Ohio Dad Booked 6 Flights Just to Join His Flight Attendant Daughter During Her Christmas Shifts

An Ohio father went to great lengths to spend Christmas with his daughter.

Pierce Vaughan, a flight attendant for Delta Airlines, had to work several flights throughout Christmas Eve and Day, so her father Hal Vaughan bought multiple plane tickets to spend the holiday with her in the sky.

“I had the pleasure of sitting next to Hal on my flight back home. His daughter Pierce was our flight attendant who had to work over Christmas,” Mike Levy wrote on Facebook alongside of a photo of himself with Hal as well as a photo of Pierce in her flight attendant uniform.

Levy met Hal on a flight from Fort Myers to Detroit. He also told the outlet that Hal had a challenging time catching each flight, but had a great time overall.

and, as a former airline employee who's logged many miles with my benefits, I admire this man more than anyone who's never done this can imagine.

And it would weird me out if either followed me around at my job for an entire day because he wanted to be close to me.

I would think for someone having to work over the holiday alone and away from family, the thought of at least one loved one to spend the day with them would add a little cheer to the day.
