Forget chilling in her crib, this baby is going to travel the world.

On Aug. 14, a woman gave birth while on a Cebu Pacific plane, four hours into a flight from Dubai to Manila. In celebration of the birth, the Philippines airline gifted the baby girl, named Haven, 1 million air mile points.

When Haven's mom unexpectedly went into early labor -- more than five weeks before her due date -- in the sky, two nurses who luckily happened to be onboard coached her through the delivery.

With help from the cabin crew, the nurses were able to successfully deliver the child, while the pilot redirected the plane to Hyderabad, India to seek additional medical assistance.

According to a Cebu Pacific press release, Airline CEO Lance Gokongwei said that to celebrate her birth, baby Haven would be awarded 1 million points on the airline's GetGo rewards program, which have no expiry date and can be shared with family members.

The press released also stated that this was the first baby to be born aboard a Cebu Pacific aircraft.
