- **Read the full** account below to see the pakcik's emotional parting words and why the passenger hopes strangers show the same kindness to his parents.

##### Many of us would probably prefer having a window to look out from during a long flight, so much so that some are willing to pay in advance just to secure a window seat.

But for one Malaysian passenger, giving up that seat to an elderly man who was flying for the first time ended up meaning much more than just the view.

## Gave up window seat to pakcik

In a post shared on [Threads](https://www.threads.com/@bashir_fauzi/post/DYUOt4PibBt), the passenger said he had originally booked the window seat for himself.

However, after learning that a pakcik seated nearby was taking a flight for the first time, he decided to let him have the window seat instead.

> **Booked the window seat for myself, but gave it to a *pakcik* because it was his first time taking a flight."**

According to the passenger, the *pakcik* spent the entire flight looking out of the window and did not stop admiring the view outside.

While it may have seemed like a simple seat swap, the moment became emotional when the *pakcik* thanked the passenger before getting off the plane.

"Thank you, child. *Pakcik* got to see the clouds from above. After this, I don’t know if I’ll still have the chance to take a flight again,” the elderly man said.

## A simple gesture that meant a lot

The passenger said the window seat suddenly felt much more meaningful after hearing the pakcik’s words.

What was initially just a seat with a nice view became a reminder that certain experiences may mean much more to others, especially when it is their first and possibly only chance to enjoy them.

The passenger added that he were not expecting anything in return for the gesture. Instead, he said he only hoped that one day, if his own parents were out there and needed kindness from strangers, someone else would treat them well too.
