Some flights take you home. Others take you to the moments that matter most.

LONDON - LOS ANGELES

Hi, I’m Claire. I’m flying to Los Angeles to surprise my best friend on her wedding day. She thinks I can’t make it but little does she know, I’ll be walking into her bridal room in just a few hours! Hopefully we’re not delayed. I can’t wait to see the look on her face.

We’ve known each other since we were 3, and we’ve been through everything together. There’s no way I’d miss this moment. This flight isn’t just a journey it’s a memory in the making, and the best surprise for my best friend.

Your project is such a beautiful way to capture these moments. I never thought about it like this before, but now I see that every seat on this plane holds a story. I’m glad I could share mine!

Some flights take you home. Others take you to the moments that matter most.

Hi Claire,

Oh my gosh, I wish I could see your best friend’s face! That’s such a priceless surprise.
This is what real friendship looks like. I haven’t seen my best friend face-to-face in years (we send each other one Snapchat a day!), but when we finally meet, it’s like no time has passed.

I hope you have the best time at the wedding and I’m wishing your friend all the love and happiness in this new chapter of her life.
