A first flight is often more than just a journey from one destination to another. For many, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with excitement, nervousness and the thrill of seeing the world from above for the very first time. A recent Instagram video captured that feeling beautifully when a traveller realised that the passenger sitting next to him was experiencing his first-ever flight and decided to make the moment even more special.
