This is an American Airlines gate in the Seattle-Tacoma airport that was hand-decorated by American Airlines employees on their own time.  The gate is where one child’s dream vacation started earlier this month as they boarded their WishFlight.

American Airlines and the Something mAAgic Foundation joined with A Special Wish Foundation, Inc., The Dream Factory, Inc., and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, respectively, to help 31 kids (from all around the United States) visit Orlando’s Give Kids the World Village and area attractions.

The gate is beautiful and when I asked an American Airlines employee about it she explained it to me in great detail and she cried the entire time.  It’s nice to see that kind of passion.  Kudos, American Airlines.

Have you seen someone in the travel industry showing some heart? Let us know, we’d love to spread the word!
