A first flight became a memorable family milestone for Nancy Gupta and her parents, after she documented their excitement during the journey in an Instagram video. Rather than centring the footage on the aircraft or the scenery, Gupta used the moment to capture her parents experiencing air travel for the first time and reflected on how their roles had changed over the years.
The video opens with a view from the aircraft window, where the plane’s wing can be seen above a blanket of clouds. The footage carries the label “My parent's view”, indicating what her parents were seeing during the flight.
