According to a fellow flier Kevin Leslie who shared the story, the man became helpless upon learning that he couldn't board the aeroplane with his little kid because she didn't have a ticket.
He had booked the flight when his toddler was a year old and didn't realize that she needed a ticket of her own.
Helpless, the man was said to have begun making calls in order to seek help only for the kind-hearted lady to walk up to him and offered to help after being aware of the situation.
The stunned man gave the woman a hug in appreciation while the flight agent was left in awe.
