Baby born on flight wins travel bonanza

A baby born on-board a Philippines aircraft en route from Dubai to Manila is destined to become a global explorer after winning one million air points. The infant girl, dubbed Haven, was delivered by cabin crew on Cebu Pacific and two nurses travelling on the flight halfway between the two cities. The flight was diverted to India so that mother and baby, who was eight weeks premature, could receive medical assistance. It was the first such incident for the low-cost Philippines carrier. To celebrate, the airline awarded the baby a million in-house loyalty points, which can be used for travel on any of its flights and can be shared with Haven’s family.
