A newborn baby will get an early taste of what it’s like to navigate the fine print in airline agreements. A woman gave birth on an EgyptAir flight from Cairo to London last week, and the company says her child will receive free flights for life.

The airline tweeted a statement explaining that a woman from Yemen gave birth on Wednesday, September 16, while traveling on a flight from Cairo to London. The woman, Hiyam Nasr Naji Daaban, reportedly went into labor mid-flight, prompting the pilot to initiate an emergency landing while in German airspace. But this child was in a hurry to reach their personal destination and was safely delivered before the flight could touch down in Munich.
