Father Books 6 Flights To Stay With His Flight Attendant Daughter On Christmas
The winter holidays is the time of year when most of us are celebrating together with our families. Unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky – thousands of people are working during Christmas and are unable to spend time with their loved ones. One of these unlucky people was Pierce Vaughan – a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, who had to spend her Christmas Eve and Day in the air this year. However, her loving father found a way to spend the holidays with his working daughter. He booked six flights in total, across the whole of the U.S., just to be able to spend some time with his beloved daughter.

This sweet gesture was shared by one of the passengers, with whom Hal Vaughan – the father of the flight attendant – was travelling from Fort Myers to Detroit. The passenger – Mike Levy – later told Bored Panda: “I was extremely surprised to see the post go as viral as it has. I’m very happy to share such a heartwarming story.” He also added that “Hal was in an accident earlier in the year. He broke his neck and was quadriplegic for a while. He slowly began to recover and this was the first trip he had taken since his recovery. He still moves a bit slower, but stronger everyday from what he told me.”
Mike Levy snapped a photo of himself and Hal sitting together with Hal’s daughter Pierce. In the post he wrote: ‘Hal decided he would spend the holiday with her. So, he is flying on each of her flights today and tomorrow around the country to spend time with his daughter for Christmas. What a fantastic father! Wish you both a very Merry Christmas!’

The post has since been shared more than 28,000 times. This Tuesday, Pierce shared Mike Levy’s post and added: ‘Look ma we made it Kimberly Hal Vaughan. Dad’s first trip using his benefits was a success!’

‘A special thanks to all of the patient, wonderful gate agents around the country and my perfect crew. He made it on every flight and even got first class RSW-DTW (Christmas miracle). Shout-out to Mike Levy for being a great first class passenger & helping us to understand how cool this actually is!’
Needless to say, the story spread on the internet in no time

Share on FacebookYears ago I'd have smiled reading this and thinking that it's adorable but without giving it much thought... Now, all I'm thinking is "Yes, I'd do the same... If I have the means, of course!"... Yeah, you can guess what happened during this period! :)
Why do I feel like "Look Ma, We made it" a panic! at the disco song reference(Hey Look Ma,I made it)
I wish more men understood how much their love for their children means. This kid will have a lifetime's advantage in whatever she chooses just because she was deeply loved by her father.
No man will ever live up to her father. Makes me thankful for, oh wait never mind.
But it’s not like she could spend time with him while working anyway. Either way it’s a sweet gesture.
It amazes me the love some dads have for their beautiful daughters. My girls unfortunately do not have such a loving dad. He chose to spend his Christmas in Puerto Rico with his girlfriend and her family. Not even a "Merry Christmas" text, phone call, tweet to either of my girls. Forget presents, saving up for his girlfriend's engagement ring, screw the girls. Very, very sad.
I'm very sorry you and your children have to go through that.
Load More Replies...Not much of a "Daddy's girl" here, and never have been TBH. So it seems creepy to me, I'm just going to say it. However.....they obviously have a wonderful, close relationship so I say, more power to them. ;)
That's a lot of money to spend just to watch her serve drinks to other people. But I guess they had time in between flights... layovers
