BUFFALO, NY — A Hamburg couple got some exciting news mid-flight Wednesday, thanks to United Airlines.

Before the expecting couple's "babymoon" trip to Chicago, United customer Nick Accordino reached out to the company to help him pull off a gender reveal for his wife, Jamie, during their flight.

When the two got to the airport Wednesday, the gate was decorated for the reveal.

After the flight took off, the flight attendant made the announcement as everyone unwrapped wands, revealing pink ribbons - and the gender of the baby, a girl!

Jill Sebastian, the Buffalo General Manager at United Airlines said, "United Airlines is all about caring for our customers and when Nick reached out to us, my Buffalo team wanted to make this a very special moment for them."

The couple, of course, was grateful for the efforts.

“United putting this together was way beyond anything we expected. They put on the best show we ever could have asked for,” said Nick.

Jamie added, "The little touches too, like the banners when we sat down, the cookies...It was so many small touches...it was wonderful."
