Holiday Preciousness: This Dad From Ohio Purchased 6 Flights Just To Spend Christmas With His Flight Attendant Daughter

Read more:

Source: NurPhoto / Getty There are no more excuses for not seeing your family next holiday season, all because of one dedicated dad from Ohio. One father went the extra mile(s) this Christmas , booking six different flights to spend the holiday with his daughter, who works as a flight attendant. Delta Airlines attendant Pierce Vaughan wasn’t able to take the day off for Christmas Eve or Christmas day, so her father Hal decided to join her. He used his accrued miles and points to spend the holidays with her in the sky as she completed her job for the rest of the Christmas travelers on board. Their absolutely adorable story went viral after one passenger shared  it on Facebook , after sitting next to Hal on the plane and realizing exactly what was going on. “I had the pleasure of sitting next to Hal on my flight back home. His daughter Pierce was our flight attendant who had to work over Christmas,” Mike Levy wrote on his Facebook with a selfie of himself next to Hal. “Hal decided he would spend the holiday with her. So, he is flying on each of her flights today and tomorrow around the country to spend time with his daughter for Christmas. What a fantastic father! Wish you both a very Merry Christmas!” What a fantastic father, indeed. And as you could probably imagine, people on Twitter ran with this story and everyone agrees: this is the most wholesome thing ever. One Twitter user got emotional, mentioning the fact that her father–who passed away almost a decade ago–would have done something exactly like this. She tweeted, “My dad passed away 7 years ago but this is something he would have done..I love reading sweet stories like this. It sounds like her dad is a wonderful man. I hope they enjoyed their Christmas.” My dad passed away 7 years ago but this is something he would have done..I love reading sweet stories like this. It sounds like her dad is a wonderful man. I hope they enjoyed their Christmas. pic.twitter.com/nvDL2cnkcu — libbygirl (@libbygirl9) December 27, 2018 Other people online were quickly attached to this story and also shared their praise for this awesome dad. The compliments were a’plenty within the comments of all the outlets posting this story, bringing some Christmas joy to the internet even a few days after the holiday ended. This is the best story! What an amazing father! This daughter is so lucky to have a father this loving! — Kimberly (@KimberlyGrnMtn) December 27, 2018   How amazing and wonderfully sweet — lisa (@lisa39784897) December 27, 2018   Your a very lucky girl and he is s lucky man, many blessings — Mona Lee Robinson (@Numberonemom11) December 27, 2018 Though many people are pointing out the fact that this father purchasing the flights isn’t exactly the same as any normal person–since he used points and benefits from his daughter’s job–it’s not just the money that makes this gesture so sweet. Most of us don’t want to spend a few hours on a flight just to get to our destination–so staying on a plane for 2 days straight to hang out with a loved one takes things to a whole new level. Shoutout to Hal, you’re the real MVP!

The Bachelorette Spoilers: Rachel Lindsay Final Three Revealed!

