Kira was returning from her freshman year of college with her beta fish when she got news that “Theo” couldn’t go with her. The fish wasn’t allowed on the flight!!

That’s when Southwest Airlines agent, Ismael, and his fiancee, Jamee, offered to take in the fish for the summer so that the college student wouldn’t miss her flight.

As you might imagine, during the pandemic, social media was full of NEGATIVE stories involving airlines and experiences on planes however, this one seems to definitely be one that will make you smile.

Take A Look How This Went Down!
