Baby born on plane flying from Dubai to Philippines gets free flights for life

A baby girl unexpectedly born on a Cebu Pacific Air flight happens to have luck on her side pretty early in life as she was awarded free flights for life by the airline. News about the mid-air delivery first broke out after a fellow passenger, Missy Berberabe Umandal, shared the story in a Facebook post.

The post, which has now been shared more than 3,700 times, also carried a photo of the mother carrying her little bundle of joy in her arms. “We only heard one semi-loud screech, and a few seconds later, there were tinier, cute screeches, and it was when we knew the baby was born,” Umandal wrote.

Safety concerns for the baby prompted the flight to be diverted to India, which increased the travel time to an additional nine hours. However, Umandal insists that none of the passengers on board voiced any complaints.
