I'm someone who once had a full on panic attack on a plane and this is so incredibly kind and helpful. Especially the explaining of what's going on.

"She deserves a raise,"several people wrote.

"I've had something very similar happen before, and the flight attendants and my seatmates were simply amazing in their kindness,"a comment reads.

Metals to her co-workers too who probably had an extra workload so this attendant could help this person. Well done everyone!

"Thank you for highlighting the helper without also exploiting the person struggling, publicly,"a comment reads.

I witnessed this on an AC flight. Hong Kong to Toronto. The flight attendant was truly fabulous. He took it all in stride and was so comforting to the passenger. Told her not to worry that he’d help her feel better. Gave her oxygen, reassured her. I was so impressed. It worked.
