SAN FRANCISCO - Air New Zealand is delving into the gay and lesbian
market with a special themed flight that will feature drag queens,
pink cocktails and a cabaret performed by the flight crew.

The destination for the airline's one-time "Pink Flight," scheduled to
depart San Francisco International Airport on Feb. 26, is the Gay and
Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney, Australia, one of the world's most well-
attended gay events, said Jodi Williams, an Air New Zealand marketing
director.

"We are looking at tailoring the inseat entertainment and having gay-
friendly movies and contests and different music and things like
that," Williams said. The airline also plans to throw a "Get-Onboard-
Girlfriend" going away party for its passengers, who will pay an
average of $1,000 roundtrip.

The flight will be modeled after an Auckland-to-Sydney trip Air New
Zealand made this year for the gay Mardi Gras, according to Williams.
Before that full flight, the crew put on pink feather boas and sang
for its couple hundreds passengers, she said.

"Even the pilot was wearing fairy wings and got into it," Williams
said.

Michael Wilke, executive director of a New York-based advertising
advocacy group called the Commercial Closet Association, said that
while American, Air Canada and other airline companies have become
visible sponsors of gay pride events, none had so far used campy
programming to appeal to gay and lesbian travelers.

"They could probably do very well with it," Wilke said. "It really
sounds like someone put together the idea of what a gay cruise is and
just applied that to the air. And even gay cruises don't feature
employees in particular outfits or gay-themed movies."

Air New Zealand's Williams said the airline still is working out some
details of the flight plan, such as what will go inside the goodie
bags passengers will get. Since it takes 14 hours to get from San
Francisco to Sydney, the airline also plans to schedule in some down
time during the overnight flight.

"We had to think about keeping people entertained while knowing they
will want their beauty sleep," she said.

I wonder how many Republicans will be on that flight. I'll bet the
Idahomo is licking his lips. Log Cabin Republicans are probably signing
up in droves.

Bush will be there, with his butt all puckered for Olmert's little

Hoping for "Logs" of their own.

When something is targeted at Homosexuals, does it always have to be
so f'n tacky?

Well, it is a Marti-gras crowd, I suppose it does.
