When it comes to airlines, it’s not often you hear a heartwarming story that puts a smile on your face. But that’s exactly what happened when a mom took to Facebook to share her wonderful experience with Delta Airlines while pumping during her flight.

Jenna, a mother of triplets, shared a snapshot of herself pumping in her seat on a Delta flight from Atlanta to Dallas. In her post, she expressed gratitude for the flight attendants who went above and beyond to support her as a nursing mom. Not only did they treat her with kindness and respect, but they also offered her snacks and even moved her to a more spacious first-class seat for added privacy while she pumped. She wrote: “As a breastfeeding mother to triplets, I can’t afford to skip a pumping session, especially while traveling. During my flight, two amazing flight attendants, Sarah and Emily, helped me by offering an empty first-class seat for more comfort while I pumped. They kept me supplied with snacks and plenty of water throughout my session. On my return flight, the gate attendant, Mia, was equally accommodating!”

Jenna felt incredibly thankful for the way Delta’s staff made her experience easier, noting that their advocacy for breastfeeding and pumping is commendable. Many others echoed her sentiments in the comments, sharing their own positive experiences with Delta, like one mom who said they arranged a private row for her while nursing. It’s disheartening that breastfeeding moms often face judgment, so it’s a breath of fresh air to see a company stepping up to support them.

This story serves as a hopeful reminder that progress is being made. It’s about time businesses recognize the needs of nursing moms, and hopefully, more will follow Delta’s lead in providing excellent customer service and support.
