Violet, a retired nurse from New York was traveling down to visit her daughter in London, while Jack was traveling home to the British capital after enjoying a family trip to the Big Apple.

Both Jack and Violet, according to the New Zealand Herald had struck up an improbable friendship while waiting at the airport terminal. ‘Jack and his family bought the seats in our upper-class cabin for a flight home, but when he got on board, Jack found violet in the economy and swapped seats with her.’ Amy, a flight attendant explained in her Facebook post.

Amy continued: ‘Jack then sat in the row of seats directly next to the economy toilets and didn’t make a peep or asked for anything. No attention, No fuss – he did it out of the kindness of his own heart. He wasn’t asked to do it.’

Amy went on to reveal that Violet frequently travels down to the United Kingdom to see her daughter who works there, but hasn’t been able to for some time due to her knee replacement.
