November 2016, Mia our daughter had just turned one and was quite excited exploring her new found skill of walking! Around the same time happened to be our first ID90 (discounted staff ticket) flight to Mauritius. Getting to experience the mighty and beautiful A380 was another first.
A couple of hours into our flight, after the meal service was done, I got up and through the corner of my eye I could see my little one also getting down from her seat. Before even I could call her name, she was gone, in a flash! Neither my wife or my son could find her. We searched everyone, even the seat pockets!
Panic set-in, though the only consoling thought was she won't get lost outside the aircraft since we were cruising at 35000 feet! I first thought of checking the upper deck since she loved climbing the stairs. But before that I thought of informing the Crew and was about to head to the front galley of the aircraft.
That was when I saw a tiny little human being, completely oblivious to the scare she created, happily seated on the arms of the purser of the flight, playing with the toy gifted to her. He reached near me and my lovely little naughty daughter jumped onto my hands showing promptly the toy she received and giving me a full smile flashing the beautiful milk teeth she recently got!
