Reactions to the gesture were mixed with TikTok users.

A pilot left a heartfelt note for a tourist sharing his admiration for her.

Steph Bohrer, 23, shared the encounter on TikTok, sparking mixed reactions online. The message, hastily written on the back of a brown napkin, read: “I’ve traveled the world, and you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

Steph, a content creator from New Jersey, received the note while waiting to board her flight in the U.S. According to her TikTok video, the pilot silently placed the napkin in front of her before walking away.

Sharing the moment with her one million followers, Steph’s 11-second clip quickly went viral, amassing over seven million views. Viewers were quick to notice that the pilot had left an unreadable signature, and Steph admitted she never saw his face during the brief interaction, reports the Mirror.

Reactions to the gesture were mixed. Some TikTok users were skeptical, with one commenting, “He’s probably married with five kids,” while another added, “He didn’t leave a number because he’s someone’s husband,” alongside a red flag emoji. Others joked about the pilot’s possible intentions, with one person writing, “Me thinking he probably has three families in three different states,” while another quipped, “I feel like he just carries a STACK of these in his pocket.”

However, not everyone saw the note as a red flag. Some users found it charming, with one joking, “Free flights for life sound good to me,” and another commenting, “Think this is your sign to make a wedding board, babe.” The video has since racked up over 1.2 million likes.

This isn’t the first time a mid-flight note has sparked debate online. Last year, a passenger was left unsettled when a fellow traveler handed her a handwritten message at the end of their journey. The note, which the man insisted “wasn’t creepy,” turned out to be an in-depth compliment about her hair.
