Propose Above The Clouds
Luxury Marriage Proposal Experiences
Turn one unforgettable question into an entire journey with a private, pilot-designed proposal experience created around your story.
Choose an intimate sunrise flight, a cinematic sunset journey or a destination proposal that takes you somewhere extraordinary. From your first consultation to your arrival reception, Proposals By Plane coordinates the flight, timing, surprise and ground arrangements so you can focus on the moment that matters.
The Only Pilot-Designed Proposal Experience
A proposal this important deserves more than a standard package.
Proposals By Plane creates luxury marriage proposal experiences with the guidance of a commercial pilot. Alexander takes the time to understand your relationship, your ideas and the kind of experience your partner would truly appreciate.
Each package provides a carefully planned starting point, but the final experience is shaped around you. Together, we will consider the timing, proposal location, surprise, photography and details that make the journey feel personal.
You do not need to arrive with everything planned. Tell us what you are imagining and let us help bring it to life.
Choose Your Proposal Experience
Every couple has a different idea of the perfect proposal.
Some want to share a quiet moment as the world wakes below. Others picture golden-hour skies, an island escape or an entire day built around the occasion.
Explore our pilot-designed proposal experiences and discover the journey that feels right for you both.
Sunrise Proposal Experiences
Start Your Forever With The First Light Of A New Day
Take off before dawn and watch the landscape slowly appear beneath the early morning sky.
A sunrise proposal offers a peaceful and intimate setting away from the movement of the day. The quieter atmosphere, changing light and symbolism of a new beginning create a meaningful backdrop for the start of your next chapter.
Choose to propose before boarding, during the flight or after returning to the airport. While you are in the sky, our ground crew will prepare a reception to welcome you back and continue the celebration.
Your Sunrise Proposal May Include:
Arrival at a private airport before dawn
A private early morning flight
Sunrise views across the local city, coastline or landscape
The option to propose before, during or after the flight
A reception prepared by our ground crew
Personalised planning and proposal coordination
Optional aerial and ground photography and videography
Sunrise routes and views differ by location and remain subject to weather, airspace and operational approval.

Aerial and Ground Videographer + Photographer $1500
Capture every part of your proposal, from arriving at the airport and taking flight to the moment you ask the question.
Our specialist aviation videographer and photographer, Elliot Staddon, will join you on board to document the experience safely and discreetly. Having flown alongside Alexander, Elliot understands how to work within the aircraft while capturing natural footage without revealing the surprise.
Elliot and Alexander coordinate throughout the flight, with a touch of acting used where needed to make the experience feel natural and completely unexpected.

An edited highlight film
Professionally edited photographs
Aerial footage captured during the flight
Ground footage from your arrival and proposal
A cinematic film combining the complete experience
Custom Figure-Eight Infinity Flight Path $2000
Create a lasting symbol of your proposal with a personalised figure-eight flight path designed to represent infinity.
When viewed through compatible flight-tracking applications, the route creates a digital record of your journey and a meaningful keepsake from the day. The recorded flight path can also be incorporated into your proposal film.
This upgrade is available with selected proposal experiences and locations. All requested routes and manoeuvres remain subject to weather, airspace, aircraft suitability, safety requirements and approval from the pilot and aviation operator. The final appearance of the route may differ between flight-tracking applications.
Sunset Proposal Experiences
Ask The Question Against A Cinematic Evening Sky
Watch the afternoon light change as you rise above the city, coastline or surrounding landscape.
A sunset proposal brings together golden-hour views, dramatic skies and the anticipation of one of life’s biggest moments. Each flight is planned around the local geography, giving every city its own distinctive backdrop.
Perth’s west-facing coastline offers views towards the setting sun, while our other locations showcase harbours, bays, rivers, skylines and coastal landscapes beneath the colours of the evening sky.
Choose to propose before take-off, during your flight or when you return. A reception prepared by our ground crew will be waiting after landing.
Your Sunset Proposal May Include:
Arrival at a private airport before sunset
A private golden-hour flight
Evening views across the local city and landscape

A planned family celebration after landing

Deciding when and where to ask the question
Creating a believable plan to protect the surprise

Your consultation begins with getting to know you as a couple. We will discuss your story, your partner’s personality and the atmosphere you want to create. You might prefer something calm and private, or a grand journey filled with cinematic details.
Our role is to understand what feels right for you and coordinate the experience around that vision.
