A Gurgaon-based content creator recently shared a heartwarming experience from a flight after discovering that his fellow passenger was travelling by air for the first time.
Aatmaj Kapoor had boarded FLY91’s Bengaluru-Sindhudurg flight when he happened to sit next to a passenger named Prajeet.
The man was heading to Goa with his friends for a short vacation and seemed fascinated by the views from the aircraft window.
“I saw that he was trying to look out of the window again and again and was also taking photos, so I offered to swap seats with him, and he couldn’t control his smile,” Aatmaj said in a video shared on Instagram.
His gesture left Prajeet overjoyed as he got a better view from the window during the flight.
Sharing the moment online, the creator said that watching Prajeet take in the views also made him reflect on the many flights he had been fortunate enough to experience.
“As I observed him observing the views, I felt grateful for all the flights I’ve had the chance to take! Hope you had a good flight, brother and enjoy Goa,” Aatmaj wrote in his post.
Many appreciated the creator’s thoughtfulness in making a stranger’s first flying experience a little more special.
A person wrote, “Your parents raised you well & taught you kindness, which is so nice. Khush raho.”
“This is so beautiful. I have always seen people making faces and raising eyebrows, judging like anything, at the people who are travelling for the first time. Great that you captured his happiness,” someone else remarked.
