DALLAS - A woman on a Dallas-bound flight captured what may have been the start of a modern-day romance and went viral in the process.
Rosey Blair was on an Alaskan Airlines flight from New York City back to Dallas on Tuesday when she asked a woman to switch seats with her so she could be next to her boyfriend on the flight. Before she moved seats, Blair said she told the woman that her new seat partner could be the love of her life.
Her joke may have been oddly prophetic.
Over the course of the flight, Blair tweeted away as sparks began to fly in the cabin of the aircraft.
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.

His seat partner has asked not to be identified.
For now, the couple’s potential romance remains how it started: up in the air.
