So many small good deeds go unseen every day, but thanks to social media we get to see a few come across our timelines every now and then. There is no better example of this than the story of Violet and Jack, two passengers on a lengthy Virgin Atlantic international flight.

Violet, an 88-year-old Black woman, was flying between New York City and London to meet her daughter. She's a retired nurse in the U.K. but hasn't been able to make the trip to see her daughter since her knee replacement surgery. 

While at the airport, she struck up a conversation with Jack who was flying with his family in business class. According to The New Zealand Herald, when he boarded the plane he went to the economy section to find Violet and offer his seat to her. 

Manchester-based Virgin Atlantic flight attendant Leah Amy captured the sweet moment and posted the photos to her Facebook page. Although she wasn't able to catch either person's last name, she praised Jack for giving up his seat so the 88-year-old could fly comfortably.

"Of the hundreds of flights I’ve operated, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after footballers, supermodels and some Hollywood movie stars but let me tell you about my two [favorite] passengers EVER! Jack and Violet (I wish she was called Vera or Rose)," Amy wrote on Facebook.

"Jack and his family purchased seats in our upper-class cabin for a flight home from New York, but when he got on board, Jack went and found Violet in economy and swapped seats with her. He then sat on the row of seats directly next to the economy toilets and never made a peep or asked for anything the rest of the flight. No fuss, no attention, literally did it out of the kindness of his own heart, no one asked him [to]," she added.

Later in her post, Amy explained that Violet said her dream had always been to sit at the front. She didn't have a phone or email address, so the flight attendant said she would send the photos to her through the mail. 

"Her dream has always been to sit at the front, and Jack made that come true," Amy wrote in her post.

"You should have seen her face when I tucked her in her bed after supper. She said her daughter won’t believe her and wanted a ‘selfie’ to prove it, but didn’t have a phone or an email address. These photos are getting sent in the post tomorrow, can you even cope," she added. 

A spokesperson for Virgin Atlantic told Fox News that it was a "lovely story," and Amy's post was flooded with hundreds of positive comments from people across the world lauding Jack for doing something kind and not seeking any recognition for it. 

The post has now accumulated nearly 10,000 likes on Facebook.
