Dominick, who had just turned four at the time, was moving from London to Singapore with his family when SIA cabin crew Alice and Sandy sang him a birthday song, wrote him a card and goofed about with him on the flight.
Two Singapore Airlines stewardesses made such an impression on Dominick Lee O’Donnell and his family during a 13-hour flight from London to Singapore 13 years ago that they became his childhood heroes.
Dominick, who lost touch with the two women after that flight, bumped into Sandy again in a chance encounter during a flight from Singapore to London in 2016, this time in economy class. Now, thanks to Tiktok, he has reconnected with Alice.The teenager, who hopes to be a pilot, told The Straits Times that the two stewardesses had shown him “how to make meaningful connections” and left a deep impact on his family.
“I didn’t think I had gone out of the way to show more care or attention. We always pay more attention to families travelling with children as they will require more assistance,” said the former SIA stewardess, who is in her 40s.In 2016, when he met Sandy again, the SIA stewardess gave him a tour of the aircraft after learning that he wanted to be a pilot. Dominick obtained a recreational pilot certificate in Australia in 2022.
