One passenger was flying high after a special in-flight announcement from the pilot.

Captain Ellis has been a Qantas Airways pilot for 30 years. While he was flying Qantas Flight 93 from Melbourne, Australia to Los Angeles, he made a special announcement to his partner. Once they had reached a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet, Ellis spoke over the intercom from the cockpit to his now-fiancé.

"She's traveling back to South America to visit her family, and I want to make sure she comes back to me in Australia," Ellis said

Qantas posted a video of the special moment on their Facebook page.
