A truly emotional and unforgettable moment unfolded on a UK-based airline, Jet2, as a wife bravely shared incredible personal news with hundreds of fellow passengers.
Shared on TikTok by @carroter.lou, the clip went viral, moving viewers across social media and leading to a large outpouring of well-wishes and support.
The video begins with the wife, visibly nervous, as she stands up to walk down the aisle of a plane packed with over 200 passengers. She begins to address the assembled travellers, her voice shaky but determined, asking them to join her in celebrating her partner for being an exceptional father.
Her husband stood in the aisle at the back, holding their baby, as if he had walked from the rear of the aircraft.

Big announcement in the sky
Briefly News spoke with a former cabin crew member about big announcements onboard during her decade-long career in the skies.
The team asked what drew her to a career as a cabin crew and what her most surprising aspect was after she started. She responded:
"Growing up, I was always fascinated by travel and different cultures, and SAA, being our national carrier, felt like the ultimate gateway to that. The idea of meeting people from all walks of life and seeing the world was extremely appealing.
What surprised me most once I started was the intense focus on safety. While the glamour and service aspects are visible, the strict safety training and the responsibility of being a first responder in any emergency emphasise the seriousness of the role."
We asked the former globe-trotter if she's ever experienced a big announcement by a passenger on board. She added:
"Absolutely! One of the most heartwarming moments I witnessed onboard was when a passenger, a colleague's partner, proposed to her during a flight. He had coordinated with our purser and, with the help of one of us, managed to surprise her.

When asked what advice she would give to someone aspiring to become a cabin crew member for an airline like SAA. Inga said:
"My advice would be to be passionate about service and connecting with people. It's more than just a job; it's a lifestyle. Be prepared for challenges, but embrace the incredible opportunities for personal growth and global experiences. Focus on developing strong communication skills, resilience, and a genuine desire to help others. Remember, every flight is a new adventure."

The clip garnered a substantial number of views, comments, and likes from social media users, who flooded the comments section with heartfelt congratulations for the couple. Many were emotional, praising the woman's courage and expressing deep understanding of her feelings and her desire to celebrate her husband's victory openly and loudly.
