That’s just “plane” romantic!

An Irish traveler was so smitten by a woman he met on an international flight, he launched a Twitter campaign to find her — and it worked!

Jamie Kelly, 24, of Galway and the gal — whom he knew only as Katie — had a blast on a Ryanair flight from Dublin to Barcelona, he said.

“We started chatting and hit it off. I think we made a connection,” Kelly told CBC news.

But when the plane landed, airport security separated the lovebirds and he lost her, Kelly said.

With no last name or phone number, he and pals took to Twitter, using the hashtags #FindKatie and #LoveatFirstFlight.

“Is your name Katie? Are you from Nova Scotia? Are you traveling around Ireland? Did you recently meet a young lad called Jamie? #findkatie,” his pal Niam Hassell tweeted.

A few of Katie’s friends caught wind after the hashtag went viral — and helped her get in touch with him, she said.

“I never thought I would ever see him again so what a surprise,” said Katie Moreau, 27.

She liked him, too, she said.

“We had lots in common plus he was very easy on the eyes,” she said.

She added that she even searched for him at the airport, calling him “a handsome Irishman” with “lovely eyes.”

The lovebirds have been chatting online and plan to meet up soon, she said.
