KANSAS CITY — At a time when overbooking and in-flight brawls are dominating headlines around the world, it’s nice to finally hear about an air travel story that puts a smile on your face.
Two-year-old Guy Jakubowicz, who recently flew with his mother, Alya, from Kansas City to Chicago onboard Southwest Airlines, has single-handedly given the airline industry some much needed positive PR.
Video taken by his mother shows the adorable tot walking down the aisle of the plane, giving a fist bump to everyone he passes. Even cuter? Guy is seen holding tight to his blankie with his other hand the entire time.
In the 30-second clip, passengers can be heard gushing over Guy, with many obliging his request.
In her Instagram post, Alya writes: “My son on the campaign trail, attempting to win the hearts of airline passengers in the hopes of becoming the next Southwest ambassador. He is making flying the friendly skies even friendlier with one fist bump at a time!”
The video has since gone viral, prompting Southwest Airlines to share it on its Facebook page.
