A newborn named Haven just received a gift we're guessing her parents didn't register for: 1 million air miles from Philippines carrier Cebu Pacific.
How come? Because last week Haven was born on one of the airline's flights.
Haven's mother went into labor—more than five weeks early—in midair somewhere between Dubai and Manila. With the help of the cabin crew and two nurses who happened to be among the plane's passengers, she gave birth to the baby as the pilot diverted the flight to Hyderabad, India.
Cebu Pacific says Haven is the first baby ever born on one of its aircraft. She and her mother are both doing well.
According to one passenger, in fact, the birth was pretty uneventful, considering. "We only heard one semi-loud screech," Missy Berberabe Umandal wrote on Facebook, "and a few seconds later, there were tinier, cute screeches, and it was when we knew the baby was born."
Thank heavens they gave all those airline miles to a baby who already knows not to cry too much on a plane.
