I think you missed the point for many of the the responses above. Proposals at fine dining restaurants don't come via the PA system. Nobody cares about a nice, quiet proposal in F or J. That is actually kind of nice and the lead FA could be in on it by providing champagne when she says yes. The problem would be in involving everyone else with the PA.

+1 on private. It's not cheap but really a proposal should be a private matter and if the GF loves planes, then spring for it and make it special (you don't need to do transcon on it - see if you can go for a short loop at a modest price - make up a story that a friend of a friend had a plane...)

But on a serious note good luck with w.e that dudes friend decides. But I am sure he can find a better place to propose. Or save on the divorce by not getting married. ha (jk)

Just propose. On a plane if necessary. Please leave everyone else out of it.
Sorry to sound harsh, but I have NO interest in being forcibly made to listen such things....
Yes, it's HUGE for them, and congratulations, best wishes etc... but I'm sorry. I DON'T care, and would thank other people not to (selfishly?) want to disturb a planeload of strangers with their private business.
Apparently there is an average of 6,200 weddings a DAY in the USA.....
Good evidence indeed that while it is special to the individuals concerned, it is far from a unique event.

i have to agree the destination has to have a better place to do it, cant think of a worse place esp if your flying economy, at least on a beach or something you could go alone and write will you marry me in the sand or or something then go for a walk and discover it
