A Dublin Airport passenger received an extremely kind gesture on a recent flight with United Airlines as Ireland was forced into a nationwide Level 3 lockdown.
The flier had to leave the capital to see her sister, who is currently battling with cancer, but was understandably nervous about the potentially dangerous trip.
Picking up Covid-19 while travelling could be detrimental to her sister's health condition but luckily a United Airline's employee was on hand to make sure she was well looked after on the trip.
Taking to Twitter, she thanked the thoughtful worker who eased her mind on the journey with his big gift.
She said: "Thank you to the lovely United Airline employee at Dublin Airport who gave me this huge bag of sanitiser products.
She added: "He knew I was travelling to visit my sister who has cancer and didn't want me to pick anything up on the way.
"There is good people out there. Thank you so much."
