She told him to move — but they ended up talking.

After the flight, Michael tracked her down online and romance blossomed.

Michael said: “For some reason, I just felt so comfortable about opening up to a complete stranger, which is something that was not a normal thing for me, but I just felt this electric connection already.”

They have now got married on the same beach in Israel where they had their first date and where Michael proposed.

Their wedding cake looked like an orange easyJet plane taking off with them on board while graduate Adaya wore a special aircraft brooch.

Adaya said: “We got married six years to the day after our first date and two days after the date of the flight.”

Michael, originally from Borehamwood, Herts, is living with Adaya in Tel Aviv while he studies a genetics PhD.
