Dream date in the sky
Are you looking for a romantic and over-the-top evening to celebrate Valentine’s Day? How about a sunset flight along the Orange Coast, followed by a delicious prime steak or seafood and legendary hot chocolate cake from Morton’s The Steakhouse in Anaheim along with a dozen roses and a limo?
To help Cupid out, Morton’s and Sunset Flying have paired up to create “The Ultimate Dream Date.” You can choose from two different plane rides: the coastal sunset tour or an evening flight over Disneyland to view the spectacular fireworks show from the air (fireworks only on weekends).
Flights take off every night except Thursday. The evening — which doesn’t have to be celebrated exactly on Feb. 14 — starts with a private limousine ride for two. Depending on which flight you take, dinner at Morton’s will come before (if you choose the fireworks flights) or after (if you pick the sunset flight).
The evening costs $999. For reservations, call Sunset Flying, 866-SKY-FOR -2. www.sunsetflying.com.
