Not me, but in early 1981, my dad was flying back from Sydney to London for work. He and his colleague got bumped up into First Class. Nice.
As all MNetters will know, 😂 in First, you have nice big gaps between seats. Dad sat 'beside' a pleasant young woman, who'd just been to visit her sister in Australia. They chatted, politely, on and off.
At Heathrow, those in First were asked to stay seated, and some men in black came on and escorted this young woman off the plane, before the others. Dad wasn't phased, he understands how First Class works. But was pleased to have enjoyed the experience.
Following day, at home, Charles and Di announced their engagement. Dad said 'That was the woman I chatted to on the plane, yesterday!'.
Only my dad could have missed the months of hype leading up to it.... 🙄😂
