What should I get a flying nut as a wedding present?

[wanderer_au]

Not long before Christmas I'm heading to MEL for a wedding of two dear friends. She is, in particular, a plane nut. She loves planes, and flying on them.

I thought about buying her some AAadvantage points but I learnt she's not a member. (She loves plane stuff a little more than the ins and outs of the soft product, but she's in to that too.)

I thought about getting her an old-school travel bag (BOAC, PanAm, etc) but I understand she already has a few.

So....thoughts, and suggestions, would be most welcome!

(Also, what do I get for someone who is marrying a plane nut?)

Many thanks.

I'm pretty sure Clive Palmer will have one going cheap soon

On a more serious note, what about a joy flight on something special?

Large model plane? Perhaps a classic version such as a QF 742 or something in retro colours? They look good anywhere.

KUL has a few 747-200F's going cheap at the moment.

Well, you left it a bit late as the wedding isn't far away and whatever you get, it needs to be a gift for both of them - not just her.

What about matching tshirts - got this one at the Boeing factory in Seattle



What about personalised luggage tags for the happy couple?

Edit: Or the tracker luggage tags that AFF sell?

is a bit late, but you can always look on ebay, you might find some old safely card maybe she will like it? otherwise someone said model plane like 1:200 size will be a nice display or you can even try the 1:100 size? or get them qantas voucher?

Somebody posted this site on Facebook where you can order items like cushions, blankets etc with custom designs such as boarding passes etc. You could always find out their flight details for their honeymoon and order some cushions. Certainly beats getting toasters as wedding presents.

wanderer,
How about this kind of joy flight: Mystery Breaks Gift Vouchers | Specials & Gift packages | Holidays | Virgin Australia

If it has to be plane related, I would probably look at getting a cabin trolley, or a set of the retired seats. However, since she's likely to buy anything plane related eventually, it might be a better idea to get something else entirely different.

Malaysia is looking for the owner of 3 x 747's sitting at their airport. I guess you can put your hand up for one of them but only if they gift wrap it.

Reconsidered the humour attempt.

That would be my pick too. As an aviation nut I've loved my flight simulator sessions.
