SAS hopes to organize the world's first same-sex weddings in the air December 6, 2010, onboard SK903 from Stockholm to New York. We will turn one of our lounges into a wedding lounge before departure and onboard we will transform our Business class cabin to an exclusive wedding cabin. During the flight, the couple will be in the air, which will be followed, just as tradition, with a wedding reception, including a full wedding menu, wedding cake and celebrations all the way to New York.
In New York, the couple will be transferred by limousine to the one of Manhattan's most luxurious and LGBT-friendly hotels, the W Hotel. On the same evening, we will host a second wedding reception to continue celebrate all the love, which is co-hosted by VisitSweden and the Stockholm Gay/Lesbian Network.
After three nights in New York, we fly you off to Los Angeles and West Hollywood. West Hollywood has long been a leader in protecting and advocating for equal rights for the LGBT community. The lucky honeymoon couple will enjoy three nights at the fabulous Andaz West Hollywood as well as some of the best dining, nightlife and pampering West Hollywood has to offer.
The return flight with SAS is of course in Business class, where we will pamper you one last time until you reach your home destination.
