Passenger tucks blanket around sleeping child on international flight
A mother witnessed a stranger gently cover her son with a blanket during a long-haul flight from Europe to Australia.
Family arrives in Australia
The woman traveled with four children under the age of seven after immigrating from Europe. Her husband had flown ahead to secure housing before she followed seven weeks later with the group.
Flight attendant changes seating
A flight attendant required the family to change their arrangement for security reasons on the nearly 24-hour journey. The five-year-old son ended up sitting alone in a middle-row seat next to a male passenger.
Stranger shows kindness
The man seated beside the boy did not show annoyance at having a child nearby. When the mother woke from sleep, she saw the stranger pulling a blanket up over her son.
