ORLANDO – Southwest Airlines customers on flights arriving from Denver and departing to Milwaukee were treated to a unique experience at Gate 121 of Terminal A at Orlando International Airport on Wednesday.
Orlando Magic players Nikola Vucevic and Aaron Gordon showed up to surprise the passengers and help make their flights more fun and festive.
The players joined forces with Southwest employees to work the scheduled flights, direct the aircraft on the apron, assist patrons at the gate podium and hand out snacks and souvenirs. Gordon even got an inside look at the cockpit to learn a bit about the job of the pilots.
