Flight attendant had to work on Christmas, father travels on every flight to spend time with her

A father/daughter’s story is going viral on Facebook for their unique Christmas celebration.

Pierce Vaughen is a flight attendant for Delta and was scheduled to work Christmas Eve and Christmas, so her father, Hal, went above and beyond to see her.

Hal decided if she couldn’t be home, he would go to her…on a flight in the sky. The dad’s action was noticed by another passenger, Mike Levy, who decided to post about it on Facebook.

“I had the pleasure of sitting next to Hal on my flight back home. His daughter Pierce was our flight attendant who had to work over Christmas. 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!”

Pierce noticed the post and decided to share/comment back.

“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).

Shoutout to Mike Levy for being a great first class passenger & helping us to understand how cool this actually is!”
