According to a Daily Mail report, a baby girl born on a flight from Dubai to Manila has received a million air miles as a present!
The baby girl, named Haven, was born halfway on a flight to Manila operated by Philippine carrier Cebu Pacific. She is the first baby to be delivered on one of their planes.
Baby Haven’s mother went into labor on Sunday, five weeks before her due date. Thankfully, two of the flight attendants were trained as nurses.
The flight was diverted to Hyderabad to ensure that the mother and child received proper medical attention for premature birth.
To baby Haven. You are God’s miracle at 36,000ft and we’re blessed to have been an instrument in your safe delivery. You will always be my most memorable passenger.” Said lead flight attendant Mark Martin.
Cebu Pacific’s CEO, Lance Gokongwei announced that to celebrate the birth of Haven, the airline will award the baby girl with one million GetGo points – the airlines’ frequent flyer program.
“It only happens in movies, and we’re lucky to witness this miracle,” said a passenger on the flight in a Facebook post. She said she did not mind the delay.
A customer would have to spend 5 million Philippine pesos (approximately 73L rupees) to amass the amount of miles baby Haven has.
