an airplane? That's gonna be one hell of a suction.

I was once on a Christmas flight when all the cabin crew were dressed up as elves. It wasn't pleasant.

I gave birth on the night before Christmas, the midwives had christmas decorations hanging off them

ZombieKitten said:

Must be pretty traumatic for a baby when the first thing they see in this world is a friggin red-nosed reindeer or something, lol.

ZombieKitten said:

It doesn't inspire confidence, does it? The elves all seemed smashed out of their heads and were singing 'Jingle Bells' and clapping mid-flight.

AWESOME.


"Even the pilot was wearing fairy wings and got into it," Williams said. I can just picture the poor bastard.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Yeah, it's a long-ass flight lol ...it could start to get annoying after the 5-6 hour mark.

When I went, the plane was half-empty...I had the entire row to myself, slept like crazy, watched tons of movies, and they kept coming around like every 45 minutes with more food lol...

On a flight like this,
one would think that that kind of time would sort of schedule itself, by itself.

There's some quality comedy on this thread.
