Viral News: After a man’s LinkedIn post about how he helped an elderly couple who had never travelled via airplane before went viral, the entire internet has been praising him strongly.
An elderly couple was in the boarding area when LinkedIn user ‘Amitabh Shah’ saw them while travelling from Kanpur to Delhi. They took an eight-hour bus ride from a far-flung UP village to the Delhi airport, looking exhausted the entire time.
As soon as he approached them, Shah assisted them in boarding the aircraft. “I saw them in the boarding area completely clue less and could tell it’s there first time & they didn’t understand English. I walked upto them with a smile and asked them to simply follow me,” wrote Amitabh Shah in a LinkedIn post.
Shah added, “Inside the flight, they were seated just in front of me. The aunty asked me – ‘Can you pls take our picture and send it to our daughter who has a phone with WhatsApp – so she knows we are safe?’ I took this pic & sent it.”
Have a look at what Amitabh Shah wrote on his LinkedIn post:
“I was on my way to Kanpur yesterday from Delhi Airport. This awesome but tired couple in the picture had a long journey – came from a remote village in UP, rode a bus for 8 hours to get to the Delhi Airport and then boarded a flight to Kanpur with me. I saw them in the boarding area completely clue less and could tell it’s there first time & they didn’t understand English. I walked upto them with a smile and asked them to simply follow me. They thought I worked for the airline 😋. “
“Inside the flight they were seated just in front of me. The aunty asked me – ‘Can you pls take our picture and send it to our daughter who has a phone w Whatsap – so she knows we are safe?’ I took this pic & sent.”
“When the Airhostess came to serve food, they declined but clearly seemed hungry and thirsty for hours. I told the airhostess to give them paneer sandwiches and juices & to tell them it was complimentary as they were lucky customers to win a free meal. Ofcourse, I paid for it when, they were not seeing 😋. They simply ‘smiled’ at me as we landed and went our own ways.”
“This Magical Thursday, we should always be kind at every opportunity we get, & trust me opportunities to be kind are all around YOU, aren’t they? ❤️”
Ordered and paid for Elderly couple’s meals
Shah continued by stating that without telling the couple, he had paid for their meals, he had bought them each a sandwich and a drink because they appeared to be hungry and thirsty. “When the air hostess came to serve food, they declined but clearly seemed hungry and thirsty for hours. I told the air hostess to give them paneer sandwiches and juices & to tell them it was complimentary as they were lucky customers to win a free meal. Of course, I paid for it when they were not seeing,” he further mentioned in the post.
