Crying children on board are a flyer’s worst nightmare.

However, a certain Todd Walker acted quite differently.

A while back, Jessica Rudeen, a 34-year old mom, was travelling with her two kids on an American Airlines flight to Wilmington, North Carolina. Owing to some issues at the security, she couldn’t feed her four-month-old son, Alexander, before they boarded the plane.

Little Alexander, understandably, started bawling as they were boarding. At this, Caroline (three), the elder sister, couldn’t hold back her tears. That’s when 51-year-old Todd Walker came to her rescue.

He held Alexander while Jessica tucked Caroline into her seat. After Caroline was comfortably seated, Jessica fed her son as Walker engaged Caroline, and put on her favourite movie, Trolls. Within minutes, Caroline stopped crying and and cosied herself into her seat.

By the end of the flight, the two had become best friends.

Touched by his kindness, Jessica took to Facebook to express her gratitude.
