LOVE IS IN THE AIR (Asia)! 💍✈️

It was a proposal like no other for Filipino couple Mark Anthony Adviento and Myra Donne Chua, who got engaged mid-flight on AirAsia Z2 350 bound for Tagbilaran, Bohol — surrounded by family, friends, and guests. ❤️

Mark secretly coordinated with AirAsia weeks in advance to pull off the surprise.
“I chose to propose on an AirAsia flight because all our loved ones were with us. It was the perfect setting for such a memorable moment… and with the hashtag , it just felt right,” he shared.

Mark calls their love story an “answered prayer.” The two first met in August 2022, but it wasn’t until May 2024 that things started to blossom. Myra said “no” three times before finally saying “yes” to being Mark’s girlfriend in December 2024 — and now, she’s his fiancée. 💖
