Service users voted for those whose story they are caught more than others — so decided five that will due to the «celestial Santa» to fly on these holidays to the family and loved ones.
Many raised the question: why Peter Shankman it does not a billionaire? Lecturer, journalist, author of scientific articles, which were in constant move, explained: «I’m not rich, not famous, but I have in my possession a unique resource. I travel a lot, and so I have a lot of miles. This year I would like to send at least two (and maybe three or four or more) insurancew home for the holidays, because I like to make people smile.»
As it turned out, miles was enough for five — they will be celebrating Christmas under the Christmas tree with my parents, with friends, with your favorite girls. The only condition set khorishki Santa to those who went in flight, were «to Be nice on the road, especially with the staff of airports and airlines — they have to survive the holidays in hell».

Shankman brings up a small daughter and regular flights do not allow him to be with her as much time as I would like, but now many will be able to see loved ones for the holiday table. And most importantly, says Peter, he wants to show her daughter that miracles do happen, especially if you figure out how to create itself — the forces that have.
This is not the first good Christmas aviation story this year. Passenger American Airlines struck by their generosity and responsiveness of Facebook, behind the woman with a sick child seat in 1st class. The story of Shankman is a story about United Airlines — all-miles of heavenly Santa’s accumulated there, and all the flights presented to the lucky winners within the United States.
