A woman gave birth mid-flight and now her baby might have a lifetime of free flights

A baby was born into a lifetime of free flights, Cebu Pacific Air confirmed to Business Insider.

Missy Berberabe Umandal, a passenger on a Cebu Pacific Air flight from Dubai to the Philippines, shared a now-viralFacebook status about a woman who gave birth mid-flight. The woman’s due date was in October, but she started having contractions five hours into the flight, forcing flight attendants to think fast.

From the sound of it, the whole ordeal was handled really well.

Two nurses that were passengers on the flight helped the woman give birth in a “spacious area” in the front of the plane, Umandal wrote in the Facebook post. Flight attendants filled a shelf with mineral water to wash the baby, and another passenger gave infant clothing and supplies they had in their suitcase.
