A single woman has earned herself a spot in the viral hall of fame after announcing her desire to find herself a rich husband over an airplane loudspeaker.
Karolina Geits was onboard a flight from Miami to New York when she had the genius idea to put a call out to potential suitors – and decided to enlist the help of a flight attendant to help her carry out her somewhat brazen plan.
The 29-year-old admits she is not a fan of dating apps as she prefers to meet people in person, and decided that a mile-high aircraft was as good a spot as any to look for a potential love match.
So, after noticing the seat next to her was empty, Karolina took the opportunity to find her next beau.
