Woman Steps In To Save The Day After Dad Can't Afford Daughter's Plane Ticket

Woman Steps In To Save The Day After Dad Can't Afford Daughter's Plane Ticket

As airport security gets more and more strict, the flying experience can be become less of a wonder and more of a stress-inducing misery.

Recently, a Facebook post went viral explempifying the pressures intrinsic to air travel, if not just travel in general.

Thanks to the generous donation of a random woman, one dad managed to take his daughter on a flight with him after assuming she was flying for free given that she'd only just turned two.

The gate agent regretted to inform the dad that upon arrival, his daughter would need her own ticket.

The post describes the crushing moment: "He mentioned he couldn't afford to rebook this flight or get her the ticket with such short notice. He stepped aside and tried to make a few calls. Hugging his daughter and grabbing his head, you could tell he was heartbroken.

"This woman next to him at the front counter heard the whole thing. She walked over to him and asked what was wrong. After they talked for a bit they walked up to the counter together. She pointed back at his daughter and said, "'I wanna buy her ticket.'"

"You know how much this ticket costs right?" the agent said.

"$700 something?" the woman replied.

It was $749. The woman responded, saying "That's fine" before pulling out her credit card and covering the damage.

"The agent kept talking about her goosebumps while the man hugged the woman and asked for her name to repay her. The woman just kept saying, 'Don't worry about it.' She knew she wanted to help that man and his daughter no matter what the cost."

The responses to the woman's deed have been incredibly positive.

What a hero.
