You have all kinds of passengers on an airplane - ones you get annoyed with, ones you may get along with and reportedly some you may even fall in love with. A study claims that around 1 in 50 people find love on an airplane. That is great news for that one lucky person and just annoying for the other 49. 

A new study from the British bank HSBC says that around 1 in 50 people meet the love of their life on an airplane. The results come from interviews taken from 2,150 people from over 141 countries. The participants were questioned about the possibility and likelihood of meeting "the one" while they are in a metal contraption 30,000 feet above the ground. An estimated 6,000 people from Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, the United States and the United Kingdom were also asked about their flying habits and preferences.
