A couple of months ago I witnessed what may have been a world record hookup in the air, introduction-to-couple on a 140 mile Austin – Houston United flight.

World record inflight hookup: 2B helps 2A her stow her bag in Austin. She tells him about her kids and shows him her Priority Pass and Amex Platinum. They held hands for descent into Houston. A new couple is @United. #love #upintheair

I didn’t live tweet the hookup or take photos of the happy couple. And 30 minutes in the air doesn’t allow for enough inflight internet time to develop a story arc.

These inflight couplings happen more often than you’d think. But one new coupling is very special because the entire budding relationship was live tweeted, and because the person doing the tweeting called it sort of like Babe Ruth pointing towards center field and calling his home run shot in the 1932 World Series.

As a result this twitter thread has nearly half a million likes. Comedian Rosey Blair was flying home to Dallas from New York. She wanted to sit by her boyfriend, and got someone to change seats, musing that the swap could lead to a love connection of its own. The new seat opponents turned out to both be personal trainers who follow each other on instagram.

Have a look:

Last night on a flight home, my boyfriend and I asked a woman to switch seats with me so we could sit together. We made a joke that maybe her new seat partner would be the love of her life and well, now I present you with this thread.

She ran out of her free hour of inflight internet from T-Mobile but had to continue writing this saga as it unfolded so she paid for internet. T-Mobile’s CEO is going to reimburse the cost.

.@roseybeeme that story was amazing!! If you’re a @TMobile customer, I'd love to credit you for the extra wifi, because that was definitely worth it!! #TmobileWingman
