Baby born on Cebu Pacific airplane gets one million air miles

[Happyhorn52]

After being born four hours into a flight from Dubai to Manila, baby girl Haven has been gifted one million air mile points.

Haven's mom went into labor more than five weeks early while flying on an aircraft operated by Philippines carrier Cebu Pacific on August 14.

 

Two nurses among the plane's passengers helped with the delivery alongside cabin crew as the pilot diverted to Hyderabad, India to seek further medical assistance.

 

The budget airline said it's the first time a baby has been born on one of its aircraft.

 

Airline CEO Lance Gokongwei said Haven would be awarded one million points on the airline's GetGo rewards program to celebrate the birth. The points have no expiry date and can be shared with her family.

Imagine all the people trying to give birth now on CP flights to maybe get another prize :D.

Wonder if they would give another prize if you would conseive the baby on one of the flights and then have it born 9 months later on another of their flight ?.
