A Southwest flight crew gave a special shoutout to a breast cancer survivor on a flight to Hawaii.

"I would like to add a special welcome to a special guest in today's flight. We have a passenger who's headed to Hawaii with us today to celebrate her victory over late stage breast cancer," the pilot says over the intercom.

Jyrl Oldham was flying with her husband Kevin and two other couples. The group have been lifelong friends and this trip was about celebration.

Valeri Jones, who posted the video to Instagram, says her husband is the one who notified the airline.

"Here in today's environment, it just makes it special that we can share in the human bond to take care of each other. Everybody's a big family out there. Welcome aboard," the pilot said.
