I was reading stories about people Paying it Forward from paying the car ahead of you for their toll to buying a drink at Starbucks for the person ahead of you.

I have "Paid It Forward" by guesting a stranded passenger into the airline lounge. It did not cost me extra but the gesture went a long way.

On one flight I bought a drink and snackbox for a passenger seated next to me who was in tears because she lost her wallet. I told her at least you can enjoy an alcoholic beverage and something to eat to take your mind off your stress. She thanked me.

People have returned the favor. Once I was at the airport and this nice man paid for my lunch at one of the best restaurants. He said have anything you would like including drinks. Turns out he was an executive of a company and we were talking during a long delay . He wanted to do something nice. I was so appreciative and asked him if I could at least buy him something. He refused and we parted ways.

On another occasion I was in the Security Line and forgot all about my coffee since it was early in the morning. So I threw out my coffee. As soon as I came through security a Starbucks Barista who saw what happened said she would remake my drink since she knew how tired I was etc. So I followed her to the store and true to her word she not only made me another drink she upgraded it to a Venti Latte. She got a big tip. This was unprovoked.

I paid it forward when I saw an elderly male having trouble getting his suitcase down the escalator in the SFO International Terminal to his gate. I offered to take it down and he appreciated it. He asked could he at least give me $5 and I said "No I would do the same thing to my Grandfather without asking".

I want to know how did you"Pay It Forward" and also how did other travelers "Pay It Forward" For you.

I think its nice to help others in need.
