A man has caused a storm on social media after proposing to his now-fiancée during an EasyJet flight.
The unnamed man got down on one knee to his partner while standing outside the toilets during the flight, which was travelling to Spain.
Passenger Nicki Gunner recorded the mid-flight proposal and shared it to TikTok, writing, ‘Nothing beats an East Jet proposal outside the toilets on a flight to Benidorm.’
Nicki recorded the smiling man, dressed in a white shirt and denim shorts, as he held his partner’s hands in his and popped the question.
There was a brief interruption as one person tried to get out of the toilet, but they quickly backed away after they spotted what was about to happen
His fiancée appeared delighted with the proposal and said yes before her would-be husband placed the engagement ring on her hand for the first time.
The passengers, who had a clear view of the proposal due to it taking place at the top of the aisleway and by the toilets, quickly erupted into cheers, marking a happy start to the couple’s holiday.
Shortly after, the EasyJet cabin crew made an announcement that one might expect to hear on a birthday, wishing them ‘Many happy returns’.

Nicki’s video quickly racked up over one million views in two days, with people taking to the comment section to share their thoughts on the proposal.
The reception was mixed, with many questioning why he would pick the unique proposal location. One questioned, ‘Why not wait until you were in Benidorm?’
Another agreed, asking, ‘Why didn’t he propose at the destination.’ A third took a harsher stance, writing, ‘I’d be questioning my life choices.’
However, others took a different view, one said, ‘Just let them enjoy life, we don’t know the backstory…could have met on a plane, could be that is when he knew he loved her. People are so sad to put these people down for what they are doing.’
Another added, ‘Omg, leave them alone, not everyone can afford all the singing, all dancing, flowers raining from above proposal, good luck to them and congratulations, may you have many years of happiness.’
It comes after a woman was left with second-hand embarrassment after watching holidaymakers race for sunbeds in Lanzarote.
Rachael, 28, from the northeast of England, was sitting on her balcony before the swimming pool at the Barcelo hotel in Playa Blanca opened at 7am.
But while she was enjoying the early hours from her room, others in the hotel had a different idea and stood waiting to get their sunbeds.
In the clip, shared by Nicki Gunner, passengers erupted in cheers after the man got down on one knee
When the pool opened, chaos quickly unfolded as people, who one viewer familiar with the resort claimed are ‘all English’, rushed to grab the best loungers available.
Rachael recorded the keen individuals, including children and parents, quickly throwing their towels on sunbeds to claim their positions.
The TikTok quickly gained over 200,000 views, with people in the comment section equally shocked as Rachael.
One said, ‘Please no, this is my worst nightmare. I’ve got such second-hand embarrassment here! Life is too short, people!
‘Go out on your holiday and explore, go to the beach, take in some culture, taste local cuisine, go to other towns and villages. What’s the point in going away to sit there roasting in the sun all day?’
A second wrote, ‘It’s so embarrassing. Imagine waking up in the luxury of a foreign holiday and saying to your other half, ‘Can’t lie here and enjoy being close to you, babe. I’ve got to go get a sunbed, we won’t lie on until lunch’.’
Another added, ‘I’ve been to this hotel. There are so many sunbeds, everywhere, I cannot believe this is needed. But then I see what I see.’
A third questioned, ‘Which hotel is this so I can cross it off my list?’ A fourth said, ‘You couldn’t pay me to stay in a hotel like this. I’m on holiday to relax not fight!’
Viewers took to the comment section to share their thoughts on the proposal – and opinions were mixed
Another said that he has stayed at the resort before and that those racing for the sun loungers are often ‘all English,’ he claimed.
Shortly before, amother was caught up in the great sunbed debate after revealing she gets up early to reserve eight loungers for her family – before heading off for breakfast and a shopping trip.
Stephanie was on holiday in Fuerteventura in Las Palmas, Spain, with her partner and six children, and faced a common dilemma affecting holidaymakers across the continent – the battle for a spot around the pool.
The 29-year-old mother from Wales revealed her answer to securing sun loungers is to wake up at the crack of dawn to place towels on the beds, before going about her morning as normal.
Posting a clip of her strategy on TikTok, Stephanie argued she has a ‘big family’ and so needs to take drastic measures to ensure they’re all comfortable during the day.
The video – which racked up 120,000 views – was met with criticism from viewers who questioned why she had taken up spaces at the pool during the height of summer.
Stephanie told her followers: ‘First things first, we have to claim our sunbeds at the pool area. We have come as a big family so we have to be there early.’
However, instead of spending the first hours of daylight soaking up the Spanish rays, she took her brood out for breakfast and a shopping trip – while their towels remained on the empty sunbeds.
The family travelled into the town where they tucked into a traditional English breakfast at a cafe they had visited ‘every single day’ of the trip so far.
She said the baked beans, sausages, black pudding, bacon, hash browns, tomato, toast and eggs were ‘amazing’, while her children opted to tuck into a frittata and pancakes.
After tucking into their cooked breakfasts, the family set off on a shopping trip in the area, searching for holiday souvenirs in tourist shops.
But it wasn’t until they’d finished purchasing clothes that they returned to their hotel, where they then enjoyed the pool and the loungers, after seemingly spending a couple of hours sightseeing.
