Last year, a similar incident unfolded on a Vistara flight when the cabin crew arranged a little birthday celebration for their youngest flyer. The heartwarming surprise took place as the family was flying to Maldives with their toddler, who had turned one. The Vistara crew went above and beyond, presenting the little one a tiny cake, some fruits, along with a handwritten note. Impressed by the gesture, the family shared pictures of the celebration on Twitter.

“Loved the way how Vistara Crew celebrated my daughter’s very first birthday in air aboard Male bound flight UK271… This is truly a heartwarming gesture for us & our daughter. Thankyou Vistara,” wrote Rohit as he shared the images of the family and the surprises that they were presented with during the flight.

In response to Rohit’s post, the airline expressed, “First birthdays are indeed special and celebrating it at 35,000ft makes it even more special! The crew will be just as happy to read your #VistaraLove, Rohit.”