Filming for the upcoming season is still in the works, but The Bachelorette spoilers reveal who Rachel Lindsay picks as her final four suitors. And, very possibly, who she has already picked as the winner. Rachel doesn’t debut in the lead role until Monday, May 22. But, if you know anything about the show, then you are well aware that The Bachelorette spoilers leak like a sieve throughout the spring. Ever since Lindsay was named The Bachelorette – before she had even been eliminated from The Bachelor – speculation has run wild. And, to the surprise of no one, Reality Steve (a.k.a. the Oracle of The Bachelorette spoilers) has been on top of this like Nick Viall on … … well, anything that moves. Pre-Vanessa, of course! As a result of his sleuthing, we can confirm that Rachel has already gone on hometown dates with her final four selections this season. Ready to find out exactly who those lucky men are? Lindsay will start the season with more than two dozen men vying for her heart, and 15 minutes of fame (there’s a thin line on The Bachelorette ). The fab four gents who make it to hometowns: 1. Dean Unglert. 2. DOCTOR Bryan Abasolo. 3. The amazingly named Eric Bigger. 4. Peter Kraus (not to be confused with actor Peter Krause with an “E” of Sports Night, Six Feet Under and Parenthood fame). When it comes down to the final three to take on overnight dates (read: Fantasy Suite sexiness), Rachel had to make a tough decision. Which of them gets sent packing?! Dean Unglert (above) is eliminated, but rest assured, he will be headed to Bachelor in Paradise this summer, according to Steve. How so? Apparently, there’s a new Bachelor Douche Collective in L.A., where Robby Hayes, Chase McNary and Jef Holm are all living together. You can’t make this stuff up … but you can move right next door to them if you’re Dean Unglert, which is a thing that is actually happening. As for the final three of Eric Bigger, Peter Kraus and Bryan Abasolo, there may be a twist this season in terms of scheduling and format. With Rachel’s sister pregnant, and her dad being a federal judge, they visited Lindsay’s home city of Dallas sooner, and not at her home. As of last weekend, all three remaining men met her family, but at a home that wasn’t theirs (for security reasons is the going theory). So who will win the final rose? Will Eric Bigger (above) be the first African-American winner of the show, capturing the heart of the first African-American Bachelorette? Or will it be Peter Kraus (below) or Bryan Abasolo (below him) who outlasts the rest and proposes with a Neil Lane ring at season’s end? Right now, it’s too soon to tell. In fact, with the family meeting Peter Friday, Eric Saturday, and Bryan Sunday in Dallas, per Steve, it’s a bit unclear what the format is. There is some speculation that the overnight dates took place there, though Dallas, Texas, doesn’t seem like the most romantic spot. “Big D” jokes aside … come on. They would be giving Rachel the shaft compared to previous seasons and there’s no disputing that. Besides, people would see them, so what we’re guessing is that the final two (whomever they may be) are now off to overnights instead. Most likely, the destination will be somewhere international, where the social media obsession with The Bachelor franchise is negligible. Sure, The Bachelorette spoilers get out anyway, but ABC would prefer it if there weren’t photo evidence and minute-by-minute live tweets. Just a hunch there. Again, it’s not clear who Rachel Lindsay chose as the final two, whether the exit of the third-place finisher happened in Dallas, or what.  Spain has been rumored as a destination for the final rose ceremony, or ceremonies, but that has yet to be confirmed as of this minute. There’s a lot up in the air right now. All we know is that we’re in for a great deal of drama, controversy, scandal and more when the show premieres two weeks from Monday. When we know more, and we can bring you the spoilers revealing what else happens all spring and summer, we will do so on THG. Spoilers side, do you think Rachel and her future fiance (whichever among the final three it may be) have what it takes to make it to the altar? Stay tuned, people. Stay. Tuned.

Delta to Parents: Get Off This Flight… or We’ll Take Your Kids!

At this rate, the airline industry may soon be less popular than Congress. We're barely even kidding. By now, most of the free world is aware that United Airlines dragged a customer named David Dao often a flight earlier this month because he refused to give up the seat he had paid for. This incident was followed by Delta Airlines tossing a man off a plane because he dared to use the bathroom while the jet was still on the ground. Now, seemingly in an attempt to top its own ridiculousness, Delta has done the following… On April 23, Brian and Brittany Shear say they were on board a flight from Hawaii to California along with their two-year old son. Brian explained to a flight attendant that he originally bought the seat next to him for his 18-year-old son… but decided to put him on an earlier flight so that he could use that same seat for his younger child, Grayson, who was in a car seat. However, the airline said it had overbooked the flight and it needed the seat Mason was now occupying; it argued that it had a right to it because Mason’s name was NOT the name on the ticket that was purchased. It's a bit complicated. But the bottom line is that an airline once again overbooked a flight and, in this case, was telling the parents of a young child that they had to get off as a result. “You’re saying you’re gonna give that away to someone else when I paid for that seat?” Brian tells the airline employee in the video below. “That’s not right.” An airplane employee then says that under Federal Aviation Administration regulations, two-year-old kids cannot have their own seat and must fly while seated in their parents’ laps for the flight. (This is not accurate; the websites for both the FAA and Delta encourage parents to buy separate seats for young children and use a child safety restraint system.) Fine, then: Brian agreed to hold Grayson in his lap. /But he was still told to exit the plane – or face the consequences. According to Brian, an employee said the following to them during this exchange: “You have to give up the seat or you’re going to jail, your wife is going to jail and they’ll take your kids from you.” What a lovely policy. Watch the full encounter below:

