The Only Pilot-Designed Proposal Experience

Explore Our Adelaide Proposal Packages
Choose from three unforgettable ways to propose above Adelaide and beyond. Each experience can be personalised around your relationship, preferred timing and vision for the occasion.
Start Your Forever As Adelaide Wakes Below
Arrive at a private Adelaide airport before dawn and take off beneath the early morning sky. As you ascend above the city, watch the first light spread across the Adelaide Hills, skyline and coastline.
Depending on the approved route, your journey may offer views towards the city centre, Adelaide Hills, Gulf St Vincent and the metropolitan beaches. Scenic flights around Adelaide commonly combine city, coastal, hills and wine-region landscapes.
Choose to propose before take-off, during your flight or after you return. While you are in the sky, our ground crew will prepare a reception to welcome you back and help you celebrate the beginning of your next chapter.

A Proposal Designed Around Your Story
Personalised From The Ground To The Sky
Your proposal planning may include:
Choosing the right package for your partner
Deciding when and where to ask the question
Creating a believable plan to protect the surprise
Coordinating the flight and ground arrangements
Planning the timing around sunrise or sunset
Organising photography and videography
Preparing your arrival reception
Incorporating meaningful details from your relationship
Our team handles the behind-the-scenes logistics while you focus on the reason you are there.
No two relationships are the same, so no two Proposals By Plane experiences should feel the same.
Your consultation begins with getting to know you as a couple. We will discuss your story, the atmosphere you want to create and how your partner might imagine their perfect proposal.
You can keep the experience refined and intimate or add thoughtful details that make the moment unmistakably yours.
Capture Every Part Of The Experience
Some moments pass in seconds but deserve to be remembered for a lifetime.
Add professional aerial and ground photography and videography to document the anticipation, the flight, the proposal and the celebration that follows.
Our specialist aviation videographer and photographer, Elliot Staddon, has flown alongside Alexander and understands how to capture the experience safely and discreetly. Elliot and Alexander work together to keep the filming natural, helping protect the surprise until you are ready to ask the question.
Why Choose Proposals By Plane?
Pilot-Designed From The Beginning
Your experience is created with the guidance of Alexander, a commercial pilot and UNSW graduate. Aviation is not added to the package as an afterthought. It is considered throughout the consultation, planning and coordination process.
Flight And Ground Coordination
The journey does not end when the aircraft lands. Our flight and ground arrangements are coordinated as part of one complete experience, including the reception waiting when you return.
Created Around Your Relationship
We don't place every couple into the same proposal script. Your experience is shaped around your ideas, your partner and the kind of moment you want to share.
Commercially Operated Flights
Flights are provided by fully licensed, CASA-approved AOC holders. Flight routes, manoeuvres and operating decisions remain subject to the approval of the pilot and operator.
