Here’s your feel-good aviation story for the day.

Violet Allison was just getting settled into her economy seat on an overnight Virgin Atlantic flight from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to London when another passenger walked up to her row and asked her a question she never, ever thought she’d hear.

“Excuse me, would you like to fly first class?” said Jack Littlejohn, to which Allison replied in disbelief, “You’re joking.”

The unexpected journey for Allison was chronicled in a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! by a flight attendant named Leah Amy. “Of the hundreds of flights I’ve operated, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after footballers, supermodels and some Hollywood movie stars but let me tell you about my two favourite passengers EVER!” she wrote.

its good to see nice people are still around...i forget sometimes

on that note im flying again tomorow...only a 45 minute flight tho...so i wouldnt care if they stuffed me in the overhead.. but they wont... flying british airways

learned the hard way to never fly easy jet in winter...they do fun things like cancel your flight home for the holidays and then tell you the next flight they can put you on is in january (yeah..cheers fuckers im glad you understand the concept of time off) ended up having to book a one way very last minute with transavia...wasnt cheap

First class or business? Getting mixed signals here.

I can’t say I’d do the same if I’d paid the extortionate fees to get to a better class. If I really didn’t care, why pay so much?

If he got it with work or something though, that’s a very nice gesture.

He did not pay for the seat, and he had just come from a charity fund raiser of some sort.
