My wife and I honeymooned in SF and flew, I think, CO up from LAX (this was many, many years ago). We mentioned the fact of our honeymoon to an FA and she invited us up to the cockpit. There, the pilots treated us like royalty. We were invited to sit in both the pilot and first officer seats, they gave us their hats to wear and took our pictures at the controls of the 737. I love this picture.

I showed it to my mother some time later and told her that, because it was our honeymoon, they actually let us fly the plane. My mother said she didn't believe it. I said, "Well, we didn't actually fly it, the whole thing is run by computer, but they did let us sit in the seats and press the buttons which controlled the plane. Of course, when we landed they took over." My mother said, "Really? I don't think that's a good idea at all."

To her dying day, she thought we flew our honeymoon flight to SFO.
