VANTAA, Finland (InsideEdition.com) — A Finnair pilot came to the aid of an overwhelmed mom flying solo with four kids – two of them babies.
“I have children of my own… so it came natural to me to help this customer with her babies,” said Capt. Tom Nystrom, who was on the flight as a passenger.
The flight crew pitched in to help the mother, who needed an extra lap to hold one of the babies.
“Naturally, one cannot travel with two babies on one’s lap,” flight attendant Ami Niemela
Today we had a mother on board travelling with four little boys. Two of the boys were just babies. Naturally one cannot travel with two babies on one’s lap, so we had to solve the dilemma of missing lap, otherwise it would have been a no go for mom and the kids. Luckily we had our positioning crew on board and wonderful Tom didn’t hesitate one second when I asked him to take the task of being the extra-lap. Don’t you find them quite adorable! <3 #airlinecrew #positioning #extrachores #babyonboard #feelfinnair #finnairpilots #avgeek #service #adorable #serviceexcellence #cute #pilot #bestattitude #mycaptain #whentheresawilltheresaway #paxex

When one baby got fussy, he simply handed the child to the mother and picked up the other infant.
