A Virgin Atlantic flight attendant proudly shared the sweet story of her new “favorite” passengers: a kindhearted man and the elderly woman he selflessly swapped seats with, so she could enjoy his first-class digs.
Virgin flight attendant Leah Amy shared the heartwarming tale on Facebook last month. She said she had met many famous people through her work as a flight attendant, but these two travelers, named Jack and Violet, were her new “favorite passengers EVER!”
According to the New Zealand Herald, the two travelers spontaneously struck up an “instant friendship” at the airport they were traveling from when Jack decided that Violet would “get more” out of his prime seat to the Big Apple than he would.

Leah said it was reportedly the 88-year-old’s “dream” to sit at the front of the plane, and the thoughtful traveler was inspired to make it come true “out of the kindness of his own heart.”
After boarding, Jack traded his upper-class cabin for Violet’s economy seat, which was situated “directly next to the toilets.” And Jack reportedly kept the good deed quiet. Leah explained:
“[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.”

The flight attendant detailed that the 88-year-old woman often travels to New York to visit her daughter, and the recent trip was in first in a long while due to a knee replacement. Leah remembered:
“You should [have] seen her face when I tucked her in her bed after supper.”
Leah said she planned to forward the memorable pictures to the octogenarian in the mail and share them on social media in the meantime. Facebook users were quick to praise Jack as a “true gentleman” and “wonderful guy.”
