ICYMI: Fist-Bumping Boy Greets Southwest Passengers: Watch Video

CHARLOTTE, NC -- Commercial airline travel has gotten a bad rap lately due to big stories about bad behavior. As every air traveler knows, it’s the boarding, jockeying for carry-on space and staking claim to the armrest that can easily bring out the surliest in everyone. But for one little boy on a recent Raleigh-bound Southwest Airlines flight, finding his seat presented the perfect opportunity to say hello to passengers along the way.

A woman by the name Alya J. posted video of her son boarding the July 21 flight in Kansas City, fist bumping passengers down the aircraft aisle while he dragging his blanket.

“My son on the campaign trail, attempting to win the hearts of airline passengers in the hopes of becoming the next Southwest ambassador,” wrote mamaj1822 in an Instagram post. “He is making flying the friendly skies even friendlier with one fist bump at a time!”
