A father spent Christmas flying around the United States so that his daughter, a flight attendant, would not spend the festive season alone.

Hal Vaughan flew on every flight his daughter worked on, so she could spend the holiday with her family.

Pierce later revealed her father had been upgraded to first class on the trip from Fort Myers to Detroit.

Passenger Mike Levy, who sat next to the father, uploaded a Facebook post about the touching gesture. The post quickly went viral, receiving over 138,000 reactions since it had been uploaded on Christmas Eve.

“What a fantastic father! Wish you both a very Merry Christmas!” he said.
