A love-struck flier who fell head-over-heels for a 'mystery man' on a plane is hoping to track him down.

Vera, was flying from London to Dublin, when she set eyes on a dreamboat in row 9D.

It was love at first flight for Vera, a blonde originally from Berlin, who said the pair made a lot of eye contact before plucking up the courage to speak to one another.

They spoke at passport control where Vera found out the man lives in London and was visiting friends in Dublin for two days.

But being too shy to ask for his number the couple parted ways at baggage claim.

Now her friends have launched a Facebook appeal to find the mystery bloke.

Her friend Megan said: 'Lovely people of Facebook, were you traveling from London Stansted to Dublin on Tuesday 3rd Jan on Ryanair FR2371 at 10:05 or know someone who was?

'If you or your friends were, then your help is needed! The very lovely Vera met a man on said flight, but being shy she did not ask for his number as they talked in baggage claim, so we are taking matters out of her hands and asking Facebook to help (and prove the 6 degrees of separation theory in the process).

'If you are the mystery man on flight FR2372 the nice blonde you were chatting to is Vera, send her a message

'Please please please do share in hopes that a friend of a friend of mystery man will see and forward this!'

Vera described the man who caught her attention as dark blond, about 5ft 11 and wearing a white shirt, grey jacket with a leather bag.

'She would love to meet him again and she is gorgeous,' Vera's friend Leonie told Donegal Woman.

'Vera had to collect her bag from baggage claim and he said his friends were waiting for him to pick him up. And that was it.

'He hesitated a bit when Vera said she had to pick up her bag first and he said, "Oh okay" and then she said have a nice stay.'

If you're the man who was chatting to the 'nice blonde' on the Ryanair flight FR2371 from London Stansted to Dublin at 10.05am on Tuesday January 3 then Vera wants to hear from you.

Head of communications at Ryanair, Robin Kiely, told MailOnline: 'It's nice to see our customers love each other as much as they love our (very attractive) low fares.'
