An engaged couple on holiday with the fiance's parents and a family of four are among the victims of the doomed AirAsia flight that crashed into the sea.
Contact was lost with air traffic control during a storm on Sunday as Flight QZ8501 headed to Singapore from the Indonesian city of Surabaya with 162 people on board.
Nearly all those on the plane were Indonesian, but they also included three from South Korea, and one each from the UK, Malaysia, France and Singapore.
Their stories are beginning to emerge.
:: Ruth Natalia Puspitasari, her fiance, Bob Hartanto Wijaya, and his parents, Marilyn and William Wijaya
Ms Puspitasari, who would have turned 26 on Monday, was on the flight with her fiance and future parents-in-law for a New Year's holiday.
She called her father, Suyanto, just before she boarded, and she told him excitedly that they planned to celebrate her birthday in Singapore.
Suyanto told reporters that his daughter had showed particular concern for the families of the MH370 tragedy.
Ms Puspitasari once told him how sad it must be for the victims' relatives who were left waiting for their loved ones with no certainty.
She and her fiance reportedly met at Petra Christian University in Surabaya, Indonesia - the same town their ill-fated flight had taken off from.
But after graduating, economics student Ms Puspitasari - from East Java - had moved to Guangzhou, China.
Her fiance, who had studied architecture, stayed behind after becoming co-owner of Eka Toys in his hometown of Malang.
:: Chi Man Choi and daughter Zoe
The British businessman and his two-year-old daughter were among the passengers.
His Singaporean wife and their other child had travelled back to Singapore on an earlier flight, according to Channel News Asia.
They were all believed to be flying to Singapore for New Year's Eve celebrations with his family.
:: Hermanto Tanus, his partner Indahju Liangsih and their sons Nico Giovanni, 17, and nine-year-old Justin Giovanni
In Singapore, student Chiara Natasya Tanus, 15, had been waiting eagerly for a visit from her parents and brothers.
She had not seen her family, who are from Surabaya, since she left for Singapore to pursue her secondary education two months ago.
She told Malaysia's The Star: "My mum called me on the 23rd and told me she would visit me very soon, but then this happened.
"I was so excited. I was looking forward to showing my dormitory to my family and we were planning for a holiday in Singapore."
:: Nanang Priyo Widodo
Mr Widodo, 43, had only been back in Indonesia for one day after a business trip to Malaysia before he left for another one in Singapore.
He had ridden his motorcycle to get to the airport as quickly as possible.
His wife, Warih Aditya, 33, told the Jakarta Post: "He arrived home two days ago from accompanying tourists to Malaysia. He was at home for one day, then had to go with other clients to Singapore."
:: Florentina Maria Widodo
The 26-year-old school teacher from Hwa Chong Institution in Singapore taught biology was affectionately known to family and friends as Tina.
Ms Widodo and her boyfriend Andy Paul Chen were both from the National University of Singapore, and were members in the university's guitar ensemble.
Ms Widodo reportedly graduated from the National Institute of Education last year.
She sat in the seat next to Mr Widodo, but it is not known whether they were related.
:: Siau Alain Octavianus
His fiancee Louise Sidharta had been at Singapore's Chani Airport waiting for her future husband to return from a family holiday.
She said: "It was supposed to be their last vacation before we got married."
The couple were reportedly planning to wed next May.
:: Natalina Wuntarjo
The passenger had planned to spend a short time with a friend in Singapore and then go on to Malaysia before returning home to Indonesia on December 31, said her mother Djun Ik.
She said her daughter was a good person who worked diligently at a restaurant in Surabaya.
