relaxedPax, welcome to FlyerTalk
Earlier this year I was on business in India and well.... got hit with a rather bad case of Delhi-belly a few days before having to leave to go home. I was relaxing in the airport lounge when a fellow flyer noticed that I was looking a little ill and asked if I needed anything. I thought to myself at the time that it was a great gesture of assistance from total stranger, as having someone sitting and talking to you really takes your mind off the illness and makes the time fly by.
I later board the plane and attempt to get comfortable in my economy seat when this gentleman and an FA come down the aisle to tell me that he is swapping his Business seat for my Economy seat and that he is not taking no for an answer. Sure, this may have only been a short leg from Mumbai to Singapore, but I am sure that this random act of kindness touched many hearts on that plane... Including the FA's who let me continue the journey from Singapore to Brisbane in Business and constantly checked with me to make sure I was feeling fine.
It was amazing to be faced with a random act of kindness, as it really reassures you that in this world of hatred and hurt to fellow man, there are some genuinely nice people still out there. I did not get the gentleman’s name; so if you are reading this, please know that I am eternally grateful and you have touched me to “Pass it on”.
