Orchestrating the grand reveal for the flight

Small or grand surprises like these go a long way, and what could be a better way to show affection towards your parents than this?

It’s certainly a heartwarming moment, more for the father-daughter duo than us watchers.

Xylene shared a video of the grand reveal on her Instagram account, which also included her father’s reaction.

As you might have guessed, he was speechless at first and trying not to tear up.

In addition, she went to great lengths to make this entire thing happen because she was the one who dropped her father at the airport.

As she mentioned, Xylene orchestrated it by telling him she had a flight to New Mexico on the same day.

Little did he know that he had front-row tickets to the most exceptional flight of his life.

Moments like these are truly a delight to watch, similar to this son who surprised his dad on his 70th birthday with a Mini Cooper.

Xylene also mentioned that this was her way of saying thanks for everything her father gave her.

Her becoming a pilot was only made possible by her dad, who was there when she was stuck.

“Your belief in me has been the wind beneath my wings. I couldn’t have come this far without you, and thank you for always being present in my life. I hope you enjoy this flight as much as I enjoy having you on board,” she said in the video.

Although the dad was left speechless, he told all the passengers, “I’ll try not to tear up.”

He had a look of pride on his face, and it was well worth it.
