A premature baby boy who was born on during a flight from Penang to Kuching, has been given free flights for life.

Expectant mother Liew Siaw Hsia had thought nothing of taking the AirAsia flight as she wasn't due for another 11 weeks.

But the baby had other ideas and mid-flight Liew started to feel labor pains. Luckily there was a doctor onboard who helped the 31-year-old mom give birth at 2,000 feet.

The flight was diverted to Kuala Lumpur and both the mother and baby are healthy. Liew said it (getting the free flights) was the happiest day of her life.

It's a good job this didn't happen on RyanAir, not only would they no have given away the free flights… they would have probably billed the baby for half a flight.
