Stars of ABC’s The Bachelor Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney will return to New Zealand--this time without the camera crews and competing women.
Air New Zealand has invited the couple on the world's first "Matchmaking Flight." The promotional gimmick will take place October 13th journey, when passengers can board an Air New Zealand flight from Los Angeles to Auckland and chat with lovebirds Jason and Molly, while mingling with other singles.
Those who book online by July 15, can make this flight starting at $580 roundtrip. To book online and access the discount, travelers are invited to upload an online dating profile at www.thematchmakingflight.com, and then enter the LOVE200 promotion code when booking the Matchmaking Flight.
Passengers on this special flight will attend a send-off party at the departure gate in Los Angeles. The flight will be filled with matchmaking advice from the celebrity couple, an open bar, and speed dating.
Once on the ground in Auckland, travelers may choose to attend a matchmaking ball at SKYCITY Convention Center, which will also be attended by single New Zealanders.
“Molly and I fell in love with New Zealand during The Bachelor," Jason says. "It’s truly the most romantic place on Earth. We can’t wait to return to the stunning scenery and Kiwi hospitality and we hope that all the Matchmaking Flight singles have as much success as we did in finding one another.”
Those who watched the last season of The Bachelor know that Mesnick actually proposed to Melissa Rycroft, letting Molly Malaney go. (That actually makes New Zealand the place where Jason chose another woman...but, whatever.)
On the "After the Rose" special, Jason broke things off with Melissa and asked Molly for a second chance at dating. The two have been spotted since at Turks & Caicos, The Bonnie Hunt show and Good Morning America, still going strong and very much in love.
Did Air New Zealand spring for a ticket for Jason's son Tye? Inquiring minds want to know.
