Source: An Ohio man says he experienced a special kind of Christmas cheer aboard a Christmas Eve flight: A father flying just so he could spend time with his daughter, who was working as a flight attendant.
In a Facebook post that has since been shared tens of thousands of times, Mike Levy said he sat next a to man, Hal, who had booked multiple flights so he could spend Christmas with his daughter, a flight attendant working over the holiday.
Later, Facebook user Pierce Vaughan shared the post, saying that the trip with her father had been a success. “A special thanks to all of the patient, wonderful gate agents around the country and my perfect crew,” she wrote. Levy told USA TODAY on Wednesday that Hal said he had booked six flights in total. Hal and Levy crossed paths on Christmas Eve on a flight from Fort Myers to Detroit.
Mike Levy shared this post on facebook, and it immediately went viral: “I had the pleasure of sitting next to Hal on my flight back home. His daughter Pierce was our flight attendant who had to work over Christmas ☹️. Hal decided he would spend the holiday with her. So, he is flying on each of her flights today and tomorrow around the country to spend time with his daughter for Christmas. . What a fantastic father! Wish you both a very Merry Christmas!”
Pops for the win!
I wonder how many points he had to use to get that many flights?
The holiday season is all about spending time with the ones you love, so we applaud this gentleman’s effort, and the unconditional love he has for his daughter.
Here are a few more moments of some daddy/daughter time that will hit you straight in the feels:
