Cathay Dragon hosts wedding

Share  

Cathay Dragon has earned a well-deserved reputation over the years for providing its passengers with superior levels of service at every stage of their journey – but it was another kind of service that made one couple’s flight from Shanghai all the more special, with the happy pair exchanging their wedding vows at 35,000 feet as they made their way to Hong Kong. 

Best-known to their legions of online followers by their travel blogging names, Mr Ha and Ms Zhen, the couple, who were joined on flight KA877 by more than 160 passengers, including relatives, friends, media and fans, are the recent winners of Marriage in the Air, a competition organised by Cathay Dragon together with three of Mainland China’s leading online travel platforms – Ctrip, Mafengwo and Qyer.

As part of Cathay Dragon’s promise to deliver a Life Well Travelled, the airline ensured that every detail of the couple’s special day was taken care of. Wedding-themed decorations were arranged at the check-in counters, boarding gate and inside the aircraft cabin in order to achieve an appropriate ambiance while all guests also received specially branded Marriage in the Air souvenir bags, containing candies, boutonnieres and flower decorations – all of which proved to be popular accessories during onboard photo-taking sessions with the couple.

Once the Cathay Dragon flight reached cruise altitude, the master of ceremonies conducted the traditional wedding ritual: the couple exchanged rings and the invited guests toasted the moment with champagne.
