Flying can be an absolute chore for many travelers, but a two-year-old boy has helped liven up any flight he has been on thanks to his penchant for fist-bumping fellow passengers as he walks down the aisle.
According to ABCNews.com, Guy Jakubowicz was flying with his family from Kansas City, Missouri, to Chicago, Illinois, on July 20 when the video of him walking down the aisle while fist-bumping those he passed was shared online.
"It's his signature move. He's a little politician," Guy's mother, Alya Jakubowicz, told ABC News. "He's very funny, not shy at all. He doesn't leave anyone out."

"He does it every time he boards a flight," Jakubowicz continued. "Ironically, he learned how to fist-bump when he was like 18 months. We were waiting on the tarmac and he was getting antsy so I let him run around the aisle a little bit and these guys behind us taught him how to fist bump."

Now, Guy fist-bumps everyone he encounters on a plane.
After seeing the video, Southwest Airlines shared it on their Facebook page, where it was liked over 70,000 times in just a few days. Jakubowicz said she is very happy that her son is spreading joy.
"I'm so proud of him," Jakubowicz said. "When can you say that you made 70,000 people smile in one day? Most people can't say that and he's done it and he's only two."
