Circus in the skies

[local 12 proud]

"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....

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 its couple hundreds passengers, she said.

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

"They could probably do very well with it," Wilke said. "It really sounds like someone put together the idea of what a gay cruise is and just applied that to the air. And even gay cruises don't feature employees in particular outfits or gay-themed movies."

Air New Zealand's Williams said the airline still is working out some details of the flight plan, such as what will go inside the goodie bags passengers will get.... :unsure:

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

Interesting marketing idea. I wonder if it will be profitable for them. Sounds like it will given that the first flight was full.
