First-class passenger gives his seat to 88-year-old stranger after they strike up instant friendship: 'You should've seen her face'
A Virgin Atlantic flight attendant shared an adorable story about her new 'favorite' passengers.
The passengers were a gentle and kindhearted man and an elderly woman he swapped seats with, so she could enjoy the spoils of first class.
Last week, Virgin Atlantic stewardess Leah Amy took to Facebook to share a heartwarming story that went viral and ended up being shared over 1,300 times.
Through her work as an air hostess, Leah has already met many famous people including athletes, supermodels, and actors, but she said that these two passengers whom she identified as Jack and Violet were her new 'favorite passengers'.
As reported by New Zealand Herald, the two travelers randomly struck up an "instant friendship" when Jack came to the conclusion that Violet would "get more" out of his first-class seat than he would.
Lead added that it had been 88-year-old Violet's "dream" to sit in the front of the plane and Jack was determined to make it come true "out of the kindness of his own heart." Once the two had boarded the plane, Jack selflessly gave his first-class cabin to Violet and took her economy seat which was located right next to the toilet.
"[Jack] sat on the row of seats directly next to the economy toilets and never made a peep or asked for anything the rest of the flight. No-fuss, no attention, literally did it out of the kindness of his own heart, no one asked him to," Leah shared.
The air hostess also explained that Violet often travels to New York to visit her daughter and her recent trip had come after a long time as she had a knee replacement.
"You should [have] seen her face when I tucked her in her bed after supper," Leah revealed.
Many social media users were beyond impressed and touched by Jack's gesture.
Leah shared that she planned to forward the pictures in the mail and share them on social media.
