Sam Chui Introduces an Unforgettable Sky Wedding Experience
Imagine the quintessential aviation-themed wedding, and Sam Chui has just made it a reality, taking a tale right out of a travel enthusiast’s fantasy.
Sam Chui’s Boeing 747-400 Wedding Bash
When we talk about aviation aficionados, Sam Chui invariably tops the list. He’s not just any aviation vlogger; he’s a guy who’s practically in a long-term relationship with the skies. So naturally, his wedding wasn’t going to be a simple affair.
Sam recently tied the knot with Fiona, who’s possibly as plane-crazy as he is. To celebrate, they did what any aviation-loving couple would dream of: they booked a whole Boeing 747-400! And not just for a party on solid ground. After some ground-side festivities on July 12, 2025, they took off for a 95-minute airborne celebration.
The aircraft was stationed at Fujairah on the UAE’s east coast. After ground celebrations, this sky-high party lifted off at 6:30 PM, soaring over the Gulf of Oman, before boomeranging back and landing in Fujairah at 8:04 PM. Can you imagine a better way to start a life together than among the clouds? It’s like saying, “I do” to both the vows and the sky!
Instagram was naturally the broadcast channel for this high-altitude shindig. Sam shared glimpses of what’s now being lovingly termed a “Sky Wedding,” tagging it as the memorable highlight of their lives. Hats off to Sam and Fiona!
Honestly, when you factor in the typical costs of a wedding with a grand venue and all, renting a 747 might not even be as extravagant as it sounds. It’s just leveling up the adventure, literally!
Boeing 747: A Flying Platform of Love
So, the aviation nerds among you might ask: which 747 hosted this unique party? The honor went to a 24-year-old 747, known by its code as ER-BOS. This bird boasts a storied past, having flown under the banners of Singapore Airlines, Transaero, and Garuda Indonesia.
Lately, it’s been part of Terra Avia’s fleet, a Moldovan charter airline hopping mainly between Nigeria and the pilgrimage city of Jeddah, supporting Hajj flights. Between missions, it finds its roost in Fujairah. The configuration of this flyer is rather snug, with seats for 476 passengers—26 living it up in business class and 450 back in economy.
Sam’s been here before, sharing tales on his channel about the workings of this older generation of 747s, showcasing an element of uniqueness quite rare with today’s fleet. It’s like encountering a classic car, but with wings.
The Grand Finale
Fueling the dreams of aviation geeks worldwide, Sam Chui and Fiona ascended the wedding experience ladder in style, navigating their ceremony by way of a 747 soaring over the Gulf of Oman. It’s hard to argue there could be a more fitting celebration for a couple of sky fanatics. Cheers to the lovebirds!
