This Baby Was Born on a Plane and Immediately Glo'd Up With 1 Million Air Miles

While it can take years for most of us to rack up enough airline miles to take a trip a quarter of the way across the country, one little baby just got set up with enough frequent flyer points to last until she's at least old enough to start driving. Haven, a baby who was born on a Cebu Pacific Air flight halfway between Dubai and the Philippines, was given the birthday gift of a whopping 1 million air miles by the airline, the Guardian reported.

Haven's mother went into labor Sunday after the flight had been airborne for four hours. Little Haven was born five weeks before she was expected to greet the world, but the aircraft's crew was able to find two nurses on board who assisted Haven's mom with the birth. Mark Martin, the flight's cabin crew lead, told the Guardian two flight attendants working the flight are also trained nurses and were able to help.

A passenger aboard the flight, Missy Berberabe Umandal, posted her account of Haven's birth to Facebook, writing,

Cebu Pacific Air posted on Facebook Wednesday that Haven was the first baby ever to be born on one of its flights and decided to celebrate the milestone and Haven's safe delivery by giving her 1 million points through the airline's GETGO frequent flyer points program. The Facebook post added that Haven would be able to share the points with her family (family vacation anyone?).

The flight was redirected to Hyderabad, India so that Haven and her mom could get further medical attention.
