Jack and Violet

Leah Amy Facebook Post – 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 favorite passengers. EVER!

Jack and Violet (I wish she was called Vera or Rose)

Jack and his family purchased seats in our upper-class cabin for a flight home from New York, but when he got on board, Jack went and found violet in the economy and swapped seats with her.

He then 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 too.

Violet is 88years old, has been a nurse in both the UK and in America. She usually travels to New York to see her daughter but hasn’t been able to for a while because of a knee replacement. Her dream has always been to sit at the front, and Jack made that come true.

You should have seen her face when I tucked her in her bed after supper.
