A beautiful human story: Southwest passenger comforts frightened 96-year-old woman

A man is being praised as a “flight angel” after comforting a 96-year-old woman who was nervous about flying by herself for the first time in 15 years.
The unidentified young man was seated next to the elderly woman, whom he didn’t know, on a Southwest Airlines flight from San Diego to Nashville last month.
“She asked for this man’s hand during takeoff and then hugged him again when experiencing turbulence,” Ashley captioned the photos.
This gentleman I should say, gladly took her hand, let her hold onto him, calmed her by talking to her and explaining everything that was happening, and simply was that stranger there for her. He knew just what to do the entire flight to help,” Ashley continued.
The passenger also shared that the man went above and beyond even after the flight.
“He held her bag, helped her get off the plane and into the wheelchair, and when she got confused wondering where her daughter went (she called her her sister), he stayed with her until she caught up with her daughter who got separated from her,” she wrote. "This man was her flight angel."
There's a place in heaven for that man, or maybe he is indeed an angel. Happy Friday!

Why wouldn't her daughter sit with her?

If you've ever flown Southwest surely you know they have open seating. First people on board snap up all of the good seats. Her daughter was probably boarding in a later group or something. As you can see in the pictures, the old lady is in the middle seat, the one nobody who gets on board first wants.

Not being a dick, but I think calling this "a beautiful human story" is exaggerating a bit.
Props for the dude for doing it, but I think more people than not would do the same thing. I'd imagine similar situations happen all the time on flights.

I sat down on a flight one time and as we started to do the take off roll the old lady next to me latched onto my forearm with all her strength. She held on until we leveled out and let go. Not a word was said. We hit a bit of turbulence. Same thing. On landing same thing. As we deplaned, she turned to me smiled and apologized. Said it was her first flight or something and walked away. Made my day.

So no mile high story?

I respect your perspective.
But it's certainly a beautiful story compared with the 99.99% of the other stories that have grabbed headlines lately.

Can't argue with that. I can understand wanting to do a report on something positive... A feel good story. I guess when I was reading it I just thought "he was just doing what most people would do. If he didn't that would have been more of a news story", but you are right, its something positive.

I hated having to down vote this story. You already have 1.5 feet in the grave already lady. No need to be scared.
