“Making flying the friendly skies even friendlier.”

A two year old tot captured hearts across the globe for his adorable way of boarding a plane.

Guy strolled down the aisle, fist bumping his fellow passengers, as his family boarded the Southwest airlines flight a few weeks ago – dragging his blanket behind him.

His mum Alya shared the heartwarming clip on Instagram, where it quickly racked up the views.

She explained to ABC:

“When he was 18-months-old we were stuck on the runway in Dallas waiting to depart to New Orleans. He was getting antsy so I let him loose in the aisle.

“Some fun gentlemen then taught him to fist bump. I think that really stuck with Guy because he loves to fist bump and does it everywhere he goes.”

And it looks like nobody minded Guy’s greeting – with even the flight attendants joining in on the fun.

Alya added:

“Grown men were chuckling and laughing, saying how great he was. He even encouraged those with their heads in a screen to look up and interact in a positivity way. He actually waited until they did.”

The clip went down a storm with social media users, with many admitting Guy’s adorable actions had “made their day”.

One person said: This is the cutest!!! I’m going to be more like him today/everyday.”

Another simply wrote: “best video of the year !”

Meanwhile, someone added: “He made so many people smile!”
