Laura Byrne had to endure a 25-hour economy flight from Thailand to Sydney after The Bachelor finale

She met and fell in love with Matty J on The Bachelor back in 2017. 

And now Laura Byrne has opened up about her time on the show. 

Speaking on her Life Uncut podcast earlier this week, the jewellery designer recalled the moment she had to fly back to Sydney from Thailand after recording the finale, where she was forced to take a 25-hour economy flight, while Matty flew business class straight back home. 

It came after Laura heard Elly Miles revealed that she and Frazer Neate had to drive in separate cars after their finale to get to the Kangaroo Valley after filming, to keep things on the down low.  

‘Matt and I’s finale was in Thailand, we had one night together and then got separated straight away,’ Laura said. 

‘And then he got a first class or business class flight straight back to Sydney and went to Kangaroo Valley. I had to fly economy and I flew three separate flights to try to throw off the paparazzi.’

She added that she even flew to Doha, Qatar, on her way home. 

‘They made me fly to f**king Doha and somewhere else,’ Laura said. 

‘I had a 25-hour flight back from Thailand and then I had like a seven-hour car ride to the Kangaroo Valley because we landed in Canberra. It was out of control. He had been there for two nights and and I was like, “you, I hate you!”

Laura and Matty met on The Bachelor back in 2017. 

They pair found true love on the show and are now expecting their second child. 

They are proud parents to daughter Marlie-Mae, one.
