EgyptAir recently got a brand-new passenger – for life.
Last week, an EgyptAir flight was traveling from Cairo to London when passenger Hiyam Nasr Naji Daaban, 38, went into labor.
The flight made an emergency landing in Munich, but before it landed, Daaban had already given birth to a baby girl, according to tweets from EgyptAir.
The next day, the airline announced the newborn would be given free airline tickets for life, at least to Munich.
