Jetstar passenger takes over PA system on Bali flight for surprise

A man has surprised his partner and passengers on board by taking over the PA system on their flight to Bali.

An Australian man has surprised his partner by taking over the PA system on their flight from Adelaide to Bali to ask her an important question.

Video footage captured the moment a Jetstar flight attendant requested Matt Ellis come up the front of the plane on Sunday.

“I’m crying already,” the flight attendant said, getting emotional at what was about to happen.

Matt then introduced himself to the passengers on board and asked his partner, Sam Dwight, to stand up.

Passengers in the front row could be seen tuning in, confused as to what was going on.

“I met Sam when I was at a pretty dark space in my life and she has been an absolute light in the worst time,” Matt said.

“She has stuck by me through thick and thin, and she obviously makes me a better person in general.

“And I reckon once you find that you’ve got to hold onto it.”

A shocked Sam stood in the aisle with her hand covering her mouth.

Matt continued: “So if you’ll have me …”

He bent down on one knee with a ring and asked her to marry him, receiving a round of applause from fellow passengers.

The couple appeared on Sunrise on Friday morning, where Matt explained Sam had caught on to his original proposal idea so he needed to think of something else, which is how the plan to pop the question during the flight came about.

“When I got up there and looked down [the aisle] there was a few heads facing me and I was pretty nervous,” he said.

Luckily, Sam said there was no chance she would have knocked him back, but the couple joked it would have been an awkward flight if she did.

Last year, a Jetstar flight attendant spoke to news.com.au about the moment she got “the biggest shock of [her] life” after landing in Sydney Airport to a proposal.

Mel Robson’s partner David Young was standing at the gate asking her to be his wife and the “evil stepmother” to his two adult children.

Ms Robson, 46, and Mr Young, 58, met on a dating app during 2021 Covid lockdowns in Sydney.

“We just talked for months because we couldn’t even meet up,” the Jetstar hostie of 16 years said.

“Our first date was my car service because it was the only opportunity I had to leave the house.”
