    I knew something about this - a good friend of mine I have known for twenty years has "IN THE AIR" listed as their birthplace.
    I don't know if they still do so, but it was the custom for BA flights to carry paperwork attesting to a birth which would then be sent back to company via radio - the CAA and not the General Registry Office would then duly issue a birth certificate which is a duty they still do to this day

    “Dad, how come my brother is named Douglas?”
    “Son, he was born on a flight. The plane was a Douglas DC-9.”
    “Oh. Thanks, Dad.”
    “No problem, Airbus.”

    Too bad you didn't mention the record El-Al evacuation flight, which started with 1086 passengers on board and landed with 1088 passengers, due to two separate births.

    Not a pregnancy, but I was on a flight with a medical emergency. I have some first aid and medical training so I helped assist the flight crew when no one presented themselves. Passenger had a severe panic attack, I had some medical equipment in my carry-on to monitor vital signs and constantly kept the flight deck updated. Once we got on the ground, the shift supervisor gave me a $250 flight voucher, the airport gave a $100 gift card for the airport and the airline sent a $400 voucher as a thank you.
    I wonder what you get for delivering a baby on board lol

    You have to throw it overboard because the extra weight means the plane cannot make it to the destination and will crash. Also, the baby would use up valuable oxygen that the other passengers need. FACTS!

    Free flights for life.....wow.
    If only it would be a
    larger airline like
    Luftansa, air france, ANA, japan airlines, american, united, qatar, emirates, turkish, cathay, sas, iberia, qantas, latam, British airways, klm, aeroflot, china airlines, korean air, china southern, etc.
    But even if its MIAT mongolian airlines, they those twins are lucky to get such treatment, although getting born there isnt the safest way for it to happen id imagine.
    Also one question, did buisness class count?