Delta Airlines are Racist of the Day

We got kicked out of a @Delta airplane because I spoke Arabic to my mom on the phone and with my friend slim… WTFFFFFFFF please spread pic.twitter.com/P5dQCE0qos — Adam Saleh (@omgAdamSaleh) December 21, 2016 So we live in a world where a group of white people can complain that someone is speaking a language they don’t like – because it is Arabic – the language of terrorists – and the airline will kick the people speaking Arabic – the language of terrorists off the plane – even though they went through security like everyone else….it’s the land of the free if you’re a white english speaking hick….. Turns out the joke is on Delta, because the dude they kicked off is a Youtuber….with 1.5 million subscribers – 288,000 twitter followers…the kind of person brands pay huge money to do videos and bullshit for….brands like Delta…who if you’ve ever flown Delta you will know is a nice Mid Western staffed airline of some of the ugliest looking white women… So now Delta will have to pay as they should, cuz people should be allowed to speak whatever the fuck they want to speak wherever the fuck they want to speak it…and some fat white people shouldn’t have the power to dictate that…but I guess you’re living in the TRUMP regime and this is the kind of love he spreads… Sure I find it offensive…but I don’t really care either way, I just want to see Delta scramble, because big brands are the fucking worst and seeing them get called out on this level is so fucking good…the internet wins. Read his tweets HERE …it’s an interesting story and possibly part of the attitude as to why Arabs want to blow your country up…I mean that and invading their countries and killing their people… Don’t fuck with Social Media Stars….

Victoria Justice Is Still A Cutie

Here’s one of my all-time favorite cuties Victoria Justice at Delta Airlines’ Grammy pre-party, and no, I’m not entirely sure why an airline threw a party for a music awards show. But considering Victoria brought her super-cute cleavage along, I definitely approve. And you’ve got to admit, she looks good in that captain’s hat . I’d make a cockpit joke, but to be honest, I’m a little distracted right now. So instead, I’ll just shut up and let us enjoy. You’re welcome. Photos: WENN.com

Victoria Justice Is My Sweetheart!

I thought the Grammys weren’t until Sunday, but for some reason, everybody and their mother had their very own pre-Grammy party last night. Here’s one for Delta Airlines that somehow convinced my former babe of the year Victoria Justice to show up and put on one hell of a leg show. I don’t really get the whole Delta/Grammys/Victoria connection, but I’m hoping this new partnership means I’ll be able to cash in all my unused frequent flyer miles for a sleepover date with Victoria. Because that would be way better than a stupid free trip to Europe. » view all 11 photos Photos: WENN.com

2 Chainz Arrested At Airport With Brass Knuckles

Atlanta rapper detained at NYC’s LaGuardia Airport after his ring set off an alarm, Port Authority officials confirm to MTV News. By Nadeska Alexis 2 Chainz Photo: MTV News 2 Chainz joined Drake on his Club Paradise Tour in Atlanta on Sunday night. But while jetting from New York to North Carolina on Tuesday (May 22) for another stop on the cross-country jaunt, the rapper was arrested for carrying “brass knuckles” in his bag. A Port Authority officer confirmed to MTV News that 2 Chainz (born Tauheed Epps) was apprehended while entering the Delta Airlines terminal at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport after officials found a pair of “metal knuckles” in his carry-on bag. Police took Chainz into custody for misdemeanor possession of a weapon in the 4th degree at around 1:45 p.m. ET. “The knuckles were in his personal bag and sounded the alarm,” the officer told us. The “No Lie” rapper was held in detention at the airport, where he’ll eventually be taken to Queens County Central booking to be formally charged. Meanwhile, his peers, including DJ Drama and Big Sean, who saw him wearing the ring earlier this week, have addressed the arrest on Twitter, calling foul. “2 chainz ain’t have no brass knuckles, it was a 4 finger ring that spelled hood,” Big Sean wrote minutes after news of the arrest was reported. “We had a shoot yesturday n he was rockin em.” DJ Drama, who dropped The Lost Tape with 50 Cent on Tuesday, spread the #Free2Chainz hashtag, adding an Instagram photo that shows 2 Chainz wearing the ring — clearly designed just for style. MTV News caught up with the Def Jam signee before he took the stage in Atlanta on Sunday night, and he’s seen sporting the same ring in the video footage. “The atmosphere is just unexplainable right now,” he said of Drake’s Club Paradise Tour. “We just came from the West Coast and the closer we get to home, the warmer it feels, as far as the welcome.” In the past few months, the Playaz Circle rapper has broken out of the underground to become a fixture on the mainstream, but he emphasizes that it was a long time in the making. “I built a relationship with Drake on [Wayne’s] I Am Music Tour,” he said. “I met Nicki [Minaj] and Drake on the tour, and they’re the ones that kept [me believing] in the back of my mind that I could do something, because I knew them when they were just trying to get on like me.” Fans can catch 2 Chainz in much better spirits on tonight’s premiere episode of MTV2’s “Hip Hop Squares” at 11p.m.ET.
